The Dyson V12 Detect Slim, for example, first launched in Australia alongside the V15 Detect and didn't make it to the US or the UK until much later. I asked Dyson when the 360 Vis Nav would be available in more markets, particularly the US and the UK, and I wasn't given a timeline, although from indirect hints it does seem it will end up in the wider global market at some point. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav has a touchscreen that lets you change modes and displays important information like when to clean the filter (Image credit: TechRadar / Sharmishta Sarkar) That said, Dyson devices don't come cheap. The multi-tasking Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra cost $1,549 / £1,499 / AU$2,499 and $1,599 / AU$2,699 (unavailable in the UK) respectively. That's a pretty steep price for a robot vacuum cleaner that doesn't mop or empty its bin automatically and puts it out of reach for several potential customers. It's first launching in Australia with a price tag of AU$2,399 (converting to about $1,599 / £1,285) and will be available to buy directly from the Dyson Store from May 25. The price of an automated Dyson cleanĪccording to James Dyson, "a robot vacuum cleaner should not be a novelty." The price of the Dyson 360 Vis Nav, however, might just make it so. That makes it potentially ideal for people with allergies. As mentioned earlier, the HEPA filtration system promises to be airtight, and can capture and seal in 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 micron (the size of a corn starch particle, with tobacco smoke sitting at 0.5 microns and bacteria at 0.3 microns as a comparison). There's up to 50 minutes of battery life on a full charge but, Dyson says, you may not get more than 5-8 minutes on Boost. Like the cordless handsticks, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav has four cleaning modes – Auto for optimized and dynamic cleaning, Quick for small spot cleans, Quiet for when you want to watch Netflix without the dialogues drowning out, and Boost for a deeper clean. (Image credit: TechRadar / Sharmishta Sarkar) And none of the competition has the little tube-like protrusion to suck up dirt lingering in room edges. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav has dynamic suction, so it will automatically alter the power in Auto mode if it senses more dirt or a different floor surface. Still, 65AW is powerful and, from what I saw during the launch event's demonstration, it's more than enough to suck up some fine dust in the form of cornflour. Similarly, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra boasts up to 6,000Pa or 115AW. However, Ecovacs Robotics one-ups Dyson with its Deebot X1 series getting a whopping 96.15AW (or 5,000Pa) of maximum suction. Taking some of the more popular robot vacuum cleaners on the market as examples, the Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI has 28.8 AW of maximum suction and the Deebot T9 gets 57.69AW with a motor spinning at up to 19,000rpm. Most robovacs offer between 500Pa to 3,000Pa (9.6AW to 57.69AW 1Pa equates to 52AW) of suction power, with the average being 1,400Pa or 27AW. This puts Dyson's new robovac almost at the top of the list of most powerful robot vacuum cleaners, but not at the very top. The Dyson engineers at our demonstration were rather proud of how much power they've managed to give the 360 Vis Nav, and rightly so. a better cleanĭyson's promise of a superior floor clean comes from the maximum of 65 air watts (AW) of suction power and a redesigned Hyperdymium motor that spins at up to 110,000rpm. There's no lidar here as with some other robot vacuum cleaners.Ī stripped-down model of the Dyson 360 Vis Nav showing a cross-section of the Radial Cyclone tubes (Image credit: TechRadar / Sharmishta Sarkar) With more power comes. These sensors have different purposes, including obstacle avoidance, dust detection, edge detection and calculating time of flight (ToF) to help with navigation and map creation. Helping the 360 Vis Nav navigate around a home is a combination of a fish-eye lens capable of 'seeing' a full 360º and 26 additional sensors. While you won't see a graphical representation of the particles being cleaned on the touchscreen on the top plate, it helps create a dust map of your home which is accessible via the MyDyson smartphone app. As with the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners, this separates the larger particles from the smaller and they all get sealed into what Dyson promises to be the most airtight system of any robot vacuum.Īllowing you to get a better idea of what the robovac is sucking up is a piezo sensor that was first introduced to Dyson's cordless handsticks in the V15 Detect. Design-wise, the blue D-shaped bot looks chunky and yet there's a distinct Dyson aesthetic to it, probably because of the recognizable Radial Cyclone tech on the top plate of the robovac.
