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.
