One review says Dyson does not include spare rollers, brushes, or other ancillaries in the box.
Replacement and upkeep items are available as kits including brushes, filters, bags, and a roller mop, which helps with long-term maintenance planning.
Positive reviews say it handles thresholds and floor transitions confidently.
Threshold handling is described as capable for typical door transitions, with some reviewers noting it can climb modest height changes without drama.
Design is generally seen as sleek or attractive, even if it is less visually distinctive than older Dysons.
Most reviews like the flagship look, often calling out the black and rose-gold styling and a more squared, modern station design, though the overall footprint is still large for a mop-capable system.
AI and automation are central to the product and generally work, though real-world stain detection is not universally convincing.
App features are broadly considered flagship-level, including mapping, scheduling, room-by-room control, and detailed cleaning settings, though a minority report stability or editing limitations.
Rugs and mixed floor transitions are a strong point in supportive reviews.
Mop lifting helps keep many low rugs and some medium-pile carpets drier during mixed-floor runs, though very plush rugs may still need caution.
Setup is a consistent strength across written and video reviews.
Setup is generally straightforward, but several reviews mention minor hiccups such as Wi-Fi pairing retries, initial docking alignment, or the robot briefly failing to find the base.
Battery life is good enough for many homes, but some tests say it still trails top rivals.
Battery performance is generally adequate for typical spaces and supports recharge-and-resume, but measured efficiency is not best-in-class and max-power modes can drain faster.
Multiple reviews highlight the bagless bin and dock design as a standout convenience.
The dock uses a disposable bag system that can go weeks to months between changes, but the robot’s onboard bin is small in some tests, making the dock more important for heavy hair or debris.
Reviews that discuss build quality largely call the robot well-made or solid.
Build quality is described as solid but not as premium-feeling as some top-tier rivals, with concerns centering on plastics and long-term wear of fixed components.
High-pile carpet results are split sharply, with one review praising deeper-shag boost behavior and another measuring poor dense-carpet pickup.
Low-pile carpet pickup looks middling in the dust-mat test that measured it.
Low-pile carpet cleaning is generally strong for everyday debris and hair, though deep extraction is not always leading its category.
Carpet deep-clean results are generally good but not class-leading in at least one benchmark, landing closer to average when extracting deeply embedded grit.
One lab review reports no noticeable hairballs or tangles in the brush roll.
Comparisons are mixed; Dyson beats some rivals in speed or intelligence claims, but loses to others on cleaning or value.
Compared to pricier flagships, reviews often position it as competitive on suction and especially strong on mopping, with navigation and battery being the main areas where it may trail.
App experience is mixed: some call it intuitive or fluid, while others find it feature-light, patchy, or unintuitive.
Controls lean heavily on the app, which reviewers generally find clear and full-featured, though a few report quirks when editing maps or managing rooms.
Corner cleaning is generally helped by the side systems and shifting brush behavior.
Corner performance is consistently strong, aided by an extending side brush and edge-focused behaviors that improve coverage in tight angles.
One test-focused review says groove and joint pickup on hard floors remains incomplete.
Several tests report strong pickup along trim and into narrow gaps, helping it clean edges where debris collects.
One review specifically highlights Dyson's cyclone-powered dock emptying system.
The dirt-illumination feature is repeatedly framed as a useful aid for spotting debris.
Dirty-water related alerts help prompt tank emptying, but at least one reviewer found the wording confusing at first.
Docking and auto-empty reliability are mixed: some praise the dock design, others report missed emptying or docking struggles.
Docking and automation are strong overall, handling emptying, tank management, and mop care, but a few reviews mention first-run docking alignment issues or occasional base-finding quirks.
Dock-related cleaning and drying noise is a common complaint.
It can remove dried-on stains, but not always in one pass and not every reviewer was impressed.
Dried-on stain performance is a major strength in tests, especially for coffee-type marks, though very large spills can still create messy edge cases near the dock.
