In September of 2020 Neato Robotics released a video about their Next Generation of Premium Robot Vacuum series. Neato D8 – Neato D9 – Neato D10. After great success of Neato D7 , our expectations got higher and higher day by day. And its finally here! With ‘The clear choice for clean’ motto, Neato D8 is now available on market. When we take a first look at D8, Neato’s signature D-shape design and unique ‘Indigo’ color choice, proves that Neato also cares appearance beside functionality. Of course good looking is not enough for a Robot Vacuum. We are sure Neato is aiming top ranks with their New Generation Robot Vacuum Series. Lidar LaserSmart Technology, ‘No-go lines’, Multi-Stores Plan memory and Ultra Performance Filters (HEPA) features are now default specs after D6 and D7 . Neato also improves the robots suction mechanisms and airflow performances with every model. D8 has maximum airflow performance by far among Neato Robot Vacuums. It’s small battery capacity and short runtime duration (100 minutes) shows that D8 is more convenient for smaller homes and apartments. On the other hand other robot vacuum models in New Generation of Neato, Neato D9 with 120 minutes runtime and Neato D10 with 150 minutes runtime will be available in the next months for whom have higher expactations and deep pockets!
