A:AnswerSorry to hear you don’t like the Neato robot. I have had mine for years with up grades, I now have the D7. Thru the years I had troubles but I purchased the geek squad plan. They replace or will let me up grade to the newest model. This is the best one for my situation. I have 3 Australia shepherds and they shed like crazy( indoor dogs). I do have to empty the dirt bind daily and clean the brush every 3 days. Still love it. I have called the customer service center when I couldn’t get the settings to work and they worked with me until we got it programmed
A:AnswerYou don't need internet, you just need wifi. You can have an in home network without any outside internet access.
That said, I believe you just need wifi for bot to communicate with your app and to have a smarter way to connect and control the bot, like scheduling, adding nogo lines on the floorplan etc.... Without the app, I think all you have to do is hit the button on top and it will still run in the room it is located in.
A:AnswerDear Valued Customer,
Thanks for your question. The latest model of ours is the Connected D7. You can find more information about this robot through this link:

A:Answeryes, I already had it run on my entire upstairs floor that has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It picked up all the hair from my wife and my two daughters who have already moved out. I had to clean it out already after two runs. Or they recommend new brushes every few months. But I can tell you the brush picks up the hair, it just doesn't make it into the bin.
A:AnswerI think the main difference is the D7 can do zones. So you can set up several zones on your floor plan and schedule the bot to do different zones. The D6 only has multiple floor plans for up to 3 rooms. Other than that, I think the only difference is the D7 comes in the grey top and the D6 is black and lastly, I think there are very slight differences in the accessories. D6 magnetic nogo strip is longer, I think a brush might be slightly different.
A:AnswerIt doesn’t hang up as much, I also started with the D85 many moons ago. We have upgraded a couple times over the years, this one is by far the best one so far! Happy Botvac-ing.
