Dyson 360 Heurist Robot Vacuum: the GHI verdict

Recategorized yeedi K650 as ‘Best Budget Robot Vacuum Cleaner’ pick. Removed less relevant picks from Notable Mentions, added Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI and eufy RoboVac 25C to Notable Mentions.

As impressive as Dyson’s clever technology is, there are robot vacuums that clean better for less. Instead of mapping out your home, boundary strips will tell this vac where it can and cannot go. It proved reliable on carpet but pet hair did get tangled on the brushes. It was slower cleaning a whole room but did a good job, especially considering its price.

Other robotic vacuums operate on an efficient, hug-the-walls, cleaning-inwards spiral pattern. The Heurist has been designed as a ‘learning’ robot which means that it does not take the simplest route, because it is constantly recalculating it’s distance from walls and furniture. So rather than, say, following a wall for two metres, it will stop and start while it scans the wall every few seconds.

That said, unlike the more powerful S7 MaxV or Ecovacs, it uses only a LIDAR sensor to navigate and has no cameras that allow it to see and avoid low-lying hazards in real-time. shark cordless Machine must be the exact same model number as it appears on Dyson.com and in stock. You can identify the machine serial number on the box or on the product itself.

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.

Recategorized iRobot Roomba S9 as ‘Best HEPA Robot Vacuum For Allergies’ pick. Added Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI as ‘Best Mid-Range Robot Vacuum’ pick. Replaced eufy RoboVac 25C with yeedi K650 as ‘Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner Under $150’ due to current pricing. Removed yeedi K650, Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI, and Narwal T10 from Notable Mentions. Minor article restructuring to better align with user expectations.

If you suffer from allergies and want a robot vacuum to handle your light-duty cleaning needs, the iRobot Roomba S9 is a solid option. Unlike the comparably-priced Roborock S7 MaxV, this premium robot vacuum lacks a mopping system and has a simpler optical sensor-based system that can’t recognize and avoid obstacles in real-time. Still, if you don’t want or need these features and want something better at filtering out allergens, it’s worth a look.

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.

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.

It has an onboard HEPA filter to trap allergens as it cleans and is effective in trapping particles like pet dander. You can also use it to monitor things at home while you’re away by looking through the camera. It can also identify the type of room it’s in based on the furniture and automatically suggest different bissell crosswave cordless cleaning modes for distinct areas, like bedrooms, kitchens, or bathrooms. It performs remarkably well on bare floors and does an okay job cleaning carpets. If you want to spend as little as possible on a robot vacuum and don’t want or need many convenience features, the eufy RoboVac 25C is a good option.
