Neabot Home 4+

Looks like they put a lot of hard work into this one, but it failed because of two massive issues. Firstly, the app logs you out constantly. This makes no sense, given one of the greatest benefits of this device is that you can use it to clean individual areas such as rugs by naming them. Extremely annoying to have to log back into the app every day just to clean a rug. I think this is easily fixable, but I Believe that the developer doesn’t want to do it because this requires more horsepower from their servers.

The second problem is also tied back to horsepower. Their servers are holding the layout of your home, the app doesn’t store it locally. Because of this, your saved layouts could take several minutes to load, and occasionally tens of minutes to load. They really need better hardware.

We have even using another Robovac for about 4 yrs and although it worked ok it didn’t have the fine control of the Neabot that this app gives me. We have been using the Neabot and App for several days now and I have to say that it works great! We did have the robot Vac plug up once but wasn’t a problem (as long as it doesn’t happen often an will update this review later) We are very pleased with with both, the Robot is fairly quiet an we can let it run while we are home an watching TV with just a bump in Vol of the tv. Setting zones is easy as well. The only things I would ask to change is adding a way to select the Vac power for each zone or area, I know that the robot can change the vac power when moving from a floor to a rug or carpet but it would be nice to set the power depending on the zones we set, and add a remember password or face scan to log into the app. If your looking for a good robo vac I would definitely recommend this one! The price was very reasonable when compared to comparable devices of other companies. Thank you!

P.S. I will update this after a month of using it.

While most of the app is fine, it takes a while sometimes to load zones if it does at all. Also I have tried to update firmware on the bot and it always gets to 42% and fails. At least with this latest app update I can actually read the update failure in English. I have reported the issue to Neato and it is going on 2 months with no fix.
