Neato D8 can clean all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to clean several flooring materials without any limitations.
The robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the Neato D8 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Neato D8 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Neato D8 supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in rooms where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Neato D8 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Neato D8. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. Neato D8 has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and washed to keep up the vacuum's performance.
Neato D8's dustbin capacity is at 0.7L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Neato D8 by only 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied.
Neato D8 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. The Neato D8 weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 4.7kg
has the same weight as the Neato D8. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Neato D8 has a width of 330mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 338mm
measures more in width than the Neato D8 by 8mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Neato D8's height measures 100mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Neato D8 by 8mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can fit under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge.
It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Neato D8's battery power is 2,100mAh
The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Neato D8 by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Neato D8 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Neato D8's operating time is 1.7h
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Neato D8 with a difference of only 0.45h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Neato D8 has a charge time of 3h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 2.5h
spends lesser time charging than the Neato D8 by only 0.5h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
Neato D8 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus or Neato D8 If you value the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your space. Neato D8 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to identify and adapt to different floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it moves from hard floors like hardwood to areas with carpets.
