Our Impression: Neato Botvac D80 Robot Vacuum For Pets And Allergies
Summary
Best model for smaller families that have large amounts of interior spaces.
Great for:
● Carpet
● Hardwood floors
● Tile and vinyl floors
Avoid if:
You own a small home or apartment and do not need a deep cleaning vacuum.
Overall Impression
The D80 navigates across deep pile carpeting and hardwood floor with ease, unlike many other models.
Its powerful motor, reliability, and superb navigation system make this one of the top choices of robotic vacuums on the market.
Cleaning Ability
The Neato Botvac D80 combines a powerful suction with precise cleaning brushes to leave your floors very clean.
It will pick up crumbs, dirt, dust bunnies, and pet hair.
The D-shape design helps it get into even the toughest corners.
Navigation
The Neato Botvac D80 uses a patented Laser Smart navigation technology.
This sets the device on a course to carefully clean each area of a room instead of wandering aimlessly around.
The bot will scan the room, note objects, and then determine what the most efficient path should be.
Automation & Scheduling
The D80 has an auto-schedule display screen as well as controls that can be used to set up a schedule that will work for you.
If you want a quick spot clean or a multi-room clean that you have not scheduled, just push the start button and the robot will start a cleaning job that you select.
What It Misses
The D80 has difficulty with darker colored flooring.
In addition, the LCD screen is rather small, which makes it difficult to see and to program through.
Maintenance
In order to keep your Botvac D80 running as efficiently as possible, you will want to make sure that you empty the dirt bin after each cleaning.
Also clean the filter regularly by tapping it on the side of a trash can to get rid of excess debris.
The brushes need to be cleaned regularly, too. They pop out easily and can be brushed off and returned to the device.
