I have been waiting for this!!!!!! I love my D7 and I’m disappointed Neato have fallen behind so much in terms of innovation 😔
And do you see any innovation? Becuase i don't.
It's basically the same as the previous line-up. After three years of nothing and more than a year of zero updates, congrats to Neato for reinventing a wheel...
@@SilentlyPrickable None at all unfortunately
FACTS 👍
@@SilentlyPrickable On the other hand, I got excited to see that Neato released a new lineup, only to be left with a question of: So .. what's really new? It seems like the robots are just as dumb as their previous lineup, so nothing new there either. New app, with same features, and a new design.. wow..
it is remarkable how the company that laid the very templet for smart vacuums is just gliding along. Neato lack the cult to always buy their products no matter how stagnant like Roomba did during their doldrums; and Roomba has improved their line-up like mad over the last 2 years.
This episode reminds me of all the sacrifices my men and I had to make to retake Cyberdyne Square in the 1st Robot Vacuum War. They swarmed us with low end bots until we ran out of ammo. Luckily we found our first recon squad who had already succum to the robots and their ammo. Us Vacuum War Veterans never get the acknowledgment we deserve, after going through such a horrific war.
When the Roborock S7 review coming I have been searching CZcams for a good review of but none of that are right for me and all your reviews are covering all the questions I have Great Work!!
Friday! I hope!
@@VacuumWars yay!
I have been a Neato fan for close to 10 years. I’ve had 4 of them over these years. Yesterday I moved on and bought a Deebot. I just really got tired of feeling like my old XV were better than the new D4, plus getting stuck everywhere, plus having to run over and over again until it mapped our house. Still a Neato fan, but until they come out with something that can really be matched to some other competitors, I won’t be buying another one so soon.
I purchased a D7 based on your reviews a couple of years ago. It worked fine for a while then began to have connectivity issues, Neato support was very helpful, including and RMA and lots of emails, the issues was in fact with the ISP blocking ports Neato used to connect to the internet. I really like the D shape of the Neato robots, I feel it really does a much better job at cleaning (totally subjective, haven't done tests), but I was really hoping to see an auto empty bin from Neato, this D8 doesn't seem to do anything better than the D7, and why they released a whole new app and have abandoned the old app is beyond me.
Thank you for all of your hard working with these reviews, they really are informative!
I think it’s Vacuum Wars duty as the leading robot vacuum review on CZcams (possibly world) to send a link to this video and a copy of the comments section to Neato.
I really doubt the new owners care. They didn't give a flying crap about the multitudes of complaints from old customers.
Absolutely Nailed it with this review. Babysitting a MUST with the first mapping. (I have the D7). Mirrors to the floor are this vacuums kryptonite. However, We fill the bin almost every run and its a smaller house and even after cleaning lady vacuumed. This vacuum works amazing. I couldn’t imagine a smaller bin size. I would like them to add “Map updating” to my D7 TOO.
I Had the Neato D5 for 4 years and I decided to upgrade to Roborock s7 maxV Ultra.
Yes, the Neato falls behind in terms of navigation and getting stuck, but in my eyes it's still number 1 in terms of vacuuming ability. I have 4 cats, and there's just no comparison: Neato ends every run with an almost full dust bin, while the Roborock barely picks up half of that. Even after a Roborock vac+mop run, I can still feel some dust on floor if I'm barefoot, which was never my experience with Neato.
Neato by far cleans better than most of the robot vacuums - I find its practically superior to Deebot, for example, in cleaning floors. That said the cons you mentioned here with it getting stuck and being "dumb" in freeing itself is a problem ongoing since the release of the Connected series units. Neato boasts its D-shape, but it causes it to get stuck more, cause more damage to trim, furniture, and walls, and they clearly haven't fixed the algorithm that helps the robot get around advanced corners and furniture. All signs point to Neato not fixing this issue (for some reason) so I wouldn't be able to recommend this vacuum myself at this point. And while LIDAR is superior in general navigation, a camera allows for object recognition and avoidance. A combo of the two is really the best move moving forward for robot manufacturers. This D8 is effectively a visual re-design of the D7 but doesn't seem to offer much superiority. It's a shame.
