Handing off the unpleasant task of vacuuming the house to a robot sounds like a dream; but smart home products aren’t always the most user-friendly devices, and if they’re hard to use, we tend to ignore them. The Neato Botvac D6 is so easy to use, and so good at its job, it quickly becomes one of the family. Here’s our review.

D7 is better ?
6:15 missing footage of what happens when the d6 reaches the corner.
Really should have showed how to empty it.
I really like your hublot Big Bang watch!
I got the D6 as a present. Out of the box the bot would NOT connect to the Neato servers (why that is needed I do not know). User support tried to be helpful but to no avail. They suggested:
1. Use a mobile hot spot to connect the bot (I didn’t have one right away but ultimately found one on my Surface Pro)
2. Set the bot to a fixed IP address
3. Set port forwarding for two specific ports
4. Add the IP address of the bot to the DMZ
Are you kidding me? Well, I finally got it attached to my WiFi and their servers, but that would only last for 2 days, after which the bot was offline. Getting it back online required a huge rigmarole. What a PITA.
They should look to Nest on how to connect devices. No pain, no strain, and NONE of the crap suggested in 1-4 above.
Took the bot back.
Hi is there any difference between the D5 Neato because currently on Amazon they seem to have the same spec of battery and swirl pick up ? Just a quick question if you know the answer thank you
For anyone watching this in Europe or at least Germany, Google Assistant Voice control is not working there with Neato Robots, support confirmed that it is not available in Germany and there are currently no plans to support Google Assistant for the German market.
Very sad, apparently Alexa works though but I don’t own Alexa.
Total bullshit mine died after 9 months and after sales is totally absent then it just finished in the garbage can totally stupid
Neatos are straight up garbage, mine broke within the first year and support did not fix it. Asked me to pay for new batteries and I did and they sent batteries that dont fit. Dont buy, terrible product with terrible support.
Ahh.. this is British English! Its sound is beautiful!
They have the D10 D9 and DO now. Just saying