One reviewer explicitly says the robot is easy to set up and use.
Ease of use is generally high once set up, with flexible cleaning presets and clear in-app settings that make it simple to choose quick or deep cleans.
Edge cleaning is mixed; some praise wall and skirting-board performance while others say edge pickup lags.
Edge and baseboard cleaning is a standout, helped by extending brushes and an edge-focused roller-mop design that reaches closer to walls than many rivals.
One review says the robot traces room outlines methodically before cleaning rows.
Emptying is convenient when it works, but several reviews mention overflow or docking and evac inconsistencies.
Auto-emptying into a bag and contained disposal are praised, though very large spill cleanups can leave some mess near the dock during the return-to-base process.
Filtration is a weak point in the teardown-style reviews, which question both performance and how clearly Dyson specifies it.
Drying time is generally fast thanks to lower residual water left by the roller system and controlled water delivery.
The brush and roller hardware gets praise for features like a shifting brush bar and V-shaped bristles.
One video test shows sticky liquid messes being picked up very quickly in the cleaned area.
The roller system is repeatedly credited with better handling of wet messes because it can scrub while reclaiming dirty liquid rather than spreading it around.
Carpet hair pickup can be good, but it is not backed by as many reviews as other categories.
Carpet pet-hair pickup is repeatedly excellent in testing, outperforming many combo robots on flattened hair benchmarks.
Hair pickup on hard floors is strong in the reviews that tested it.
Hair pickup on hard floors is consistently rated strong, especially in homes with shedding pets.
Anti-tangle performance is mixed: some reviewers saw little wrapping, while others had to clear hair or use scissors.
Anti-tangle performance is a major highlight, with combing/cutting or active removal features reducing brush wrap even with long hair.
Fine-dust results are mixed across reviews, ranging from excellent lab pickup to poor deep-dust tests.
Hard-floor large-debris pickup is usually strong, especially in real-home crumb and oat tests.
Large debris and everyday tracked-in mess are generally picked up easily, but side-brush scattering can occur with certain medium items on hard floors.
The green light and illumination feature is repeatedly mentioned as useful for spotting dirt ahead.
Hot-water washing and hot-air drying in the dock are repeatedly called out as premium features that help keep the roller mop cleaner and reduce manual scrubbing.
Some reviewers see the dirt-detection approach and floor transitions as genuinely distinctive, while another says it still does not out-innovate the field.
Innovation is most often credited to the extendable roller-mop approach and the dock’s hot-wash/hot-dry automation, which differentiate it from many spinning-pad designs.
One lab review says it can miss a few larger crumbs near bowls or thresholds.
Its height is a recurring weakness, especially under cabinets and furniture.
Low-profile claims are mixed: some reviewers appreciate the flat-top design for furniture reach, while others note its measured height is not dramatically slimmer than many lidar-tower bots.
Maintenance is not fully hands-off; some reviewers call out manual cleanup or weekly checks.
Day-to-day maintenance is mostly hands-off due to the dock, but occasional manual cleaning is needed after unusual messes and some reviewers dislike components that are harder to remove or service.
Positive tests describe the robot as moving smoothly across different floor types and obstacles.
Mapping speed is a major strength, though not every map is perfect or doorway detection flawless.
Mapping and path efficiency are usually rated as solid and fairly fast, but a few reviews report occasional map oddities, less-direct routes than premium leaders, or rare moments of confusion.
Mop lifting behavior exists, but not every reviewer finds it flexible enough in mixed-floor situations.
Automatic mop lift enables mixed hard floor and carpet cleaning in one run, and reviewers generally find it effective for keeping carpets from getting wet.
Mopping is above average overall, especially on fresh sticky messes, but some tests show misses or only partial stain removal.
Mopping is consistently the hero feature, with the roller mop delivering strong stain removal, good edge reach, and better wet-mess handling than many pad-based designs.
Cleaning runs can be quiet enough for normal activity, but dock drying and self-empty cycles are notably louder.