Anyway, great video as always - and thank you.
As an owner of a D7, when I first saw this I was wondering what was new beside the design. Looking at your review the issues that I have with my D7 are also in the D8, so doesn't seem like much have changed really. My D7 Also gets stuck and sometimes loses its idea of where it is in the map, and the continues to bump into a door because it thinkts its the right way. And it will continue to do so again and again and again ... All in all I think there is much better options out there.
I just did a tear-down of the D8. Complete overhaul of the electronics with several key things resolved such as the side brush motor is now gear drive (no more o-ring belt). From a hardware perspective, they have been working hard it seems. Will see how the firmware and software evolves since it is a new platform.
Jeez it’s unfortunate they haven’t fixed the pinch traps. Such a simple fix and it’s something that’s seen in their parent company’s robots, Vorwerk. Granted, you’re correct, once you map the house it performs phenomenally
I don't expect them to fix their navigation issues ever. This has been around since 2019 when I got the D6 and is why I returned it and got another brand. Their app is also inferior to alternatives.
Excited to watch this! Thanks as always for the reviews.
First! 🏆🏆🏆
Just a shame Neato has been left in the dust - quite literally
I am currently in the market for a robot vacuum and I really appreciate your videos and reviews. That being said one brand of vacuum I have not noticed you ever mention or review, I may have just missed it, is Miele. Now, while putting aside the onset performance, the reason I bring it up is that when discussing with more than one vacuum dealer and repair they often bring up that there is only one brand that they have not heard any complaints over and never have to fix, and that is Miele, their performance being top notch, they last for very, very long time with out any problems, and they have great customer support should something get broken (not fail or break down). I know in my experience that my family has had one of their canister vacuums for I believe over 20 years now and it operates basically the same as when my parents got it. Now I know that there is no really good way to test longevity and performance over time so that can't really be part of a review, but as I said before I am currently in the market for a robot vacuum and I know that they have one now and given my confidence in their brand I would really like to know how it compares with other current available models.
I have a Miele Scout RX2. It cleans well, but is dumb, frequently getting stuck in stupid ways. The unit has been replaced a few times, and the side brushes stop spinning frequently. The app is next to useless. Avoid.
Had a D7 and fortunately, a friend who worked at Neato got if for me at a vastly reduced price. It vacuumed OK, but a lot of "schmutz" from wool carpet stuck in the brush. The Roborock seems a lot smarter and gives less trouble. Mr. Neato was re-homed. It would be interesting to see how well robots clean around things. I recently moved and when I picked up my desk, there was a huge amount of dog hair the robot did not get that was unseen when the desk was in place.
I just returned the D8 after 2 weeks of babysitting. It cleans really well, it just gets lost and bangs it’s head too many times. I experienced the same as this video, if you lifted it to move it after it got stuck, expect it to get lost. It’s software just isn’t ready. IMO it’s the best high pile carpet cleaner though. I ran the old D85 and it can navigate better.
Great review. Looks like the D8 has the same problems as my D3's, so I wouldn't expect a software fix to improve its navigation issues since they've been there for years, models, and generations. The one thing that made the D3 much better was buying a larger battery for it. It's well worth it, and something that VacuumWars should include in its reviews is the frequency and price of battery replacement. The original D3 battery lasted between 12-18 months before it started giving me issues I realized was related to the battery. Also, Recharge and Resume functionality isn't the same as capacity when you need the vacuum to be finished in time to for you to log in remotely from work and can't have it restarting its cleaning in the middle of a Zoom meeting.
This robot is totally OVERPRICED ...but still better than roomba s9 that doesen't have lidar...
For me if the Roomba S9 had Lidar it would be the perfect robot vacuum.
