month mostly because the edge sweeping brush was no longer working and it was getting stuck under my recliner chairs and sometimes got lost and couldn't make it back home. Having said that, there were nice features of the Roomba 960 that I really liked vs this Neato D3. But for some perspective, I paid $427.41 MORE for the iRobot (I bought the 3 year protection plan with each). So even though I liked some of the features, the $427.41 back in my pocket was worth the few things I could live without. I put a list below.

Neato D3 Connected vs iRobot Roomba 960
- Both work with Alexa and Google Assistant.
- Both recharge and resume cleaning.
- This Neato D3 model doesn't have the corner sweeping brush and the Roomba did - I liked that feature when it was working
- The time to clean seemed the same for both, I don't think one was faster than the other. It does take about 2 - 3 charges to clean my whole house with one pass.
- The Neato pattern for cleaning goes room to room where the Roomba has a diagonal pattern so sometimes it went into a room several times where Neato goes into a room and finishes before leaving.
- The Roomba was far easier to empty bin than Neato and because I have to fight with the door on the Neato, it sometimes makes a mess over my trash can. The filter is also made of this weird cotton like fabric and everything sticks to it and I can't brush it off. I have to pull it off with my fingers. I'm hoping the replacement filters are easier to clean (they appear to be the accordian style, which I think will help).
- The SELF-CLEANING brushes on the Roomba are far easier to get to then the Neato. Unlike Neato you need a special comb with built in cutter (I have to order that because it didn't come as an accessory).
- The Roomba came with extra corner brush, extra filter and the virtual wall barrier. The Neato came with no extras.
- The virtual wall barrier of the Roomba was great. It could be an invisible wall barrier or circular area for places like pet dishes. This was far easier than pulling out a magnetic barrier that you have to cut and/or unroll and roll up to use each time with the Neato.
- The suction power of the Roomba seemed slightly better, but both pick up an incredible amount of dust, cat hair, etc. Even when I think my floor is spotless!
- Both have apps that connect via wifi. What I like about Neato is it sends me notifications of if it is stuck, when it's done cleaning and a link to click the map of the area it cleaned. The Roomba 960 app doesn't send messages, you can see the map, but you actually have to go to the app and navigate to that place in the app.
- Both apps let you schedule time and days.
- The Roomba app gives you the ability to control 1 pass or 2 pass cleanings. The Neato only does one pass. Easily overcome if you want two passes, just set the schedule to do twice in one day.
- The Roomba has the ability to sense if there is more dirt in a specific place and clean more efficiently.
- The Neato has the ability to spot clean an area and the Roomba 960 did not have that feature. I would have to block off the area if I just wanted a small area.
- The Roomba has a reduced power standby mode. I'm not sure how much extra power Neato is using for one little green light, but it is a feature I guess I should mention.
- Both have got lost a few a times and couldn't return to base. Equally as much, but not often.
- Both have got stuck and I've had to free them, but with the Neato at least I know it's stuck because I get the text message. And the Neato is slightly taller than the Roomba so it doesn't get stuck under my rocking recliners because it's too high to get under there. The Roomba was stuck every time, because she would go under and then the recliner would rock a little and that was it, stuck.

I hope helps anyone who is looking. For me, yes, I would like the corner sweeping brush, the ease of emptying the bin, cleaning the brushes and the virtual wall barrier. But the $427 difference for virtually equal cleaning results was much more important. I can deal with buying the few extra accessories and the small extra work I have to do. And not to forget that I like the spot clean feature and the texts telling me the status and link with cleaning map.

我在亚马逊上以令人难以置信的价格买了这个Neato D3。我不确定我是不是在正确的时间买的，还是这只是一时的失误，但一周后，我去订购了一些配件，这比在亚马逊上还贵了100美元。去年12月，我买了iRobot Roomba 960，一个月后我又退回去了，主要是因为刷子的边缘刷坏了，卡在了我的躺椅下面，有时还会出故障，运行不好。话虽如此，Roomba 960还是有一些很好的功能，和Neato 3相比，我真的还是比较喜欢Roomba 960。但从某种角度看，我为iRobot多花了427.41美元(我给每个iRobot买了3年维修保障)。因此，尽管我喜欢其中的一些功能，但花427.41美元还是要值得的。我在下面列了一个对比清单。    

Neato D3 Connected VS iRobot Roomba 960：

-两款都能与Alexa和谷歌助手兼容。 

-都能进行充电和清洁。 

- Neato D3型号没有配置角落扫刷，但Roomba有（我喜欢它工作时这个功能）

  -打扫的时间似乎是一样的，我不认为一个比另一个快。打扫我的整个房子需要进行2 - 3次充电。

  - Neato的清洁模式是房间到房间，Roomba有一个对角线模式，所以有时它进入房间几次，Neato进入房间并在离开前完成。  

- 再清空垃圾桶方面，Roomba比Neato更容易，因为我不得不自行处理Neato，所以有时它会把我的垃圾桶弄得一团糟。这个过滤器也是由这种奇怪的棉布制成的，就像布料一样，所有的东西都粘在上面，我刷不掉它。我必须用手指把它弄下来。我希望替换后的过滤器能更容易清洗(它们看起来是accordian 风格，我认为会有所帮助)。 

