Product details
- The Neato D9 has 200 minutes of runtime and can cover up to 1,600 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.
- 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.
- Customize your floor plan with Zones that define areas to clean more frequently—or No-Go Zones to identify areas to avoid (like a child's play area or pet food bowls)
- Clean with a Helix Multi-Surface Brush that’s up to 70% bigger than those round robots and 50% quieter on hard surfaces. It’s effective on any surface—hardwood, carpet or tile—so it’s great for any home. Neato’s industry-leading dirt bin, at 0.7 liters, means less frequent emptying.
- Go beyond Eco and use Turbo mode for a deeper clean—Neato D9 offers 40% greater dirt pickup than D3 & D5 (tested in internal labs).

The Neato D9 is a good robot vacuum that’s held back by a mediocre app.

The Neato D9 is the mid-range robot vacuum on offer from this established brand. It can vacuum for up to 200 minutes and cover up to 1600 square feet / 149 square meters before it needs a recharge. It’s dirt collection is good and there’s an accompanying app which will display your floor plan as mapped by the onboard lidar and allow you to draw no-go zones. However, it’s not without its quirks.