Problem is with lidar is there are some many components that could fail, I’m just waiting for the lidar belts to give up on my neato’s
Had the D7, failed just outside of warranty period, a very expensive mistake to have purchased, never again will I buy a Neato. Roborock is the way to go.
I got a neato about 5 years ago. Still going strong although I bought an updated battery for it.
That is always good to hear. Thanks.
The D shape also makes it better with larger debris, like dry beans.. screws etc (stuff that i have laying around here a lot :). The vacuums that have the brush in the center will end up having larger items lodged between the bot and the floor.
There is a big benefit in having a large brush in the front.
I had a Neato D85 and switched to Ecovacs Deebot 930.. because i wanted an app for room select cleaning. And it was a really disappointing switch.. going to replace it with a neato D7. Neatos are really good, even the old ones.
I still have my D3 and once I got to know my little buddy, he has been faithful ever sent twice a week.
Interesting that none of the new neato lineups are self emptying. Are they asleep?
and no of them have AI or 3D sensors
@DikoMan I was just thinking that, not really sure who owns them.
@@Iamnatewayne According to Wikipedia, the company is an independent subsidiary of German appliance manufacturer Vorwerk.
@DikoMan Vorwerk bought them way back in 2017... which also coincides with the point where Neato stopped being innovative...🤔 Also, Vorwerk is the most prestigious manufacturer of vacuums in Germany.
@@christophbergmann8359 and German companies are generally more conservative with large changes to existing products - take SAP for instance.
Same garbage side brush.. If it were closer to the front corner, it could really get into corners good.
I modified my neato D5 by cutting some of the white plastic strip under the brush roll as the side brush kept catching. Looks as though nothing has changed. 😒
Thanks for doing this review after months of waiting!
I thought in 2021, a self empty base is a thing. Why would you spend $700 on this Neato when you can get a Shark IQ with self empty base for under $400? My shark IQ is the best Robot so far and I've gone through over 10 robots including a Neato over the years.
Owned three Neatos but these days i changed to Roboroc when Neato for some reason gave up in developing their vacuum cleaners.
Why not a review of the “Vorwerk vr300”?
Wow can’t believe it finally came, thanks for the awesome review!
The review came but the robot was disappointing.
Yeah you freaking broke our balls for months and now this robot is completely trash. Congrats
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review as always. My biggest complaint about robots without an external bin to empty itself after each run is that the bin gets full too quickly especially if you have a dog. My neato D4 ‘s bin fills quickly up after doing the kitchen, lounge and small dining area so I hope that Neato releases a robot one day with an external bin system with a Lidar and AI camera..
I have a D7 and I bought an i7+ because I wanted the self cleaning feature but found out the i7+ isn't nearly as good as my old D7 on picking up pets hair from the carpet. Ended up returning the i7+ and bought a D10. The first run was very annoying. It's a shame neato still doesn't have the self cleaning feature, but at least it aces on the main goal, leaving the floor spotless.
I love this thing. Makes maps good pickup does what it should. I seriously don't know why ppl hate these ....even my D85. Gramps still doin good
Would love to see if your battalion of robot vacuums could handle different types of carpet edges: shag, ruggable, etc... Love the channel
I run my D7 regularly, but I hate that even the slightest movement on the base means I have to remap the whole floor. And when I do remap, that babysitting... I really wish Neato could do something about this, but it doesn't look like they will.
Neato is dead to me
firmware 1.7.0-2933/app ver 1.5 ---The map works perfectly. The robot will not get stuck and will find its way back to the charging base. The only problem is the side brush. Only works on hard floors. It turns off on carpet, but does not turn on again when leaving it
Which model?
@@TheTurbomopar D8
Can you please do a review of the app? I loved my d5 and was bitterly disappointed in the d7 and how they seemingly abandoned the "old" app not adding features in years. And now the new app is incompatible to the legacy robots??? If you do an app review could you please look at features like selecting multiple rooms, live progress, and other things worth mentioning?
are you at all going to do a review of the Bissell Spinwave Robot?
