The alternatives to consider

Neato Botvac D5 Connected - 4.0 / 5

Neato Botvac D5 Connected review: Design

  • D-shaped design for accessing corners Easy-to-remove dirt bin & filter No display, two info lights

Neato Botvac D5 Connected review: Features

Neato Botvac D5 Connected review: Performance and battery

  • Great cleaning capability across multiple floor surfaces Occasionally gets stuck; no manual control to set free Excellent battery life

Neato Botvac D5 Connected review: App

  • Available for iOS and Android Offers scheduling, start, stop and docking

To recap

Scheduling is easy, app response is quick and while the D5 Connected needs a little more babysitting than the Botvac Connected did, it crosses between varying floor surfaces with ease. As a top-up vacuum, the D5 Connected is a great option to consider, but the Botvac Connected makes more sense with its extra features and more premium design.
