Hi everyone!

I currently have a Neato D7 with a broken brush motor. It’s 3 years old, so no more warranty.

Given that Neato is shutting down, I want to buy a new vacuum altogether.

Here’s my wishlist:

  • Home Assistant integration (duh)
  • Vacuum + mopping
  • Local control would be cherry on top
  • LIDAR navigation (we run it mostly during the night)
  • Easy to service & reliable (should be easy to service the robot and buy replacement parts)

Any suggestions / recommendations?

    This is the first I’m hearing of Neato shutting down. They made great products so this is a bummer.

    I’ve heard good things about Valetudo, a custom firmware for vacuums, specifically when paired with Roborock vacuums. The more recent models seem much more of a pain to root though so I decided against replacing my last Neato that broke and was going to see how the market shaped up.

    Unfortunately with Neato exiting it seems like things are only going to consolidate more around expensive cloud-heavy models.