Can you do a review of the LG Cordzero Thinq Robotic Vacuum?
Can you review the 360 S5, S7 & S9 and the Bissell spinwave please!
S7 review comes out today at 4PM EST!
The D8 does get stupidly stuck in the weirdest of places and one would think as a smarter robot it would have a command or programming to recognize those trouble areas and avoid getting stuck. But once I identified those trouble areas I was able to add No-Go zones to keep it out of those areas. But often even though the base is within 10 feet of my Wifi router, it would often loose it's position and ask I to pick it up and bring it to the station, or it would spin around while exclaiming, "I need to find my bearings", but usually after that it's 50/50 if it can go back to the base.
The times it can, great, but the times it doesn't, then its the go pickup and baby remedy. But once back at base it seems to reset its lostness and can start fresh like it never got lost. The odd times it would simply skip areas I zoned as clean zones and would have to manually select those areas and send it out again.
What I find amusing is the sample pic of the APP screen all videos tend to show is a right side up or aligned with X and Y mapping. But ever since I got mine, the map aligns with true north. But the street i live off, is on a slight angle from true north, so even the map it creates is on an angle, but the no-go zones follow an X and Y axis... I wish I could get their previous line drawn no-go zones instead of standard sizing boxes which are locked to the X/Y axis even though the map is not.
The solution according to Neato if it misses areas on the map is to clean the sensors from the underside of the robot. That fixes that problem until they get dirty again, which is weekly or basically after each cleaning.
What about the smoke test for the hepa filter?
I was lucky enough to get this vac at clearance deal.. $77 brand new 😅
I have the slightly older D5 and the Floorplan setup and Floorplan related stuff is horrible. I have my unit in my dining room. If a dining room chair is moved 6in from its normal position it doesn't recognize the Floorplan. Also like you said times when I changed furniture I had to redo the entire initial Floorplan process over and it sometimes takes many tries and a lot of babysitting.
I wish neato would at least offer a "Floorplan run" that doesn't clean just goes around to map like another robot you reviewed kinda recently does.
It's my only gripe of the D5. Based on the fact it's been 3 or 4 years and no improvements to the d5 I personally don't have faith in them to fix the d8 either sadly
A few years ago I got a Neato to replace my Hombot and, while suction was better, I was quite disappointed overall. Navigation was reasonably mostly good but it would always reverse into the wall (why?? having lidar it knows exactly where it is). It was louder and the exhaust in the back would blow dust around. Sold it after a week.
Soo D3 and D10 are more or less the same robot minus some battery difference and a bit of suction power. That's a shame, I have a D3 and it's a nice robot, but why would I ever upgrade to a D8,9,10?
I used to be a big fan of Neato, I’ve owned 3 and currently
Own 2 the D5 and D7. At first they were at the leading edge of features, mainly the no-go zones. Ever since then they have fallen behind big time, and with the new line of robots they haven’t really brought anything notable to the table. On top of that I have had 0 software updates for each robot in the last 3 ish years, along with a repeatable issue where I can’t edit no-go lines on a map on iPhones. I have reached out to support so many times with this issue and each and every time it’s the same, factory reset your robot create a new map and the problem returns. No help after that unfortunately. The robots are however are very reliable. I will definitely not be shopping with Neato again and most likely will go with Roborock.
I really don't see this as much of an upgrade over the older Neato's. I don't think they gonna be around for too much longer.
I feel Neato has lost all lead they had and I've no idea why they did. They're so slow in terms of adapting new technologies and a new design. Their vacuums can be better but they've not improved or don't try new things.
If you haven’t heard, the company that bought Neato 5 years ago (Vorwerk) is saying they weren’t reaching the "self-defined economic goals". It’s sad to see them go. P.S. they will keep the servers online for at least 5 years. If you want to know more, search up “is neato robotics going out of business?”.
