When it gets stuck or trapped, the robot can lift at the back or front to free itself. The leading edge is flat and wide, so where some round robots might be able to partially vacuum into a small space before their widest part stops them reaching further, the D shape means this robot leads with its widest edge, so has less chance of even partially reaching into tight spots. The issue is partially that the robot starts to turn out of the corner as it approaches it, therefore it doesn’t utilize its shape and reach fully into the corner. Despite the iconic D shape design, corner cleaning was not great, and we’ve seen better corner cleaning from round robots. It tackled the vacuuming with a methodical pattern that ensured no areas were missed. The Neato D9 impressed us with good dirt pick up on the majority of the floor. Transitions well between area rugs and hard floor.The filter needs replacing every one to two months and the spiral combo brush should be replaced every six to eight months. There’s not much else in the box, but you do get two spare filters and a replacement spiral combo brush as well as a brush cleaning tool. On top of the robot, there’s just a play button, so you can start cleaning directly from the robot, but all other features, including suction levels and scheduling, are accessed via the app.Ī rotating side brush spins to collect dust and debris from along the side of the rooms and attaches with a magnet for easy replacement. The bin itself lifts out of the top of the robot and the capacity is an industry-leading size, according to Neato. The filter can be found in the 24.6 oz/ 0.7 liter dirt bin and has to be removed to empty out the dirt. The ultra-performance filter captures 99.5% of allergens and has a mesh surface that makes it easy to clean. It has to be positioned with 30cm/ 1 ft of space all around it to allow the robot to find it easily, but thankfully it’s not too big so won’t dominate a space. The charging dock is neat, compact and easy to move around as we recommend later in this review. And if you’re planning on carrying it between floors, at 8.07 pound s/ 3.7kg it’s not too heavy to lift. It also allows space for an 11 inch/ 28cm spiral combo brush (the main brush) which Neato claims is up to 70% wider than other round robots on the market, enabling it to cover the maximum floor space in fewer passes. In contrast to most other round robot vacuums, the D shape design of Neato vacuums makes them instantly recognizable.
