The new Wi-Fi enabled Neato Botvac Connected™ robot vacuum solves common cleaning problems:  you have unexpected company on their way to your not-so-pristine-clean house, pets whose shedding require daily vacuuming, busy lives that leave little time for pushing a vacuum.

Botvac Connected -- Neato’s best cleaning and smartest robot -- can thoroughly clean all the floors in a house whether the user is at home or not.

With the Neato app for iOS and Android devices, you can start, stop, schedule and monitor Botvac Connected from anywhere.  And, when at home, you can also use the Neato app to manually control or drive the robot, actively directing its cleaning path.

Neato’s navigation is legendary.  Starting in 2010, Neato is the first and only company to bring 3 generations of smart-navigating robots vacuums to consumers.  Combining the same technology Google uses in its self-driving car (SLAM) and Neato’s own patented laser-scanning system, Neato robots continuously map a room in real time while calculating the most efficient cleaning path.  Moving in methodical straight lines instead of bouncing randomly around a room, the robot moves from room to room.  Neato knows when to return to its base for recharging – plus it is smart enough to return to the exact spot where it left off to finish the job.  In total, the Neato Botvac Connected can clean a 5000 square foot home during a full cleaning cycle which consists of 3 cleaning runs and 2 recharges.

With its powerful vacuum system and a long-lasting high capacity Lithium Ion battery, Botvac Connected cleans twice the area in the same amount of time compared to random round robots and has 50-100% greater airflow than other smart navigating robots.

Neato Botvac Connected Key Benefits

Anytime/anywhere vacuuming:  When Botvac Connected is paired with a home Wi-Fi network and the Neato app, you can use the Neato app (iOS and Android apps available) to:

Remotely set up your robot to clean seven days a week

Start a full house or spot clean

Set Eco or Turbo mode each time you clean and also when scheduling the robot

Stop or pause the robot or send the robot back to its charge base

Control the robot manually and “drive” the robot forward, backward, left or right to pick up dust and debris NOTE: The robot and app both need to be connected to the home network for this feature.

Get instant notifications when your robot is done cleaning

Get instant notifications if your robot needs help

Smart navigation, even in rooms with little to no light:  Neato BotvisionTM can “see” in the dark, unlike camera-based robots which have challenges operating in dark rooms.

High capacity Lithium Ion battery:  Improves the robot vacuuming experience with increased run times and a longer life span than a conventional Ni-MH battery.

Eco and Turbo modes:  Users can choose between Eco mode and Turbo mode.  Eco mode offers a longer, quieter energy saving clean and runtime up to 120 minutes.  Turbo mode delivers a super-powered cleaning with maximum pickup and runtime up to 90 minutes.

Ultra Performance Filter: Botvac Connected sports a new filter that captures up to twice the small particles (0.3 microns) compared to competitors.  The new filter design makes it easy to pop out when emptying the dirt bin, and a new mesh screen keeps dirt and hair from accumulating on the filter, making it easier to clean and longer lasting.

Cleans Close to Walls and into Corners:  Neato’s D-shape allows for a front brush design with a 50% bigger brush than other round robots. Gets closer to walls and into corners—and makes room for Neato’s extra-large dirt bin.