Looks like they didn't really improve on their last gen bots. My D6 suffered the same navigation issues. It's really missing a lidar tower bump sensor and corner side brush like their Vorwerk siblings to actually get into corners.
Personally I would miss the app features of the competitors, but they might be fine for others.
I wouldn't be surprised if the AI hasn't been improved since the XV-11. I've got a D5 and it makes all the same dumb errors shown in this video plus others, like simply thinking it must travel through a wall to get to another room rather than go out the way it came in. My XV-11 (10 years old) was at least as intelligent as my D5.
The only time I would recommend Neato is when they go on super sale for sub $200, and even then you'll want to get the base model and upgrade the battery and get a spiral beater brush (no bristles to tangle up hair).
I still can’t believe Neato didn’t release a model with a self emptying base. I love my D7 but it does have those navigation issues where it gets stuck or it will randomly decide to ram into the dryer or the couch over and over for no reason then finally decide to move on. I recommended the D7 to my aunt before mine started having issues and have had to fix hers for her 2 or 3 times now because it was non functional. It makes me look bad that I recommended it to her whenever it decides to stop working. We both love them when they do what they’re supposed to do. I’m just disappointed that they haven’t fixed any issues with the new versions. I’ll probably end up getting a different brand whenever it needs replacing
I own a D7. What happened was the original owners sold the company off and the new owners never fixed anything after an update broke the software. Then they proceeded to take an eternity to release this new line which is garbage. So many customers complaining about problems, and they really didn't care. I'm pretty sure they honestly don't care about these products at all and the company is effectively dead.
Ugh.
Very interesting machine. I bought my d7 after watching your great review of it a few years ago. I liked it but we always forgot to empty it so it would leave streaks of dirt on the floor. The brushroll also tangles really bad for me. So we replaced it with the shark IQ robot a little over a year ago and we have liked it. It’s not a perfect robot. It does have some issues. But we have liked it for it’s value and auto empty features. We do want to upgrade in the future. But I haven’t seen something super worth it yet.
I was excited for the new Neato range. Having both the D3 and D5 I’m a neato fan but I am not seeing much innovation. Yes there is a new app but it really does appear that it’s a D7 with a newly designed lid.
I feel saddened and I will probably opt for the D7 and save some cash.
Yes, really sad indeed, my D7 side brush motor has stopped working, so looking at other brands now which have so many more features.
@@Lill-Q the side brush is weak on the Neatos but the D shape design is the best.
Sadly I can’t afford a roomba S9
Hi, nice video. Can you please test the Xiaomi Roidmi Eve Plus. It is CRAZY cheap in my country is just 370$ now with the auto empty dock. I have it and what i saw so far is that is a very good mopping robot (it has the Y pattern) and also very good vacuum robot. I have the Roborock S5 as a back up and I upgraded from it due to the auto-dock. In vacuuming in my opinion it is at least as good if not better than the S5. The neatos in my opinion aren't worthing their price,....
My D6 died 2 times in 6 months and replaced by Neato after lots of arguments. The new one was repaired by Neato when it died again after 4-6 moths of use. It is almost 2 years I am using the 2nd one with issues. Neato refused to support any further.
The problem with your "Deep Clean" Test is in that tiny area the robot goes over the same area say 20 times in a normal vacuuming run it MIGHT go over it twice.
I'd love to see you do a full review of the Hoover UH30600 or UH30301, they're excellent budget bagged upright vacuums under $200.
Great review! I tried the D7 last year but the navigation does not hold a candle to Roborock, so I returned it. Speaking of, is a Roborock S7 review coming?
hopefully this Friday!
I've been a pretty big neato fan for a while but I think they dropped the ball on these D8/9/10 models. They are expensive, have no new innovative features like they used to have, the design/motor/lidar is basically unchanged.. no improvements to noise, only slight to suction, etc - no vision, no mopping, no brush improvements.. there is like nothing here for this pricepoint. They sell it by saying "it pairs faster with bluetooth" but I should have to do that one time.. it's not really improving anything. And if the 9/10 only differences are the filtration then the value is even worse.
