The famous American company Neato Robotics was one of the first cleaning robots in the Botvac "D" line to create the D75 model. This vacuum cleaner is quite advanced, equipped with advanced functionality and is designed for cleaning dry debris, hair and wool from any type of surface. In the review, we will consider the principle of operation and the capabilities of the device.
Appearance
The robot has an unusual shape, which compares favorably with other models. It resembles the letter D, with a straight front and a semicircular back. The device measures 33.5x32.1 cm. Its height is rather large - 10 cm. It weighs 4.1 kg. Neato Botvac D75 is available in white. At the top is the touchscreen, control panel and lidar for navigation. The side section at the front has a mechanical bumper with a built-in infrared obstacle sensor. Equipped with optical sensors, it helps it detect changes in altitude. There is also an air outlet here. On the bottom of the device there are:
- 2 driving side wheels;
- 2 rollers responsible for the turns, which are located at the back;
- one brush on the side;
- the main rotating brush above the suction opening is located across the entire width at the front of the vacuum cleaner, in contrast to the central location typical of most appliances;
- battery compartment;
- contacts for registration at the base.
Specifications
The robot has the following characteristics:
- cleans on a single charge: up to 70 sq.m;
- dust collection method: fine filter;
- garbage tank capacity: 0.7 l;
- work programs: 2;
- suction power: 120 W;
- power consumption: 34 W;
- the possibility of using magnetic tape;
- installation on the base: auto;
- noise: 70 dB.
The Neato Botvac D75 is powered by a 3600 mAh Ni-MH battery and provides 90 minutes of autonomous cleaning. It takes 360 minutes to charge.
Functionality
Despite its considerable size, it has good maneuverability and maneuverability due to its unusual shape. The Neato Botvac D75 Side Brush directs dust to the central spiral brush, which is protected from hair wrap. It, due to its size (length 28 cm) and low fit, cleans a fairly wide area of the surface, which is unusual for many robots.
Spin Flow technology allows the device to quickly clean all kinds of dirt on any surface, including low-pile carpets. The improved, powerful suction capacity of the device also plays an important role in this process. A volumetric dust collector equipped with a high-quality filter frees the air from harmful substances and allergens. All this together allows the robot to efficiently and efficiently perform its work on one of the programs:
- Automatic. It starts with cleaning around the perimeter, followed by a transition to the middle of the room. Continues until the entire room is cleared.
- Local. Cleaning a separate area with heavy contamination.
The device is controlled via touch switches. Intelligent navigation is provided by laser scanning in real time. A special device - lidar - is responsible for this function. The patented Botvision and LaserSmart technologies provide an assessment of the parameters of the room, drawing up a route of movement.They provide a unique opportunity for clear and orderly movement and good orientation. If during the operation of the device there are any changes in the interior, the robot is immediately rebuilt and continues to move along a different trajectory.
To delimit the area where the vacuum cleaner cannot enter, magnetic tape is used. On the display, you can program the order of work by day, the start time and the selected mode. At the end of the work, he himself comes to the station, as well as when the charge level drops. After recharging, he returns to where he left from and finishes cleaning the floor.
Equipment
The box from the manufacturer has a sticker from Clever & Clean, which represents Neato products in Russia. It includes the following subjects:
- robot;
- base;
- filter;
- battery power;
- side brush;
- central brush;
- magnetic tape;
- instruction.
Advantages and disadvantages
Due to its equipment, the Neato Botvac D75 has many advantages:
- a peculiar shape that allows you to collect dust in any place;
- large volume of dust collector;
- high-quality air filtration (getting rid of allergens);
- wide main brush covering a large area;
- high suction power;
- well-thought-out laser navigation that allows you to assess the premises and build the best route;
- setting a daily cleaning schedule;
- highly effective and high-quality cleaning of any floor covering.
Minuses:
- only two modes of operation;
- one side brush;
- Ni-MH battery;
- no remote control methods;
- noisy work;
- poor equipment;
- difficult to select settings (no Russian language).
Neato Botvac D75 is a little expensive - 37,500 rubles. It is due to the availability of high-quality navigation systems and lidar. But a number of shortcomings prevent it from taking the place of the leader among analogs in the premium segment.