- Roomba上的自动清洁刷比Neato好用得多。不像Neato，你需要配备一个特殊的梳子与内置刀具(我不得不额外订购，因为它不是作为配件出售)。

  - Roomba配备了额外的角刷，额外的过滤器和虚拟墙屏障。但Neato没有。

  - Roomba的虚拟屏障非常棒。它可以是一个看不见的屏障，也可以是一个圆形的地方，就像宠物盘子。你必须卸下或展开或卷起来，Neato使用起来容易得多。

  - Roomba的吸力似乎稍好一些，但它们都吸收了大量的灰尘，猫毛等等。即使我认为我的地板是一尘不染的! 

-两者都有通过wifi连接的应用程序。我喜欢Neato的地方是，它会给我发送通知，告诉我它是否卡住了，在清理完毕后，它会发送一个链接，点击它清理过的区域的地图。Roomba 960应用程序不发送信息，你可以看到地图，但你必须去应用程序并导航到应用程序中的那个地方。 

-这两个应用程序都允许你安排时间和天数。

  - Roomba应用程序可以让你控制1次或2次清洁。Neato只有一次。如果你想要两次，只要把时间安排在一天内做两次就可以了。

  - Roomba能够感知到某个地方是否有更多的灰尘，并且能进行更有效的清洁。

  - Neato有能力识别清洁区域，而Roomba 960没有这个功能。如果我只想要清洁一个小区域，我就得把这个区域划分开。

  - Roomba有一个省电待机模式。我不确定Neato在一个小绿灯上使用了多少额外的能量，但我想我应该提到一下这个特性。

  -两个机器都有几次迷失了方向，无法回到基地。次数差不多是同样多，但不经常。

  -两个都卡住了，我不得不把它们弄出来，但至少我知道它卡住了，因为我收到了短信。Neato的高度比Roomba稍高，所以它不会卡在我的摇摆躺椅下面，太高了，就进不去。Roomba每次都被卡住了，因为它能进去，然后躺椅会晃动一点，就是这样，就被卡住了。  

  我希望我的评论能帮助到正在寻找帮助的人。对我来说，是的，我想要角落扫刷，方便清空的垃圾箱，清洁刷和虚拟屏障。但是，对于几乎相同的清洁效果，427美元的差别显得很重要。我可以买一些额外的配件去做我要做的额外工作。不要忘记，我喜欢地面清洁功能和用信息告诉我机器状态和连接到要清洁的区域的功能。  

rything. DO NOT BUY THE HOOVER ROGUE! Sorry, back to the Neato D3, I have only had it get stuck twice since setting it up, granted it has only run about 6 times. For the most part it cleans the entire house, there was one occasion where it missed a room. The Neato does a much better job of getting up close to walls, unlike the Roomba 690 which just likes to smash into things. The large cleaning brush on the Neato robots is excellent, some hair gets tangled, but if you clean it every other week you should be fine. My biggest concern with the Neato D3 is how much Neato has cut corners. The D3 has a tiny battery compared to the other robots, mine has to recharge at least once, sometimes twice before finishing cleaning. Here is where is shines though, it ALWAYS picks right back up where it left off. Something the Hoover Rogue says it will do, but doesn't and something that the Roomba 690 can't even do. One consideration is that you can purchase the replacement battery on Amazon which is a higher capacity battery. The other issue I have with the Neato D3 is that they ship the robot with a WORTHLESS air filter. After about 15 minutes of cleaning it is completely full of dust and debris and the cleaning power of the robot completely diminishes. Thankfully you can buy the nicer High Performance and Ultra High Performance filters granted they are somewhat expensive. They work a thousand times better, I would highly recommend the upgraded ones. The Neato line of robots have a great map that displays in the application after the robot is done cleaning, I would consider it on-par with the Roomba 980 maps. One thing that I would like to see if more details about cleaning (at what times the robot had to dock to recharge, it would be really cool to see how long it took in each room, it would be awesome if we could see a fast time lapse of how the robot cleaned, etc). Last but not least, the single most annoying thing that Neato did was not include the cleaning tool that they include with all other models. This would have only cost an extra $1 if that, and they even tell you in the manual to use the cleaning tool to clean out the brush and sensors. Even the entry level Roomba's include a cleaning tool.
Pros:
- Smart vacuum with cleaning map that is comparable to $900 Roomba
- Cleans closer to edges of walls (due to its side wall sensor)
- Dust bin is easy to clean (especially with the upgraded filters, they have a screen to keep hair and big debris off the filter)
- Easy setup and continues to stay connected to the application, has always cleaned when it was scheduled
- Must cheaper with more features than other robot vacuums

Cons:
- Company seems to be a little greedy with the omission of the cleaning tool, the horrible entry level air filters, and the less than perfect small battery (Thankfully they all can be corrected, but you have to spend more money, granted the D5 is a lot more money and the only advantage is the tiny little side brush if you update the battery and air filter in your D3)
- The app is a little bare, I would really like to see some extra information in the white spaces (I really don't like that I have to click on the battery to see the percentage; there is plenty of space to always have it visible)
- Why does Neato not sell their robots or accessories. It would be very convenient to be able to find (authentic) accessories on their website to purchase rather than having to try to find them on Amazon, etc.

