Neato Botvac D6 Connected vs iLife V5s

The Neato Botvac D6 Connected makes for a good, if unremarkable, Robot Vacuum for people with a $450 budget.

The iLife V5s, however, is merely mediocre at its $168 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $450 and $150 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.

If you're still interested in learning more about the Neato Botvac D6 Connected and iLife V5s, however, we wrote a summary of what we could find about them:

The Neato Botvac D6 Connected was well-received by reviewers at Android Central, a trustworthy source that performs unbiased hands-on testing. It did great in their "Best Robot Vacuums for Pets 2021" roundup - they named it their "Best for Corners", which, by itself, suggests that it's a noteworthy product.

Taking a look at the iLife V5s, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Robot Vacuum roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Robot Vacuums, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Neato Botvac D6 Connected got its highest, 9, rating from The Ambient, while the iLife V5s earned its best, 9.4, score from Gadget Review.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other Robot Vacuums on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by Robot Vacuums being 7.2 out of 10, whereas the Neato Botvac D6 Connected and iLife V5s managed averages of 8.2 and 9.4 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Neato Botvac D6 Connected vs. iLife V5s comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