Multiple reviewers highlight unusually quiet operation for a vacuum-mop robot, making it easier to run while people are home.
Obstacle avoidance is one of the more consistently praised robot traits.
Obstacle avoidance is above average with camera and 3D sensing, but thin cables and strings remain a common weakness across real homes.
Heated drying and roller cleaning are described as helping prevent smells.
Odor experiences are mixed: hot-air drying is intended to reduce musty smells, but a few reviewers noticed a temporary plastic or warm-material smell during early use.
Bagless operation is repeatedly cited as reducing ongoing costs compared with bagged rivals.
Ongoing costs are viewed as manageable, with periodic replacement of bags, filters, brushes, and the roller mop being the main recurring expenses.
Day-to-day convenience is a recurring positive theme, with reviewers describing less oversight and lower mental load.
After two months of use, one reviewer says the mop still looked brand new.
Overall sentiment skews positive, but several reviewers stop short of calling it class-leading.
Packaging is often praised for being easy to unbox and more eco-friendly than typical, with reduced foam and less waste, plus protective outer boxing in some cases.
Pet-home suitability is supported by explicit pet-home framing and by cleanup results in homes with cats or dogs.
Reviewers consistently call it pet-friendly, citing strong day-to-day hair pickup and systems designed to keep hair from bogging down performance.
Value is mixed; some say the performance or pricing is justified, while others say rivals undercut it or the price feels high.
Value is frequently framed as strongest when discounted, delivering many flagship features and mopping performance at a lower price than top competitors.
Privacy gets limited but notable mention: Dyson says footage stays on-device, but the app still asks for permissions.
Runtime is usually described as solid to good, with enough coverage for many homes.
Self-cleaning is a clear feature advantage, but roller washing is not flawless in every test.
Self-cleaning behaviors are a core highlight, with automated mop washing/drying and dock-assisted upkeep reducing the need for frequent manual cleaning.
The heated-water and solution system is useful, but several reviewers complain detergent is not included or note design compromises.
Some reviews note the lack of a detergent tank or cleaning-solution system, which may matter to users who prefer mopping with solution rather than water-only cleaning.
One review explicitly says the robot still cannot tackle stairs, making it poor for that use.
Several reviews call the dock and robot bulky and space-hungry.
Roller-based mopping is often praised for avoiding smear and residue.
Streaking and residue control is usually a strength of the roller mop because it leaves less water behind, but a few reviewers notice visible tracks on light floors.
Stuck resistance is strong in some homes, but one reviewer reports it getting trapped under low furniture.
Stuck resistance is good in normal homes but not flawless; cables, strings, and some tight furniture layouts can still snag the robot or trigger recovery events.
Reviews mostly describe suction as strong, though one test-heavy review says it falls well short of older Dyson standards.
Across reviews, suction is repeatedly described as very strong for the class and effective on daily dirt, dust, and pet hair. A few testers note that high power can contribute to side-brush scattering with certain debris on hard floors.
One review warns apartment dwellers and homes with limited floor space to think carefully before buying.
The dock delivers strong automation but takes up meaningful space, so small homes may need to plan placement carefully.
One review notes Dyson's Concierge option for live video support during setup.
Reliability sentiment is mostly positive in daily use, but some reviewers express concern about warranty support or long-term serviceability of non-removable parts.
Under-furniture reach is a clear weakness for homes with toe-kicks, low beds, or low cabinets.
The flatter top design helps it reach under more furniture in some homes, improving coverage where taller lidar-tower robots may miss.
At deal pricing it can make more sense, but at full price some reviewers still hesitate.
Reviewers describe it as a wet-and-dry or do-it-all robot rather than a single-purpose cleaner.
Reviews mention separate clean and dirty water tanks and straightforward tank handling.
The dual-tank dock system is praised for making mopping more hands-free, though refill/empty frequency varies and some reviewers note fill lines or tank access could be clearer.
One hands-on video calls the robot heavy and cumbersome to lift.
