SeekerNeato D8
The Neato D8 is a great choice for cleaning bare floors. It easily clears pet hair and small debris like rice without much of an issue, though it struggles a little with bulky material like cereal. It's impressively well-built and not overly difficult to maintain either. While its battery life is shorter than some other models, it should still provide a long enough runtime to clean most spaces. Unfortunately, it incurs quite a few recurring costs and can occasionally get stuck on obstructions like rug tassels.

Product details
- The Neato D8 has 100 minutes of runtime and can cover up to 750 square feet on a single charge, but if your robot needs more time, it it can also auto-recharge and resume to finish the job. Neato works smarter so your floors get cleaned faster..Runtime : 100 minutes
- Neato's D-shape design reaches dirt where round robots can't—in corners and along walls with its LaserSmart LIDAR technology, the same technology used in self-driving vehicles, to map and navigate your home with precision, leaving your carpets with those satisfying straight vacuum lines.
- Clean with a Spiral Combo Brush that’s up to 70% bigger than those round robots. It’s effective on any surface—hardwood, carpet or tile—so it’s great for any home. Neato’s large dirt bin at 0.7 liters means less frequent emptying
- Control your robot remotely through the MyNeato app. Schedule cleaning with Routines and create virtual No-Go Zones to define areas you want your robot to avoid.
- For those extra tough areas, just shift into Turbo mode for a deep, thorough clean with extra pickup. It increases suction and speeds up the Spiral Combo Brush, getting into every last crack and crevice—Neato D8 offers 20% greater dirt pickup than D3 & D5 (tested in internal labs).
- The high-performance filter is designed to trap the stuff that makes us sneeze and itch, capturing up to 99% of allergens.

The Neato D8 robot vacuum does a thorough job of collecting dust, debris, and pet hair from hard floors and carpet, especially in corners, but similarly priced competitors offer more functionality.

The Neato D8 is the most affordable of Neato’s latest range of robot vacuums and is designed for smaller homes with its 100-minute battery life. It utilizes a lidar to map your space and a user-friendly app allows you to create no-go zones and schedule cleaning at a time to suit you. It lacks the ability to map more than one floor though and sometimes tries to climb onto low furniture and ledges.
