This worked well in testing, though No Go lines are only followed when you start your cleaning sessions from the app. From there, you can save your floor plan and draw red lines to indicate areas where the robot shouldn't go. The bot will map your entire home after an initial diagnostic run. While the D7 comes with the aforementioned magnetic boundary tape, you can also set No Go lines in the app. For Spot mode, you can designate a specified cleaning radius.įrom the main screen, you can also tap the three-bar icon in the top left to access scheduling and a new feature called My Floor Plan. You can also opt for Extra Care navigation, which is gentler than the default mode. Under the House mode, you can choose between Eco and Turbo cleaning profiles-the former is a quieter, longer-lasting run, while the latter is more powerful.
The cleaning options screen lets you toggle between House, Spot, and Manual cleaning modes. You'll also find a button to bring up a screen for cleaning options. To the bottom right is a small square grid that brings up your cleaning history with detailed maps and statistics for your past 20 cleaning sessions. To the bottom left you'll find a battery indicator you can tap to see how much power is left. The main screen now displays the name of your robot and its current status. Neato's app has been redesigned since we reviewed the Botvac D5 Connected, making it cleaner and more intuitive. From there, you'll be guided through the process of pairing the vacuum with your Wi-Fi network it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. All you have to do is download the Neato app for Android or iOS. You don't have to physically attach any parts or brushes, as it comes pre-assembled.
