Agreed…3 plus years and roborock still rocking! My neato crapped out after 2 years. LiDAR failure.
I think I've had every failure with the neatos including lidar failure. And when you pay near full price multiple times you realize how much quality matters on these. Even at $250 if it lasts 1.5 years is terrible ROI
Ive owned two d3's for 5 years and think they're great. I've had to do small repairs but its very easy to fix these, just bring up a YouTube video.
Don't let the numbers confuse you.
My issue with roborock is the rug performance. I have the shark AI, paid $200 and it's drastically outperforms the Neato and roborock in rug dog hair removal.

Anyone want a couple D5s? Ha
You got unlucky. My D7 is on the 4th year and is still going strong
As far as issues go, the belt broke on the side brush for one of the D7's. It's a pita to replace and Neato doesn't sell replacement belts. I had to use an O-ring and it doesn't work as well. The software also gets flaky. Sometimes it will sit there and keep trying to turn into a wall or something. It doesn't happen very often but it has done it occasionally. I believe the latest software helped a lot. These last of the line D7's in inventory will come with a software revision that is newer than what is shown on Neato website. It might be the same as what the D10's have. My newer one has it and it seems to work alright. Now for my biggest issue, if you record a map with the D7 near doors, those doors have to be in the same open or closed position for it to run on a schedule or else it thinks it was moved. You can manually start it from the machine itself but not the app. The D7 can record two maps if you have a 2 story house. I have a single story. I haven't tried recording a second map with the doors closed to see if that would work. If you never record a map, it will run automatically on a schedule but then you won't have no-go lines or the ability to have it clean a specific area.
Basically, I would recommend this if you have a lot of carpet, rugs, kids and pets.
If your house is mostly tile, my Deebot does great on that. It's horrible on carpet but the round shape allows it to get between chair legs in the kitchen. I've since stopped using my Deebot because they kept pushing updates to the app that were screwing up the map. Now I can't even get it to complete a recording of my house. It has to go back to the charger to save the map and on its final run to record, it will go about 2 feet from the charging base and stop. It takes hours to record a map. I've tried several times and given up. Deebot Roborocks also have some crazy privacy policies. You are basically allowing the company access to the GPS location of your house, a map of your house, your WIFI credentials and access to Wi-Fi traffic. Neato does not monitor your wi-fi traffic the last I checked. Neato is also a German company while Roborocks is a Chinese company.
I hope this information help someone.
