Neato Botvac D7 Connected

Neato has announced that it intends to end production of its robotic vacuum cleaners. It is worth noting that despite this decision, Neato will still provide software updates and continue to offer its cloud services for at least five years to come.

Looking at the Neato Botvac D7 Connected, we find several impressive features that make it one of the most interesting robot vacuum cleaners on the market. One of the most remarkable features is the generous dust container that has a capacity of as much as 700ml. This means that you do not have to empty the vacuum cleaner as frequently, which saves time and effort.

Another practical feature that the Neato Botvac D7 offers is fast charging. This means that when the robot vacuum cleaner's battery reaches low level, it will automatically go to the charging station to recharge enough to complete the cleaning. This optimizes the use of the battery and ensures that cleaning can be completed without interruption.

In terms of cleaning performance, the Neato Botvac D7 is very effective. Its wide brush and D-shaped design allow for effective cleaning even in corners and over thresholds. It is also particularly adept when it comes to doing deep cleaning of carpets, making it a reliable partner for keeping your home clean and tidy.

Another advantage of the Neato Botvac D7 Connected is the ability to use “cleaning maps” in the included app. This gives you a visual map of the areas that the robot vacuum cleaner has cleaned, making it easy to follow and control the cleaning process.

In summary, the Neato Botvac D7 Connected offers an impressive set of features and performance characteristics that make it one of the most reliable and efficient robot vacuum cleaners on the market.
