Neato D8 weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10 Plus, at 3.8kg
is lighter than the Neato D8 with a difference of 0.9kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10 Plus, at 350mm
measures more in width than the Neato D8 by 20mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening 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. Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10 Plus, at 97mm
measures less in height than the Neato D8 by 3mm. When selecting 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 operate on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Neato D8's battery power is 2,100mAh
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10 Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Neato D8 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge.
