Neato Robotics, a leading provider of intelligent robot vacuums for the home, today announced the global retail availability of the second and third model from its premium D-series lineup, Ultimate Cleaning Machine – the Neato D10 and D9. Specially crafted to tidy medium and large-sized homes respectively, the D10 and D9 join Neato’s previously released D8, which is engineered to tackle clean up in smaller spaces.
“Designed with our customers in mind, the new Neato D10, D9 and D8 are the most robust, intelligent, and secure robots Neato has ever made. We achieved this through a careful and thorough audit of both hardware and software, including finding inspiration from other industries’ technologies and best practices. The new platform which the robot vacuums are built on represents the path for future Neato models. We lead the market across key metrics, including all three models’ dust pick up on hard surfaces, D10’s longest 300-minutes run time and D10’s filtration with the introduction of the first onboard true HEPA filter,” said Neato CEO, Thomas Nedder.
Available just in time for the holiday season, the Neato D10, D9 and D8 feature the brand’s signature D-shaped design and thorough dust pickup, which allow them to get into corners like no round robot can. Some of Neato D9 and D10’s newest and most notable features include a Helix Multi-Surface Main Brush that is 50% quieter on hard surfaces, the introduction of zone cleaning, a unique max vacuum mode for D10, and more.
“Neato is dedicated to providing amazing customer experiences by going above and beyond to exceed expectations by anticipating what customers need now and what they may need later, including best-in-class product design, innovation, experience, privacy and security. Our recent market research shows that customers care about cleaning efficacy and noise profile more than they care about filters and runtimes. That’s why we designed the latest intelligent robot vacuums with superior dust pickup and quieter cleaning noise, specifically on hard surfaces,” said Neato VP of Marketing and Ecommerce, Howard Leyda.
All three robots feature LaserSmart technology and utilize the same kind of LiDAR technology found in many autonomous cars to support SLAM (Simultaneous Location And Mapping) navigation. Unlike camera-based robot vacuums that capture images of users and their environment, Neato’s LiDAR technology enables Neato to scan its environment using lasers and clean in low light to dark conditions, including at night and under furniture, all without compromising the user’s privacy and security. Neato also offers world-class encryption to store the mapping coordinates both on board the products and in the cloud, and does not share or sell user data.
