The Neato Botvac D5 Connected is quite the little machine. When I first looked into this vacuum, I figured it would do well on harder flooring types but questioned its ability on deeper carpet. Boy, was I surprised at how well this little vacuum performs, and I was blown away at the information you get after it is done showing you what it ahas cleaned. I am now hooked on robotics!

They need done that has a cord so you can just let it ride a track attached to the ceiling lol.
I’ve really appreciated your video. I have a complicated physical disability that surgical intervention hasn’t been helpful. I am working out strategies focused on quality of life. Obviously a robotic vacuum that could do the floors in my home would be great help stretching my money in the long term.
To get to my 2 key questions:
1: Can the battery within the botvac be replaced?
2: I don’t have a PDA / phone. What I do have is a Samsung Galaxy E5 Tablet (with 9.6″ screen). I see the ‘Neato Robotics’ app with what looks like this vacuum. Do you have a tablet you could try controlling this through to show me?
I do have a 3rd question: I am also wondering the grade this is able to climb. My wheelchair pitch is 1:10 (similar to a roof). It would be ideal for me to have the docking station setup where I could reach it. This would mean having a small ramp leading to a docking station ~30 inches off the floor. Do you have the ability to try this?
How does it handle door steps, one inch? Can it pass without problem?
Fyi…bought one today nov 23, 2018. Had some issues. Did the 2 software updates it was notifying me about on the app. Its a completely a different machine.
Best review in youtube for the neato thank you!
Thanks but I really like my ecovacs 930 because it mops, most of my house is laminated wood.
Great review, thanks.
Thanks for the review my dude
My previous smart vac (eufy) came with a remote, that allowed you to drive the vac around. Does this have that in app?
Great review! I myself have a husky and golden retriever. Before the neato d5 I was vacuuming every single morning. Now I only really have to do so twice a week!
I wish it had a similar self dumping version like the Sharp vacbot has in it. I had one for a short time: it came damaged and started going crazy and had to get a refund.
I just got this model and i love it! it gets under the furniture and pucks up A LOT of dirt! I named the robot Rosie after the maid from the Jetsons.
Don’t buy it. Mine broke after 10 months. Keeps asking to be rebooted. Have to take out the battery. Not worth the money/hassle.
@techgooch I one very serious and important question……DOES IT AVOID DOG POO?
Would you do an update on this, if you’re still using this vac? I’m about to add a Malamute to our lives and definitely need to know if this lasted you through the year and what your thoughts are on it.
Thanks! — but i would have loved to see how to replace the main brush! — i dont have a clue! — and my manual does NOT show that! — is there some screws to losen? — it should be simple, i think! (and hope)! greetings, Levi from Finland — (i just got mine)
I use my regular vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out of the filter, using the nozzle. It look clean again, like new.
Before I got this I hadn’t vacuumed in 6 months. This is definitely worth it if you’re a slob like me! 👍
Every wife’s secret weapon to get hubby to vacuum. 😁
I repair these things for a living. The d5 is nice but the d3 is better imo
