Third-party reviews

What customers like about Neato Robotics D450

  • D-shape design effectively cleans edges, corners, and along walls better than round models
  • LaserSmart technology accurately maps the home and navigates logically in straight lines
  • Excellent at picking up pet hair, dust, and dirt with large brush and solid cleaning performance
  • App allows for convenient features like scheduling and virtual No-Go lines

What customers don't like about Neato Robotics D450

  • Can be quite loud while operating
  • Main brush can still get tangled in longer human hair
  • Small wheels mean it may struggle to climb over higher thresholds or certain thick rugs
  • Battery life is relatively short (around 60 to 75 minutes per charge)
  • Can occasionally exhibit issues with the dustbin or collect less dirt on carpets compared to competitors

Verdict

The Neato Robotics D450 Premium Pet Edition is a mid-range robot vacuum featuring a signature D-shape design, an 11-inch wide front combo brush, and a large 700ml dustbin. Powered by LiDAR laser mapping, it navigates systematically in straight lines even in the dark and utilizes app-enabled virtual 'No-Go lines' for boundary control. Main advantages include its superior corner-cleaning capability, an airflow power reaching up to 17 CFM, and a Quick Boost feature that calculates exactly how much charge is needed to finish a job. However, notable drawbacks include its modest 75-minute battery runtime, elevated operational noise levels, lack of a physical side brush, and the critical risk of losing smart features due to the parent company's cloud service shutdown.
