In addition, the mop can be extended and removed for easy cleaning, and the vacuum cleaner has a self-cleaning washboard that automatically washes and dries the mop with hot water at 70°C.

The function of dirt detection and rewashing of floors with multispectrum sensors ensures that your home is thoroughly cleaned. Auto tank filling and cleaning agent additive make the maintenance of the vacuum cleaner easy and convenient.

It may not be the best camera angle because the robot rides along the floor but definitely something we use from time to time.

However, it comes with a large price tag that is not suitable for all households.
Neato Botvac D4 Connected
Neato announces that it plans to end the manufacture of its robotic vacuum cleaners. It's important to note that even if they stop producing the devices, software updates and cloud services will still be available for at least five years to come.
When we compare the Neato Botvac D4 Connected with its big brother, the Neato Botvac D7 Connected, we see clear similarities between them. They share many of the basic features and design elements. The differences lie in some specific aspects. For example, the D7 has a slightly longer operating time and is equipped with a HEPA filter. In addition, the D7 usually has a lower price compared to the D4.
This makes the choice between the Neato Botvac D4 Connected and the D7 somewhat limited. The D7 offers the advantages of longer uptime and HEPA filtration at a more favorable price. Therefore, it can be difficult to find strong reasons to choose the D4 when the D7 is available as a more affordable option.
