I tested the new Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum 3 things I like and 3 I dont

From across the room, or across the world, the Link app allows the cleaning times to be scheduled and adjusted whenever connected to wifi. Switch between the three cleaning levels (quiet, high, and max) and create zones throughout the house which allows custom behaviours in each area. Afterwards the Dyson Link app shows cleaning reports and maps of the areas the 360 Heurist has cleaned. Perhaps the niftiest feature is an arm that pops out when the 360 Vis Nav is cleaning against a wall.

Not the most efficient thing in the world, not even particularly useful really. Naturally, the 360 Vis Nav is also compatible with the MyDyson app, which can be used to create and customize zones, bissell crosswave cordless schedule cleans, and set routines. This app can also display deep cleaning reports which map dust hotspots throughout your home – it’ll then automatically increasing suction power when needed.

Our home is 1800 sq feet and I’m not willing to remap the whole works for one missing piece. A lot of homes are open concept in Canada, and the zoning feature doesn’t work well when there are no walls. Along with the 360 Vis Nav, Dyson launched the latest versions dyson robot vacuum of its famous cordless vacuums, the Gen5detect and Gen5outsize. Using the fifth generation of Dyson’s Hyperdymium motors, they’re “smaller, faster and more powerful” than past models and even capable of “capturing viruses from your home,” Dyson promised.

What’s even more impressive are Dyson’s claims that the 360 Vis Nav is about six times more powerful than any other robot vacuum on the market. Which for me, was always the one (and essential) factor I found to be disappointing in robot vacuums. With twice the suction power of any other robot vacuum, it’s engineered with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology that creates a 360-degree vision and remembers where it has been.

Renowned for its exceptional power and advanced, dust-detection technology, I’ve never been disappointed by my trusted Dyson vacuum cleaner. However, the company has had less success when it bissell crosswave cordless comes to the best robot vacuums. Dyson is making a return to the market with its latest Dyson 360 Vis Nav. I say ‘return’, as this is their third attempt at really cracking the category.

This would tally with Dyson’s past comments that the Heurist was not quite right for US homes. Allowing the vacuum to get under more items of furniture would certainly help with sales. Branding on the device suggests it will also use Dyson’s new Hyperdymium motors. This is simply Dyson’s name for its latest brushless electric motors, which have appeared in its most recent stick vacuums. It also looks like you can remove part of the internal tubing (picture 4 below) that connects the bin to the brushes.

We’ve had to wait three years for Dyson’s new robot vacuum cleaner to be researched, developed, engineered, manufactured and tested – and fortunately, I think it’s been worth the wait. Meanwhile, the Dyson Submarine is the company’s first ever wet vacuum cleaner. It has a wet roller head that attaches to the new V15s Detect Submarine and V12s Slim submarine vacuums (but not any older models). It can not only remove dust and stains from hard floors, but even handle spills like ketchup. Finally, Dyson has introduced the Big+quiet Formaldehyde, a new air purifier designed for large homes.

Most robots produced today can vacuum, mop, and take care of minor maintenance tasks such as emptying dustbins and cleaning their mopheads. But no matter how fancy the robot, it’ll eventually stop working and need to be replaced. Many robot vacuums struggle when it comes to cleaning under furniture, behind couches, or between the legs of chairs. The K10+ aims to eliminate those issues, with a diameter of just 248 millimeters. Compared to the 340 millimeters of the SwitchBot S1 Plus, that’s some impressive downsizing.
