When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as 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 washed to keep up the vacuum's performance. The Neato D8's dustbin capacity is at 0.7L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Neato D8 with a difference of only 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Most 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 show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. Neato D8 weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 4.7kg
has the same weight as the Neato D8.
It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting 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, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 337mm
measures more in width than the Neato D8 by 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 measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Neato D8 by 8mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Neato D8's battery power is 2,100mAh
The 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 room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Neato D8's operating time is 1.7h
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Neato D8 by 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
