Compare ECOVACS DEEBOT OZMO 930 and NEATO BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED
Author: Maurice Savaryego, M.Sc.Eng.
NEATO and ECOVACS are two of the most important vacuuming robot manufacturing companies today, and both companies make a number of robots offering various features, ranging from the most basic to the most sophisticated.
NEATO's BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED and ECOVACS's DEEBOT OZMO 930 are the top level robots each company offers, and they are two of the very few robots available today on the market that can resume by themselves the vacuuming job exactly where it gets interrupted after the robot returns to its docking station to recharge. This means that both robots are able to clean very large areas with almost no human intervention! However, the two robots are by no means identical in terms of the features they offer. If you are considering getting one of these two robots, but you are not quite sure which to get, you may find this article useful. We will compare here the two robots in detail, so you may be able to choose the one that will respond best to your home's vacuuming needs.

The following table compares the two robots. Please read the table notes that follow for a better understanding of the feature differences.
Notes 1 - 23 Explained:
Note 1:
NEAT BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED is a little bit thinner (only 3.9" in height as opposed to 4.0" for DEEBOT OZMO 930) which means that it can go better under low lying furniture. It is also a little bit narrower (13.2" wide as opposed to 13.9" for DEEBOT OZMO) and therefore can pass better through narrower passages.
Note 2:
Both robots are equipped with one or more side brushes, but because NEATO BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED has a semi-rectangular D-shape, it is reasonable to think that it can be even more efficient in cleaning wall edges and corners.
Note 3:
Both robots support Wi-Fi and can be controlled remotely from a smartphone or tablet.
Note also that both robots are compatible with Amazon Alexa, so they can be voice controlled. Simply ask Alexa to start, stop, or dock your robot.
Note 4:
Both ECOVACS and NEATO provide Android and IOS apps to control remotely their robots. The apps can be easily downloaded to your smartphone or tablet.
Note 5:
Note 6:
Note 7:
Both robots can transition with ease between different types of floors, be it hardwood, laminate, tiled or carpeted.
Note 8:
With both robots, you can use the associated app to display a map of the area to be cleaned. The map can be used to place virtual boundaries that the robot will not cross, to view job status and floor coverage summaries, etc.
Note 9:
With DEEBOT OZMO 930 and BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED, to prevent the robot from entering certain rooms or areas that are not supposed to be cleaned, Virtual Boundaries can be set using the app and the visual map. With BOTVAC D7, these boundaries are called No-Go Lines.
Note that with BOTVAC D7, you can also use optionally Boundary Markers made of magnetic strips that are laid along the entry to off-limit areas.
Note 10:
Using the associated app, both robots can be scheduled to clean up to 7 times a week, one cleaning for every day of the week.
Note 11:
When the battery gets low, both robots return to the charging base to recharge. They then resume by themsleves the vacuuming where it was interrupted.This allows seamless coverage of very large surfaces and entire floors without human intervention.
Note 12:
When auto clean mode is invoked, both robots considered here will use the navigation and vacuuming methodes described above (in Notes 5 & 6) to automatically perform the vacuuimng job, intelligently covering and effectively cleaning the targeted space. The auto cleaning mode mode can be invoked simply by pressing a button on the robots, or it can also be invoked from your smartphone via the associated iOS or Android app.
Note 13:
After DEEBOT OZMO 930 has scanned and mapped the environment, using the Area Cleaning Mode, specific areas can be selected from the visual map for cleaning prioritization. Area Cleaning Mode can only be selected using the App.
Though with BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED, you can not prioritize on the visual map areas for cleaning, you can use the map to set No-Go Lines that the robot will not cross.
Note 14:
Spot cleaning allows the robot to focus on a limited area that can be selected and that requires more intense vacuuming.
Note 15:
DEEBOT OZMO 930 uses the proprietary Adaptive Floor Sensing (AFS) technology to detect the floor type. When the robot detects that it is on carpet, AFS will boost suction power automatically for a deeper cleaning.
