Dyson touts the product as “the world’s most powerful robot vacuum, with two times the suction of any other robot vacuum.” So far, I would have to agree. To start, the technology is so much more advanced than its competitors’—guess that’s why it took so long to be engineered to pure perfection. It sucks up dust particles in every corner under my bed and dresser, even in the tightest spots.Read B
Dyson has introduced the 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum, which Dyson says packs twice the suction power of other robot vacuums and is designed for all floor types. We gotta check this out. First, we've got the D-shaped body and low profile design so can reach into corners and under furniture.Watch T
If you have a relatively simple floor plan with lots of high-pile carpet, Dyson’s D-shaped robovac is worth considering. It can traverse obstacles up to 21 millimeters high and offers a whopping 65 air watts of suction — twice that of many robovacs — rendering it one of the most powerful models our resident smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, has ever tested.Read A
But seriously, to help take some of the load off of you, this little guy is not only super smart, but also super efficient with two times the suction of any other robot vacuum according to Dyson. It features a trademark hyperdimemium motor which spins at 110,000 rotations per minute. So, you've got some serious power.Watch T
Excellently, thanks to its 360-degree vision system and intelligent Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology. It creates detailed floor maps in real time, enabling precise, systematic cleaning rather than the erratic paths of cheaper models.Read B
It is also Dyson's strongest robot to date It doesn't mop the floor and it doesn't have a self-vacuuming function.Watch R
Even with its minor limitations, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav is a standout robovac with its powerful cleaning and intuitive app. It’s especially well-suited for busy households and pet-friendly homes that need consistent, thorough cleaning without much effort.Read V
I just love how this machine cleans. It sounds like it's actually cleaning rather than just spreading dirt. The allergens like cheap robot vacuums do. Even good ones that I've had just never really seemed to clean very well. Try and get a little bit closer. It's on auto mode.Watch G
In our tests, this Dyson excelled at vacuuming. During our pet hair pickup tests, none of the faux fur caused clogs, and the brush bar’s near-full-width design allowed it to clean the same area in fewer passes.Read V
Look at how well it's done so far. I mean, the surface dirt is picked up. It's the deep down dirt I'm concerned about. And yes, I prevacked the room three times slowly with the Ricar R17, sorry, R10P. So, the carpet is extremely clean. That's a very powerful vacuum cleaner. Heat. Heat. Here it comes for the final pass over here. Move my feet. It certainly seems like it's getting the dirt.Watch T
In answer to your prayers, Amazon has discounted the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum cleaner , one of the best robot vacuums on the market, by a whopping 50% for a limited time.Read F
Overall the Dyson 360 Visav delivers cleaning performance on par with good cordless vacuum cleaners. And that's a remarkable result for a robot vacuum. Next up is the carpet cleaning performance. Here too, I'm using certified test dust. On both the red and blue carpets, I applied 10 g of test dust, evenly distributed and lightly worked into the fibers.Watch D
The Spot+Scrub AI can now do everything that the competition from Dreame, Roborock or Ecovacs has had in its programme for at least one or two years.Read V
In the right conditions, this is the first robot I've tested that actually cleans like a vacuum, not a toy. Over 21 days in a busy, pet-filled 1,800 square foot home, I measured pickup rates, noise, runtime, edge cleaning, and hair tangle. And while it's not for everyone, there are three reasons you might need to try it before you dismiss it.Watch H
Unmatched suction power : The Vis Nav delivers around 8100 Pa , which is roughly double the suction of most competing robot vacuums.Read R

What makes the Dyson 360 Vis Nav worth every penny is the suction power behind it. Dyson claims twice the suction of any other robot vacuum on the market and the engineering backing that claim includes a full width brush bar, an automatic extending side ducted for true edge cleaning, whole machine hepoiltration, and 26 sensors for intelligent navigation.Watch B

Dyson claims this machine has twice the suction of any other robot on the planet. But can it actually replace your upright vacuum? It is a bold promise from a brand that usually delivers. And the 360 Vis Nav is definitely trying to change the game.Watch

it has a great suction power, but at what cost? in max mode it drains the battery in 15 minutes. The edge cleaning ability is garbage.Read thread A
While there's no self- emptying station, which I find a point of criticism, especially considering the price of the device, Dyson has at least solved the dustbin issue very well. There's a fold-out handle that I can then use to empty it. There's also a switch that opens the dustbin downwards and ejects the dust.Watch E
Pros Exceptional carpet cleaning: Unmatched performance on carpets.Read T
The biggest sticking point, however, for most consumers is the actual price.Watch V
This is my first Dyson robot vacuum, and while I wanted to buy one when it launched in 2023, I just couldn't justify the price for a robot that even then lag behind much of the competition. Still, I always knew I'd eventually get my hands on one to find out if its carpet cleaning performance really lived up to the hype.Watch D Dr. Kim Townsel Dr. Kim Townsel · 13.6K subscribers · Nov 2025
Also, I just don't think this is a very attractive machine, but I've been looking at it for several years now, and it finally came down to almost half price, and I don't really see anything better out there. My Nato D7 had the Dshape, which is what I wanted because that gets into the corners, and this is the only one that's on the market right now that I can find that isn't refurbished.Watch V
It did a decent job. I want to see it go back over that area. Trying to push this thing out of the way. Vacuum, you're not going to be able to push that. Let me just move this. This thing is always in the way. Anyways, there. Now the vacuum's unstuck. Heat. There it goes. I hope it goes back to the carpet. Well, it handles this rug, which is really nice.Watch 1
It surprised me by being phenomenal at fine dust, yet surprisingly weak at basic mapping and edge cleanup. In real use, the 360 Vis Nav feels premium. solid plastic throughout, a smooth top shell, and a clean ejection mechanism for the dust bin. The D-shaped body is Dyson's attempt to hug walls more closely. And yes, it does reach closer than circular bots in some spots.Watch 1
❗ Dyson 360 Vis Nav Review: Incredible Suction But Major FlawsWatch C
While the vacuuming is superior, the market is filled with competitors offering docks and mops at similar prices. You are paying for world-class engineering, but you will need to handle maintenance tasks like emptying the bin yourself. These factors identify potential buyer complaints and maintenance requirements.Watch

One more serious flaw is how the water tanks are sealed. The one time the robot tried to consume a baby sock, the app alerted me to the fact that the robot needed assistance. So, I picked up the robot and turned it over to pull out the sock (as I have done to dozens of other robots in my time) and spilled a lot of very, very hot dirty mop juice all over my hands and legs.Read V
That is the heaviest robot I've ever picked up. That is so heavy. Here's another piece to the dock. That's everything. Let's see why this is so heavy. One second, everyone. Let me get this plastic off. And here is the Viznav. So, in here is the pre filter, I'm guessing. Yep. Here's the pre-F filter or a filter of some sort. Pop it out like this to wash it. Ow, that hurt. Here's the filter.Watch G
