Neato Botvac D4 Connected

Like all vacuums in Neato's arsenal, the D4 Connected sports the company's signature D shape.

Top

The top of the vacuum has an attractive textured look.

Dustbin

The top-loading dustbin is on the small side, but easier to remove than on earlier models.

Bottom

Flip the D4 over and you'll find a wide combo roller brush, two main treads, and swivel wheels.

Laser Navigation

The front turret houses the Neato's excellent laser navigation system.

Battery

Battery life is on the short side at 75 minutes, but the D4 also features a Quick Boost charging feature. Instead of waiting the full charge time, it will resume cleaning once it's charged just enough to finish the session.
