Our Verdict

Neato Botvac D7

Neato D8

The Neato D8 and the Neato Botvac D7 each have their advantages, so one may suit you better depending on your needs. Both vacuums are similar in maneuverability, ease of maintenance, recurring costs, and overall dimensions, but there are a few small differences. The D8 delivers better performance on high-pile carpets and takes much less time to recharge, though its maximum battery life is significantly less than that of the D7. The D7 also delivers superior performance on low-pile carpets.