Note 16:
NEATO BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED can be run in two distinct modes: Eco and Turbo.
Eco is the power saving economy mode and gives you a quiet, longer cleaning. Turbo is the default mode and provides a super-powered cleaning, maximizing pickup of stuff like dirt, debris, and pet hair.
Note 17:
DEEBOT OZMO 930 has an optional mopping system that uses a wet/dry cleaning cloth attached to a reservoir. Once the cloth is attached and the mopping mode is selected, the Advanced Wet/Dry Mopping System dampens the cloth pad from liquid from the reservoir, mops the floor and dries it to a sparkling shine! An electronically-controlled water pump consistently draws water from a large reservoir to initiate the mopping. In addition, the robot has sensors that allow the robot, depending on the floor being bare or carpeted, to automatically switch to mopping mode or stop dampening the cloth, so as to guarantee a safe and deep clean.
Note 18:
DEEBOT OZMO 930 can mop and vacuum at the same time, but it uses ECOVACS’ latest technology, Adaptive Floor Sensing (AFS) to detect the floor type, so it knows when to mop and when just vacuum. So, DEEBOT OZMO 930 will avoid carpets when the mop pad is attached without any intervention from you. And when the robot is on carpet, AFS will increase suction power automatically for a deeper cleaning.
Note 19:
DEEBOT OZMO 930 talks! If it has something to report (such as errors, problems or status information), the robot will announce it vocally in real-time.
Note 20:
Though DEEBOT OZMO 930 does not have a full bin indicator, the bin is large enough to handle several normal vacuuming cycles.
Note 21:
Note 22:
Lithium-Ion batteries run longer vacuuming sessions than Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium) or NiMH (Nickel–Metal Hydride) batteries and last longer before battery replacement is needed.
Note 23:
When you purchase a DEEBOT OZMO 930, here is what you get in the box:

Note 5:
- DEEBOT OZMO 930 comes with interchangeable suction options: You can either choose the main brush option for deep cleaning, or easily switch to the direct suction option for vacuuming up human and pet hairs without tangling.
The robot is also equipped with double side brushes for cleaning thoroughly along wall edges. - The SpinFlow technology used on NEATO BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED combines powerful vacuum suction and precision brushes to leave floors immaculately clean. The robot can be equipped with two types of brushes:
- a spiral combo brush which combined with NEATO's powerful vacuum suction removes easily debris, dirt and fibers, and is considered the gold standard for pet hair and dirt pick-up on floors of all types. Effortless to remove and maintain, it generates reduced noise and is the preferred brush solution for homes with different floor types.
- a single side brush for thorough edge cleaning which allows the robot to get deep into corners and right up against walls as well as base boards for superior cleaning coverage.
Note 6:
- ECOVACS's Smart Navi technology found in DEEBOT OZMO 930 uses Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) together with Laser Distance Sensors (LDS) to enable the robot to scan the environment and set up a virtual map, and schedule the cleaning path accordingly, instead of wandering around randomly. With Smart Navi technology, the robot knows where it is, cleans more efficiently, and provides real time mapping of your floor plan. In addition, thanks to the advanced anti-drop sensors, the robot cleans up to and around stairs without falling over. If the robot senses a drop-off, it reverses direction and selects a new cleaning path. If the sensors detect an obstacle, a signal is sent to the robot's "brain" to slow down, and select a new path.
- NEAT BOTVAC D7 CONNECTED is equipped with a Laser Eye that uses infrared light to scan the surroundings and uses the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping ( SLAM) technology to build an accurate map of the room and any obstacles. Using this map, the robot is able to efficiently clean the floor in a pattern of straight and overlapping lines, avoiding obstacles and never missing a spot. The robot scans and maps multiple rooms, remembering your home’s unique layout, to plan a more efficient path and help it cover more floor on a single charge. The result is more thorough coverage and greater care around furniture, objects, and stairs.
