Appearance overview

The Neato Botvac Connected robot vacuum cleaner's appearance is distinct from other manufacturers' robots: as seen in the photo, it's shaped like the letter D. This shape and its high maneuverability, despite its relatively large dimensions, make it ideal for cleaning rooms, including hard-to-reach areas like corners and under furniture.

When developing the Connected model, engineers redesigned the design. Furthermore, the developers also addressed all the shortcomings of previous models and made a number of significant changes to the device's technical specifications and functionality. We'll discuss these further.

Functional capabilities

The Neato Botvak Connected robot vacuum cleaner offers a wide range of functions. These capabilities are defined by the wide range of tasks it performs when cleaning a room. This model can clean all types of flooring and easily handles pet hair, both short and long.

The main functions of the robot:

• The Connected model is one of the most powerful models available today. It features a 4200 mAh lithium-ion battery.
• A high-power suction system and precision brushes enable this robotic vacuum cleaner to deliver high-quality cleaning results. Only two models in this class Neato Botvac D85 and Connected have a record suction power of 120 watts.
• This robot model features a Turbo function to provide superior suction power. When this function is engaged, the vacuum cleaner operates at maximum power. Additionally, the device features a reduced-power Eco mode, which conserves battery life and maximizes cleaning coverage without recharging. In this mode, the device maintains cleaning performance while significantly reducing noise levels.
• The unique shape of the device and CornerClever technology make it possible to collect dust in hard-to-reach areas of the room.
• Vacuum filtration allows for increased cleaning efficiency of floor coverings.
• Thanks to its special rotating, combined petal-bristle brush with an enlarged size, the robot vacuum cleaner easily picks up pet hair and fur from floors and carpets, making it ideal for pet owners and people with allergies.
• The original Ultra Performance HEPA filter with an extended service life traps particles down to 0.3 microns in size, significantly exceeding the efficiency of a conventional filter.
• The latest room mapping technology and laser navigation allow the Neato Botvac Connected robot to navigate perfectly, reducing cleaning time without compromising cleaning quality.
• Thanks to a significant number of built-in sensors, the vacuum cleaner detects height differences and is able to avoid falling down stairs, while a rangefinder prevents collisions with furniture.
• The presence of a liquid crystal display allows you to set the device's cleaning schedule for a week, with the time and mode set.
• Two operating modes: automatic – for the entire room, and local – used when cleaning specific areas.
• This model features Wi-Fi internet connectivity. This feature allows you to control the Neato Botvac Connected robot vacuum cleaner using your mobile phone.
• Can be controlled via smartwatches and voice assistants Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Neato Chatbot.

2. The new model can be controlled via a mobile app.
3. Eco mode makes the robot vacuum cleaner quieter.
4. The Neato Botvac Connected features a two-pass spot cleaning mode for more effective cleaning of your floors.
5. The new robot vacuum cleaner has a battery capacity of 4200 mAh, while the Botvac D85 has 3600 mAh.

Operating instructions

Before using your robot vacuum for the first time, we recommend carefully reading the user manual. Unfortunately, it's quite difficult to find a Russian-language manual online, so we recommend viewing the manual for the Neato Botvac D85 robot, which is virtually identical to the Connected. You can download the Russian-language manual by following this link:Neato Botvac D85 manual.
