01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

Any task, any setting
IV

02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

Neato Botvac D7 Connected

The feature it invented no longer works as designed: user-drawn no-go lines lived on the cloud service Vorwerk shut down in 2025.

Onboard LiDAR still maps and cleans without the app, but every run now starts at the robot itself, since cloud scheduling is gone for good.

End-of-life parts economics: consumables run roughly $140 a year, more than a working used unit now commands.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro

The dock washes and dries mop pads at temperatures usually reserved for pricier docks, but structured-light sensors cannot see a charging cable the way a camera-equipped flagship can.

Auto Mop Removal parks the mop before carpet; carpet-border misreads however still let the robot begin mopping onto an area rug until a no-mop zone is drawn.

2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi: a home running a merged or 5GHz-first network may need to split bands before the robot will connect.

Who each one is wrong for

Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.

Neato Botvac D7 Connected
Owners seeking active vendor support or app features
The 2025 cloud shutdown ended scheduling, zone management and firmware updates, and no vendor remains to restore them. The robot still maps and cleans, but every run starts at the robot.
Any home requiring cloud integration or app control
The cloud backend went dark in 2025. Scheduling, no-go lines and remote commands are permanently offline; the button on the robot is the only control.
Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro
Floors with loose cables, cords, or ribbons
Independent testing found the robot picks up nearly every unflattened cable it crosses; its structured-light sensors cannot distinguish thin cords from open floor the way a camera can.
Networks that only offer 5GHz Wi-Fi
The robot connects on 2.4GHz exclusively; a router broadcasting only a 5GHz band, or one merged without a 2.4GHz option, will not complete setup.
Large homes above roughly 3,000 sq ft
No independent test of coverage above 3,000 sq ft was found; the 253-minute rated runtime is unconfirmed against a layout this size in a single session.
Deep or high-pile carpet needing verified deep-clean suction
20,000 Pa is a mid-tier suction figure and no independent test of thick, high-pile carpet performance has been published for this specific model.
Homes with area rugs needing hands-off no-mop zoning
A documented review found the robot began wetting a dining room rug before its boundary was manually outlined; carpet-edge detection is not fully automatic on rugs.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

Neato Botvac D7 Connected
  • Weekly: Filter rinse, brush bristle inspection.
  • Every 2-3 months: Side brush replacement (~$20).
  • Every 3-6 months: Main filter replacement (~$15).
  • As needed: Dock guide-strip cleaning if misalignment occurs.
Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro
  • Weekly: Check the main brush and side brush for tangled hair, cables, or cords.
  • Monthly: Empty or replace the dock’s self-sealing dust bag and wipe the water tank.
  • Every 3-6 months: Replace mop pads and inspect the main brush for wear.
  • Every 3-6 months: Rinse or replace the washable filter per manufacturer guidance.
  • Annually: Replace the side brush and check the dock’s heating element for scale buildup.
  • As needed: Reseat the dust-roller compartment if the robot will not dock; one review documented this out of the box.
05 Evidence

How much each of these is standing on.

Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