The "stuck" segment of the video pains me because Neato's didn't use to do this. I have both a D5/D4 for a few years now and neither one had a problem getting unstuck until 6 or so months ago, pretty sure it was after a firmware update. Now I regularly see both of them get stuck in my kitchen chairs and dumbly do the same thing for several minutes until they give up and report it.
I do feel like the D shape is probably an advantage - I would think in the embedded test if you embedded sand in the corners and compared it to circular bots the neato would come out ahead. But the rest of the bot is just lacking at this point.
Also it's pretty annoying that Neato created an entirely new app for the D8/9/10 and basically abandoned the earlier models.
Looking forward to the Roborock S7 review because I think that's going to be my next vacuum.
Friday! I hope!
How do you like it? We have 2700 sq ft carpet, tile and vinyl. One Persian cat and 1 girl. Concerned about pet hair and ability to clean carpets. Any issues with emptying the dirt bin or hair breaking or getting stuck on rollers etc? How is the maintenance?
@@VacuumWars I been seeing Roomba but now I like neato
I bought this Vacuum and was severely disappointed. I own the Neato BotVac Connected and I figured that the newest model would have superior navigation and just be better altogether. NOPE! The D8 is WAY louder than my BotVac Connected at high power and like you said the battery is smaller cannot finish a job at High Power like my old vacuum does. After a few runs it created a map of the floorplan but it wasn't "square" like they show you and I couldn't create labels for separate rooms. I did make some no-go lines and it seemed to work, initially. However after 5 or so runs it began complaining of not knowing where it was to the point it couldn't finish a room. It would make a 1/2 a lap around the edge of the room and the just shut off. I talked to Tech support and I ended up returning it as defective back to the store. Bottom line for me is even if it didn't fail, I'm just really disappointed that they just don't seem to be innovating and they made a lack luster product. I saw your review of the EcoVacs Deebot N8 Pro + and opted to buy that one instead for about the same amount of Money.
Yeah it’s really sad to see Neato being left in the dust by the competition :-/
@@Lill-Q that's the consequences to remain stagnant
@@FishyCookies indeed
When do you think you will review the new shark Wandvac? Seems like its approaching the same market as the dyson omniglide being an ultra light quick cleaner, but it has carpet capability as well.
Shark continue to butt head with Dyson cloning a more affordable version of Dyson stuff.
How's it performing after three years & subsequent updates?
I keep hearing radio ads for the Aerius (Electrolux?) air purifiers and their “MASA” technology. You should review one
Can we get an updated review as well as a review for the D9 and D10 now that they’re available?
I don't think the "dumb" robot will be fixed much, in regards to navigation. My old D3 has the same stupid behaviour, getting stuck under stuff that he shouldn't (like the dresser), trying to get under or on stuffthat he can't (don't hump the feet of the f*ing arm chair, you can't and shouldn't reproduce) and not stopping when something doesn't work. Neato seems stuck in what, 2018?
Sad indeed, for a company who really brought the smart vacuum to the next level with LIDAR and zone cleaning/keep out zones.
@@Lill-Q yeah, it's a damn shame :/
Can you review the narwal self cleaning robot
Hey, if you haven't done so before, could you make a video about the gaps in between tiles on the floor and cat litter? A friend of mine has an older robot vacuum and that thing just pushes the cat litter into the tile gaps and can't pick it up. I have tiles and cats, too, and I am considering buying a robot vacuum. But if it's a common thing of them all, that they only push the cat litter into the tile gaps - then I don't need to buy one. I would love such a video
More than year since review and Neato still didn't improve navigation, not added multi flour support. Spot clean not introduced so far, so you can clean entire room, but not smaller area. You still can only use it in Eco mode if you start botvac from button on device. It left corners uncleaned and stuck where older Neato model where able to pass. You can use it with Siri anymore.... I can keep going it seems forever... and I really regret I changed to D10. Neato looks like in a big trouble and support only response is "we are working on this bug/feature, but we can't give you a date when we fix it"
Im good with my D7 for now
8 months later, have the software glitches been worked out. I have one of these coming from Amazon today.
