Neato D8 can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be able to clean all types of floors, this means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean flooring materials without any limitations.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space.
This can be used for several purposes, for example the Neato D8 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
Neato D8 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba i4 Evo has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Neato D8 supports this feature.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Neato D8 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with iRobot Roomba i4 Evo.
The Neato D8 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. Neato D8 has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums can vary depending on the design of the robot vacuum.

has the same number of cleaning modes as the Neato D8
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning challenges. The Neato D8 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, 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, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The 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 cleaned 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 vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Neato D8 by only 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based 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 dustbin 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 i4 Evo also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. Neato D8 weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 4.7kg
has the same weight as the Neato D8.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Neato D8 has a width of 330mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 337mm
measures more in width than the Neato D8 with a difference of 7mm. 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 of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Neato D8 with a difference of 8mm.
When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Neato D8 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the Neato D8 refers to the 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
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, 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.
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Neato D8 by only 1h. 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, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba i4 Evo or Neato D8 If you prefer the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your home. Neato D8 has carpet detection, which allows the vacuum to detect and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it moves from hard floors like hardwood to carpeted areas.
