hey we're here in Berlin at the ephah tech conference and I'm here at the Neto booth to check out their new connected bot back this is a robot vacuum it'll sell for $700 at the end of this year and it's got Wi-Fi built right in so you can control it from your phone you can schedule it to start remotely if you want to have it run wire at work and then have the floors clean and you get home it can do that I also like the fact that this is more than just Wi-Fi packed into the existing nito's this is a legitimate upgrade it's got a much better battery with lithium ion replacing the nickel metal halide up before and also two new cleaning modes Eco mode and turbo mode turbo mode is basically just full speed normal Neto but the Eco mode will run at a much quieter much softer sort of low battery state that'll help it keep the noise down you're watching TV that'll be nice to have you'll be able to start and stop a run in the app you'll be able to change between those two modes you'll also be able to steer it around manually like a toy car that's fun and novel but it's also useful if you have a specific spot in your carpet that needs a good queen we look forward to testing this product out in our Louisville test facility later this year from Norfolk Aoife check out cnet.com slash for seeing that appliances I'm right Chris