这个机器人设计得相当好，我想说它和Roomba 690非常相似。我个人用过Neato D3, Roomba 690, Roomba 980和Hoover Rogue。虽然我认为最好的真空吸尘器是 Hoover Rogue，但他们的应用程序真的很差劲，而机器人则依赖应用程序来完成一切。不要 买Hoover Rogue！抱歉说偏了，回到Neato D3，我在设置它之后只被卡住了两次，就算它只运行了6次。它在很大程度上清理了整个房子，只是有一次它漏掉了一个房间。Neato在靠近墙壁的地方做得更好，不像Roomba 690，它喜欢撞东西。Neato机器人上的大清洁刷非常棒，有些头发纠结在一起，但如果你每隔一周清洗一次，就会没事。我对Neato D3最大的担忧是Neato有无偷工减料。与其他机器人相比，D3的电池很小，我的机器人至少需要充电一次，有时需要两次才能完成清洁任务。这就是闪光点，它总是能从落下的地方重新回来。 Hoover Rogue说它能做到，但实际上它做不到，而Roomba 690也做不到。一个建议是你可以在亚马逊上购买更换用的电池，这是一个容量更大的电池。Neato D3的另一个问题是他们给机器人装了一个没用的空气过滤器。在大约15分钟的清洁后，它完全充满了灰尘和碎片，机器人的清洁能力完全减弱。值得庆幸的是，您可以购买更好的高性能过滤器，但它们有点昂贵。我强烈推荐升级版的。完成清洁之后，Neato会很清楚地将清洁区域展示在应用程序上，我认为它与Roomba 980一样。我想看看关于清洁的更多细节(什么时候机器人能够对接充电？那将是很酷的，看到每个房间里用了多长时间，或看到一个快速的机器人清洗,等等，这些功能将会很很棒！)。最后，Neato做的最烦人的一件事就是没有配备所有其他型号的清洁工具。如果是那样的话，这就会多花1美元，他们甚至在手册中告诉你如何使用清洁工具来清洁刷子和传感器。哪怕是入门级的Roomba也有配置一个清洁工具。 

优点:  -智能真空清洁，相当于900美元的Roomba 

-能更靠近墙壁边缘清洁(由于其侧壁传感器)

 -粉尘箱容易清洗(特别是升级后的过滤器，他们有一个隔层，以防止头发和大碎片离开过滤器) 

-易于安装，并继续保持与应用程序的连接，能够按照计划完成清洁任务

 -比其他机器人吸尘器更便宜，更有特色   

缺点:  公司似乎有点偷工减料、遗漏清洁工具,的嫌疑，入门级空气过滤器真让人无语，小电池也不够完美(幸运的是这些问题都可以解决，只是你必须花更多的钱,。买D5要更多钱，但唯一的优势就是它配置小边刷，如果你在D3中更新了电池和空气过滤器)

 -应用程序有些空洞，我真的很想看到一些额外的信息(我真的不喜欢我必须点击电池才能看到电量百分比;有足够的空间弥补这一不足)

 -为什么Neato不卖他们的机器人或配件。如果能在他们的网站上找到正品配件，而不是在亚马逊上找到，那就太方便了。

Assistant was easy, and supports basic commands (Start, Stop, Pause, Resume and Battery Percentage)

I spent a couple hours bot proofing my floors, so there was nothing to get in the way, or get accidentally sucked in. Then I vacuumed the entire house with my upright. First night, 2 rooms, and the bin was full... WOW, better than my upright!

After he is done, I get a notification on my phone, including a very detailed map of the rooms it cleaned, and where it was not able to go.

安装很容易，只要安装应用程序，遵循3个简单的步骤，就可以连接使用了。很容易就能连接到谷歌助手，并且支持基本命令(开始、停止、暂停、恢复和电池百分比)    

我花了几个小时在地板上打样，所以没有什么东西妨碍我，也没有什么东西不小心被吸进去。然后我用立式吸尘器清扫了整个房子。第一个晚上，有两个房间，垃圾箱满了……哇，好极了!   

他打扫完房间后，我的手机就会收到一个通知，其中包括一张非常详细的地图，上面显示了他打扫过的房间，以及他无法去的地方。

while in it's cleaning cycle while we were at work. But I liked how it notified you so you knew what to come home to. After two days of routine clean I have an entire basket full of lint & dirt to empty. Can't believe I didn't own this before! Only odd thing was the manual says to clean using a comb that didn't come in the package, kind of weird even checked the packaging twice--do I seriously have to buy this extra piece after spending some 300+ dollars? I feel like this was a mistake...
