This review examines the Neatsvor S700 robot vacuum cleaner. Its price at the time of writing is between $185 and $240. For this price, the manufacturer offers a robot with a self-cleaning station, lidar for navigation, 6000 Pa of suction power, and a wet mopping function. Overall, it's a decent set of features for the price. Below, I'll test the Neatsvor S700 in detail, highlight its pros and cons based on the test results, and then express my opinion. So, let's get started!

Equipment

The robot vacuum cleaner arrived in a branded box like this:

In addition to the robot and station itself, the delivery kit includes:

1. Spare microfiber cloth.
2. Two spare side brushes.
3. Four spare bags for the station.
4. Robot cleaning tool.
5. Spare HEPA filter.
6. Remote control.
7. Documentation for the robot with translation into Russian.

This model comes with a good set of accessories. All spare parts are included for the first few days of using the robot.

Appearance

Now let's take a look at the Neatsvor S700's design. Let's start with the robot itself. It's round and comes in white. The body stands approximately 10 cm above the floor.

Wall sensors are mounted on both sides of the bumper. In the center are sensors for detecting large obstacles in the robot's path.

A lidar sensor is responsible for navigation. It is equipped with a spring-loaded cover that prevents the robot from getting stuck under furniture. Two mechanical control buttons are located next to the lidar sensor.

The dust container and water tank, combined in a single housing, are removed from the rear of the robot. The dust container holds 300 ml. The filtration system includes a HEPA filter and mesh. The water tank holds 300 ml and is equipped with a pump for electronically controlling the amount of liquid delivered to the cleaning cloth.

A holder with a napkin is attached to the bottom of the container, secured with Velcro and a special groove.

The robot's underside is equipped with three fall protection sensors and a carpet detection sensor. It also has two side brushes, three-beam and quick-release.

The central brush unit is non-floating. Only the scraper behind the brush moves. The turbo brush has bristles and petals. One side can be removed to remove tangled hair and fur.

The station charges the Neatsvor S700 and allows it to empty itself of debris. The standard dust bag is located under the top cover.

The station itself is low but deep, which I don't think is ideal, as the robot takes up a lot of space. It requires a depth of approximately 60 cm. Furthermore, there's no ramp underneath the robot to prevent a wet cloth from coming into contact with the floor while it's charging.

All the pros and cons of the design will be discussed during the final review. Let's move on!

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of the Neatsvor S700, as stated by the manufacturer:

• Li-Ion battery 5100 mAh.
• Suction power up to 6000 Pa.
• Station power: 550 W.
• Battery life up to 180 min.
• Dust collector 300 ml.
• Water tank 300 ml.
• Garbage bag: 2.5 l.
• Obstacle clearance up to 2 cm.
• Robot dimensions: 330*100 mm.
• Station dimensions (W*H*D): 295*159*230 mm.

There are virtually no differences from the previously released S600 model. The station is now less powerful and its dimensions have been changed. Otherwise, everything is on par with its predecessor and other robot vacuums in this price range.

Functional capabilities

Let's move on to an overview of the Neatsvor S700's features. The robot vacuum is controlled via the proprietary Neatsvor Home mobile app. It's available in Russian.

This model boasts the following functions:

• Self-cleaning of the dust collector at the station.
• Saving multiple cleaning maps in memory.
• Automatic zoning of premises into rooms.
• Selecting areas and rooms for cleaning.
• Virtual walls and no-go zones (and for wet cleaning mode).
• Suction power adjustment.
• Adjusting the degree of wetting of the napkin.
• User mode.
• Cleaning log.
• Setting up cleaning according to a schedule.
• Voice notifications in Russian.
• Automatic power increase on carpet.
• Carpet bypass during wet cleaning.

It's great that they even implemented a custom mode, which allows you to customize cleaning parameters for each room.

Some functions are also duplicated on the remote control. You can use it to control the robot without a Wi-Fi connection. The remote control includes functions such as starting the cleaning process, forcing the robot to return to the base, manual control, start/pause, smart cleaning mode, spot cleaning, and adjusting the water flow level and suction power.

Testing

A detailed video review with all tests has already been prepared and published on the channel:

And finally, let's move on to the tests. First, we tested the Neatsvor S700's navigation in a room with obstacles. The robot first swept around a box and one table leg, then began to navigate the perimeter and got stuck on a dryer leg, causing an error. I restarted it through the app and managed to escape the trap. Afterward, the robot began cleaning the entire accessible area in a serpentine pattern and got stuck again on the dryer leg, this time mistaking it for a rug. I had to remove the cleaning cloth holder to complete the test. The robot swept the remaining table legs and returned to the station. The mirror introduced an error in the map, but this is a problem with most lidar robots, and the robot's maneuverability is not so good.

When it comes to navigating within the home, the Neatsvor S700 navigates room by room, first along the perimeter, then in a serpentine pattern. Cleaning speed is high, and there are no uncleaned areas. This test was passed.

