Let the Neato Botvac D4 robot vacuum on sale for $299 do your cleaning for you

As we head toward a new decade, it's really well past time that you upgraded to a robot vacuum and cut out one aspect of manual labor from your life. Fortunately for you, the Neato Robotics Botvac D4 app-controlled robot vacuum cleaner is down to $299 at Amazon right now. This is the lowest it has ever gone there, though we don't expect it will last long as it is matching a one-day deal at Best Buy. It regularly sells for nearer $400 and sometimes goes for as much as $530.

The coolest part about this robot vacuum is that it connects to an app on your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to control its actions or schedule a cleaning from anywhere in the world. With the app, you can even set up "no-go lines" to keep the vacuum out of certain areas of the home. Its built-in battery can last for up to 75 minutes of cleaning; when it gets low, the vacuum returns itself to its charger so you never have to worry about it going dead. Neato also sends regular software updates and new features to the vacuum to keep it up to date. Plus, if you have a device like the Echo Dot or the Google Nest Mini you can begin voice controlling this robot vacuum by asking Alexa or the Google Assistant.

We compared the Botvac D4 to the similar Roborock S4 to try and help readers pick between them. We have also rounded up the best robot vacuums in 2019, a list that the Neato Botvac D4 features on, with a variety of models for different use cases and budgets.
