Neither Neato Botvac D3 nor Neato XV-21 were recommended by experts this month

On 4 Apr 2024 (14 days ago) we went through 68 Robotic Vacuum expert endorsements , however neither Neato Botvac D3 nor Neato XV-21 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Robotic Vacuum received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at iRobot Roomba s9+ or other critically acclaimed Robotic Vacuums of this month.

For reference, iRobot Roomba s9+ received 4 endorsements this month, from Consumer Reports (29 Mar 2024), Good Housekeeping (7 Dec 2023) Modern Castle (11 Mar 2024) and 1 other.
