Plus, as Neato goes from strength to strength you can be fairly certain that software support will be continued for this great range of robot vacuum cleaners.The floor planner app lets you draw no-go lines. That said, if you see this model reduced in a sale, or if it gets further reductions as time goes by, you’ll definitely get a good clean out of it. And if you’re planning on spending hundreds on a top-of-the-line cleaner, we’d highly recommend stretching your budget a little more to get the current flagship. This would be fine if it was significantly cheaper than the D7, but it isn’t. The Neato Botvac Connected is a great robot vacuum cleaner, but it isn’t as good as the D7. While the 0.7-liter capacity is fairly common for robot vacuums, the fact that the Neato is as powerful as it is means it often overfills. The plastic panel housing the bin is too easily marked, making the Connected feel cheap, which it definitely isn’t – and that’s a major problem for the Connected: it’s a flagship-priced product in a market where it’s no longer a flagship.Īnother complaint we have is the bin size, and the lack of a bin sensor.
We like the range of different options in terms of cleaning modes, and once we got to grips with the scheduling section of the app it happily stuck to its regular routine, taking all the pain out of keeping our floors clean. The intelligent sensors and sophisticated app mean you can rest assured that you’ll be getting a thorough clean, with all (accessible) areas of your home taken care of.

The level of cleaning you get from the Neato Botvac Connected is truly brilliant the design of this robo-vac allows it to really get into the nooks and crannies, plus with the different cleaning modes it does an excellent job even in a more challenging abode like that of a pet-owner. And if it doesn’t you needn’t worry – it will just take itself back to its charging station for a top-up before setting off again. One major positive is that the Connected boasts a battery life of 120 minutes, equivalent to a surface area of 5,000 square feet – that’s about the size of a basketball court, so unless your abode is truly palatial, it should manage your whole pad on a single charge. The scheduling section of the app is the least intuitive, which is a shame as it’s the feature we imagine will get the most use.
If you’re the type of user who would rather have your home cleaned when you’re not there, you can use the app to program the Neato to do a maximum of one cycle a day. This is a brilliant feature, as it enables you to specifically target an area where you may have had a spill. One feature shared by both cleaners is the ability to manually control them via the app like you would a remote control car. The different cleaning modes in the Neato app The Botvac Connected doesn’t have this feature, and is the lesser for it, requiring you to crate physical obstacles for it if you want to stop if from cleaning an area of your home. One of the features we absolutely love in the Botvac D7 Connect is no-go lines, which lets you use a map generated by the cleaner to dictate where it cleans on future cycles. The Turbo mode was so efficient at sucking up dust, dirt and dog hair that it required numerous trips around our apartment per week just so that it didn’t overfill the bin every time. We found that as we most often used the robo-vac when we weren’t at home we opted for the Turbo cleaning mode, as the louder volume wasn’t a consideration. The depth and quality of its cleaning are among the best on the market.Īn option you get with the Connected that you don’t get with a cheaper model like the D5 Connected is the ability to choose between ‘Eco’ and ‘Turbo’ modes.Įco is a quieter cleaning mode that’s gentler on your carpets, with Turbo being more anti-social in terms of its volume, and more vigorous in its cleaning efforts. The Neato Botvac Connected is a brilliant vacuum cleaner. How quickly you get through these filters will depend on how often you use the vacuum, but they’re easy to swap out, with a simple plastic latch mechanism. You can get a few different types of filter for the Neato range, but as a high-end model the Connected comes with the Ultra Performance Filters as standard. This is attached with a magnet, and pops off for cleaning and replacement. The other brush is a smaller, less sophisticated array of bristles that rotates at 90 degrees to the main brush, and which helps to kick up dust and dirt hiding in crevices and along skirting boards.