Passing under low furniture

I also tested whether the robot can fit under furniture within 10 cm of a gap. Yes, it can do this without any problem. The test was successful.

Autonomy

I also tested how long the battery lasted when running the robot at maximum power with wet cleaning enabled. It lasted 45 minutes, cleaning almost 40 square meters of usable space. In reality, that's just over the equivalent of cleaning a two-bedroom apartment of 70 square meters once. There's also a mode to resume cleaning after recharging at the charging station. In any case, the robot's battery life is poor. The battery drains quickly at maximum power.

Suction power

One of the most important tests was to check the robot's actual suction power. In Quiet mode, the robot was able to partially remove debris from a 2 mm gap. In Low mode, it cleaned a 2 mm gap better. In the mode that the brand called "Inside," the robot partially cleaned a 4 mm gap. And in Turbo mode, it was able to clean a 4 mm gap better.

So I can say that the robot vacuum cleaner in question has slightly increased suction power, like the previously released S600 model, but the result is still closer to the standard than to powerful robot vacuum cleaners.

Dry cleaning

The quality of debris collection on laminate floors is good. Various types of debris were collected from the rack. The only issue is that cat litter pellets sometimes block the turbo brush. Otherwise, only the corners remain unswept, which is a weak point for most round robots. We can see hair and fur tangled around the turbo brush, which is quite expected.

Carpet cleaning

The robot cleans low-pile carpets without any problems. On medium-pile carpets, cleaning performance is lower—large particles of debris, such as pet food, get trapped in the pile, and the robot is unable to pick them up. This is likely due to the non-floating center brush unit and the low power level. Another issue is that the center brush gets stuck in the medium pile at maximum power. I had to switch to "Inside" mode to finish the test.

Self-cleaning

After the dirty tests, I ran the self-cleaning program and saw that the station had accomplished its task. Almost all the debris was emptied from the dust collector into a bag inside the station.

Wet cleaning

Although robots without a cloth washing station are still a primitive wet cleaning option by 2025 standards, given the robot's price, the lack of such a station is logical. The implemented wet cleaning is suitable for light dirt removal and gentle wiping of floors from dust that the central brush doesn't capture.

Since the napkin does not extend to the edge of the body, the blind zone near the baseboard is about 6 cm.

Wet cleaning and carpets

As for wet cleaning on carpets, the NEATSVOR S700 recognizes carpets and avoids them during wet cleaning, unlike the smaller S600 model. You can also further protect carpets from getting wet or accidentally being run over by the robot using dedicated no-go zones for wet cleaning.

Obstacle clearance

This model still has issues with maneuverability. The robot has great difficulty crossing a 2 cm threshold.

Driving on black surfaces

But the robot is not afraid of black carpets, and this is another improvement compared to its predecessor, the S600.

Noise level

As for the noise level, it ranges from 63.5 to 79 dB, depending on the selected operating mode. Yes, this is a noisy robot vacuum, despite its slightly increased power. The station's noise level during self-cleaning reaches up to 84 dB, which is also on the higher side.

Personal opinion

The Neatsvor S700 robot vacuum cleaner has been reviewed and tested. our evaluation system he managed to gain 114 points, while S600 model It scored only 98 points. The result is standard for this robot's price and capabilities, and is a noticeable slight improvement over the updated model.

Overall rating of tested robot vacuum cleaners: https://robovac.washerhouse.com/en/rejtingi/robovac-obshhij-rejting-robotov-pylesosov-robo.html.

I'll highlight the pros and cons I've discovered, and then express my own opinion of the robot. I liked the following:

1. Availability of a self-cleaning station.
2. Budget-friendly price for a lidar self-cleaning robot.
3. The robot is equipped with spare consumables.
4. It can be controlled not only through the proprietary app, but also with a remote control, which for some may be a more convenient control option.
5. Good quality dry cleaning on laminate and carpet.
6. Slightly increased suction power.
7. The app's functionality allows you to flexibly customize cleaning parameters.
8. Not afraid of black carpets.

As for the disadvantages, there are also quite a few of them:

1. High noise level during operation.
2. Poor obstacle clearance.
3. Weak battery life at maximum power.
4. The central brush gets blocked by large debris and on fluffy carpets when the maximum power is turned on.
5. There are problems with passage through the dryer legs and 2 cm thresholds.
6. The robot at the station takes up more space than its counterparts.

Ultimately, I can say that, given the price, some of the complaints are typical of budget robots, but there are also some specific ones. In any case, it's a slight improvement over its predecessor. It now features carpet and wall sensors, the ability to vacuum and mop simultaneously, and a remote control as an alternative control option. Plus, the robot has improved its ability to navigate thresholds slightly better and is no longer afraid of black carpets.

So, while there are some nuances, the price is lower than most well-known robots with a standard charging base. And here you get self-cleaning, practically the same functionality, and good navigation. So, if you're on a budget and the robot interests you despite all the nuances, you might want to consider it. In my opinion, it's suitable for cleaning small areas without carpets, or with low-pile carpets.

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping, everyone. Bye!