We need a review on Makita’s robot vacuum, since I find it to be the BIGGEST robot vacuum I know of.
I've been running a D7 for a few years now. Seeing same issues as this video.. getting wedged under chairs and tables with a foot rest..
Agree the software is a bit dumb when it gets stuck.
Bin fills up way too quickly on carpet..
The most annoying part is that the mapping system rarely ever works..
I have tried many many times relearning the room, making sure furniture is in the same place, trying new positions for the base, cleaning all sensors including the LIDAR.. but it still cannot seem to lock onto the room.
Room is a 3m ceiling and approx 45m2.
When the D7 comes out, it seems to just scan the room and throw an error.. I have since given up on the automatic feature, which is a shame.
I simply start the vacuum manually with one press and it then spins round the room no problem (other than the other under chair wedge).
What would massively improve this room lock issue is some better error messages or showing me what part of the room it cannot recognise..
I bought a D7 years ago and was happy with that then but this D8 can't compete now. I upgraded this year to an irobot S9+ and i7+ for their auto empty bin systems. If Neato doesn't add an auto empty bin system, I think they'll disappear from the market. I'm kind of glad now I didn't continue to wait for Neato's new bots as this D8 is already disappointing.
Tengo una Neato modelo 9050262 la tengo fuera de servicio al o poderla programar.En Bahia Blanca habra algun service?
Great review but at that price I really would like to see a automatic dust bin.
When are you gonna do the D10?
If you search on roborock t7s plus on CZcams, you will fine 4 videos of the self empying bin
Love the reviews! Will you be reviewing the Narwal? I'm really curious to see how good it is and you are my go to!
You point out software updates will fix these problem. But the D7 have actually the same problems. Should also be pointed out that the old series is left hanging with no new software or updates. Also they have a problem if the battery lacks 100% power and if you want to draw a map but need charge in the middle of the run, it will never draw the maps if it can't charger to 100%.
D7 got it last update December 18th, 2019. Since then they have left people hanging and focus on the "new" app. Maybe that should be a topic in these wars? Since software update is somehow a good way to keep old machine alive and improve them.
i was watching this in a parking lot while eating food and the sound of the worlds flying on the scene scared the shit out of my and i literally drove out of the parking lot and moved 😐
Is this at least as good as the Nestor D7 which you loved?
Hi, did ya'll ever get around to reviewing the D9 or D10? I know they're outdated but my D80 was a tank and I'm just hoping its a D80 clone with more suction and mapping features.
we had it for a week and it is yet to complete its first run. it keeps getting stuck and canceling the run.
@Vacuum Wars I didn't find your review on Neato D9. I just bought it for 199€ (around 210 $). Did I srike a good bargain?
Please review the xiaomi 1T there are basically no reviews anywhere in english
What’s the quiets robo to vacuum?
Can you please review the robo Rock s7
I'm hoping to have that done for this Friday!
I wonder why you didnt include the S9 in this comparison.
Neato app had multi-level support for quite a while now. In fact, that was the primary reason why I bought one back in the day. Did they actually REMOVE it in the new app?
Got mine for under $300 😊
Hi mate, can u suggest an all purpose vacuum for both home cleaning,car cleaning and wet carpet cleaning. Please thanks
Does it actually still have any competitive advantage relative to its competitor's flagship models?
Thanks
I wish neato would join other companies and make a self emptying robot
Thanks for the review. Hmm, I have the D4, which is doing okay, but there are limitations to what it can do. It seems however these limitations are still present in the D8. What are your thoughts?
Which vacuum has the highest performance on deep clean in carpets?
love your channel. is there a vac that has lidar but not a camera?
Will you review the new Dreame Bot L10 Pro with 3D lasers system?
