Like the Roborock, it features LIDAR navigation and feels better built; however, it isn’t self-emptying compatible. It also does a terrible job of sealing fine allergens, even with a high-efficiency E11 filter. At the Institute we have often been impressed by the power of Dyson vacuums. In some ways, the Heurist is no exception, but its robotics and connectivity are lacking.
On occasion, the app would not allow our testers to start the vacuum; it stalled, waiting for a software update which did not come. There were also times when the app simply could not connect to the vacuum. The result of this was that there were several occasions when we were unable to use the vacuum. The body of the vacuum has a minimal user interface, with only a single button, so the vacuum must be controlled by the app. Our single biggest issue with this vacuum is its connectivity. We found that the Heurist’s connection to wi-fi is very poor, disconnecting itself every few minutes, which meant we couldn’t control it for periods of time.
Its dust pickup on hard floors such as laminate is also capable. However, compared to a standard stick, upright, and cylinder vacuums, the robot vacuum’s performance was not as strong, though this is to be expected. Other innovations include Dyson’s flagship cyclonic suction technology, powered by the same motor that’s found in Dyson’s handheld vacuums. A washable filter and dust bin are both hygienic and economical.
As per the reports by The Verge, the unannounced vacuum cleaner may be called the Dyson 360 Hyperdymium. Reports also suggest that the Dyson vacuum cleaner will be equipped with the brand’s strongest motor, the Hyperdymium , which is supposed to be more reliable and quieter than a brushed motor. Replaced Roborock S5 Max with Roborock Q5 as ‘Best Mid-Range Robot Vacuum Cleaner’ due to current availability. Replaced yeedi K650 with eufy RoboVac 25C as ‘Best Budget Robot Vacuum Cleaner’ due to current availability. Unfortunately, despite the presence of a high-efficiency E11 filter, it does a terrible job of sealing in fine particles, which are blown clean out of its LIDAR sensor.
