One of the best robot vacuums cleaners you can buy.

Good design, great cleaning abilities for a robot vacuum, good battery life and auto-recharge docking station, smartphone notifications and control, easy to use and schedule via the app

Gets stuck every now and then, manual mode only works when on same network (so no manual control from afar), expensive, can't clean everything (stairs, for example)

The Neato Botvac Connected has impressed us. It not only manages to seamlessly cross between varying floor surfaces, but it leaves them clean and it's able to cope well enough without being babysat.

The Neato Botvac Connected is the best-performing robot vacuum we've ever tested. The new Neato app is well-designed and easy to use, and finally brings remote control functionality to the Botvac line.

At $700, it's the most expensive Neato yet -- $200 more than the previous generation. We also encountered a few usability quirks during testing.

The Neato Botvac Connected is better at cleaning floors than any other robot vacuum on the market, and it costs less than its app-enabled rival, the iRobot Roomba 980. If you're willing to live without remote controls, you can save some money by...

Wi-Fi-enabled. Well-designed app. Powerful suction.

Pricey. Quirky setup process.

Fantastic cleaning prowess, including ability to pick up clumps of pet hair ; Uses LIDAR triangulation for better mapping around the home ; App is user-friendly and offers a ton of stats

Height makes it tough to get under furniture ; Will suck up a cord if you have it lying around ; Expensive

Need extra help around the house? The Neato Botvac Connected is as reliable as it is capable.

If you're in the market for a robot vaccum cleaner, this is one of the best models around. It supports complex scheduling functions, cleans very well, is easy to empty and clean, and is controllable via iOS and WatchOS. The advantage to cleaning by...

Any device that's battery powered must compromise either size, power, or speed. But after thorough testing, we think the Neato Botvac Connected sits at the perfect crossroads of those three.

It vacuums; I don't. It saves me about 95 percent of the time I would spend cleaning, and since I rarely have to do anything, the floor gets vacuumed far more often than it would if it was just up to me. ; It's a great vacuum. Powerful suction, the...

The app needs work. It's missing obvious features like a full set of notifications, and it's unreliable. ; It'll get stuck on cords and other things on the ground. ; The magnetic strip is a clunky solution for a virtual wall. It can't detect it from a...

The Neato Botvac Connected is an impressive little device. Delegating the vast majority of your floor cleaning duties to a robot is a great time saver. While we might complain about the easily-worn finish and the smartphone app, we have no complaints...
