The Neato Botvac D7 Connected (also known as the D710) is one of those rare things: it’s an update to a product that, in my opinion, didn’t need an upgrade. Neato Botvac D7 Connected (D701) review: In full And Neato has also improved the algorithm used to detect when it needs to be recharged instead of waiting until it's almost empty, it'll now run back to base for a quick top-up before continuing its clean. Neato is also now selling the charging base as a separate accessory so you if you have a particularly large area of floor space to clean on your second or third floor, you can have it charge itself.

A new version of the app now allows you the robot to map multiple floors, where before it was limited to just the one, which is handy for those living in houses.

Update: The Neato Botvac D7 Connected was the best robot vacuum cleaner when we reviewed it at launch but, thanks to a software update, it's just got even better.
