iRobot Roomba i7+ vs Neato Robotics D4 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
The Roomba i7+ robot vacuum cleaner differs a few points from the Neato Robotics D4. Let's go into the differences in detail.
release date (release)
Of course, the age of the two vacuum cleaner robots is interesting for comparison. After all, technology changes over time. The two products are from two consecutive years. The iRobot Roomba i7+ was launched in the year 2019. Thus, the Neato Robotics D4 is older with the year of release 2018.
Which robot vacuum cleaner is falcher?
When it comes to the technical specifications of a robot vacuum cleaner, height is especially important. The height of the vacuum robot is interesting in comparison. At 9.3 cm, the iRobot Roomba i7+ is built more hawkishly and thus performs better. The flatter the robot is, the better it can clean under cabinets, the couch or other furniture. The Neato Robotics D4 is higher with a device height of 9.96 cm.
Does the battery performance differ?
The battery life is identical for both units with 1,3 hours. The longer the battery life, the longer the robot vacuum can clean at a stretch without having to return to its charging station. If you have many square meters, a longer battery life is always better. Thus, neither the iRobot Roomba i7+, nor the Neato Robotics D4 is the winner here. The charge time is less for the iRobot Roomba i7+ with only 1,5 hours than for the D4 with 1,6 hours.
What can the apps do?
Numerous vacuum robots can now be programmed and also controlled via apps. Adjustable are, for example, premises, maps as well as running times. Some suction robots can then be started conveniently on the go. For both vacuum robots, the iRobot Roomba i7+ and the Neato Robotics D4, there is an App. The two vacuum robots are addressed and programmed with different apps. The app for the iRobot Roomba i7+ is called iRobot HOME. The name for the app of the Neato Robotics D4 was Neato Robotics. Both vacuum robots allow zone cleaning via the app. Thus, only certain areas are cleaned without having to set up additional obstacles.
Voice control
Many robotic vacuum cleaners can now be controlled by voice assistants, allowing for convenient operation.
The two vacuum robots can be operated with Amazon's Alexa voice control. Both the iRobot Roomba i7+ and the Neato Robotics D4 are controllable via Google's voice assistants (Google Assistant).
Is there a wipe function?
In addition to the pure suction function, some vacuum robots also have an integrated wiping function. This combines two devices in one and the cleaning performance is significantly increased - not to mention the time saved. The models are then called suction-wiping robots.
Unfortunately, the two devices do not have an integrated mopping function. This is a disadvantage compared to other vacuum robots.
Which vacuum motor has the larger collection tank?
The dust chamber of the iRobot Roomba i7+ with 400 ml is smaller than that of the Neato Robotics D4 with 700 ml. The larger the dirt collection bin, the less frequently it needs to be emptied. So the larger capacity in the dust bin is an advantage for the Neato Robotics D4.
For the iRobot Roomba i7+* there is an additional suction station for self-drainage. This empties the collection container, which means you have to remove the dirt less often. There is no suction station for the Neato Robotics D4.
