One review says Dyson does not include spare rollers, brushes, or other ancillaries in the box.
Reviews report a complete kit—dock/ramp, side brush, mop pads, a cleaning brush/tool, manuals, and (in some cases) spare dust bags—so it’s ready to run out of the box.
Positive reviews say it handles thresholds and floor transitions confidently.
Design is generally seen as sleek or attractive, even if it is less visually distinctive than older Dysons.
The square-ish robot and two-tone/shiny-matte styling get favorable comments, and reviewers like the LED accents. The base station looks modern but is fairly large and visually prominent.
AI and automation are central to the product and generally work, though real-world stain detection is not universally convincing.
The app supports mapping, room/zone cleaning, schedules, no-go/no-mop zones, multi-floor maps, and smart behaviors like stain/spot cleaning. Reviewers praise the feature depth and automation, though it can feel like “a lot” at first.
Rugs and mixed floor transitions are a strong point in supportive reviews.
The robot transitions well onto rugs, can lift the mop to keep fabrics dry, and is reported to pull debris from rug fibers effectively in test scenarios.
Setup is a consistent strength across written and video reviews.
Setup is generally described as straightforward: attach the ramp, fill tanks, dock the robot, pair it in the app, and let it map. Printed quick-start guides are repeatedly praised, though the number of in-app options can slow first-time configuration.
Battery life is good enough for many homes, but some tests say it still trails top rivals.
Battery is often cited around 5,200 mAh with auto recharge-and-resume. Runtime varies widely by mode (some note ~90–120 minutes typical, others quote much longer), but most reviewers find it adequate once recharge/resume is enabled.
Multiple reviews highlight the bagless bin and dock design as a standout convenience.
The robot collects debris in an onboard bin and auto-empties into a disposable bag in the dock. Bags are described as large and easy to access behind a front panel, supporting multi-week intervals between changes.
Reviews that discuss build quality largely call the robot well-made or solid.
Perceived build is solid for the price—often positioned above budget models and closer to mid/high-end competitors. Long-term durability isn’t proven, but day-one fit/finish and component access (tray, tanks, bin) are well regarded.
High-pile carpet results are split sharply, with one review praising deeper-shag boost behavior and another measuring poor dense-carpet pickup.
It can clean thicker rugs, but very long fibers/threads (e.g., shag) can still snag and challenge the brush even with anti-tangle tools—expect more monitoring or extra passes on high-pile rugs.
Low-pile carpet pickup looks middling in the dust-mat test that measured it.
No summary yet.
A child lock option (along with toggles like do-not-disturb) is available in the app, which reviewers appreciated for family homes.
One lab review reports no noticeable hairballs or tangles in the brush roll.
No summary yet.
Comparisons are mixed; Dyson beats some rivals in speed or intelligence claims, but loses to others on cleaning or value.
Reviewers compare it favorably to older iRobot/entry models and say it competes with pricier flagships on suction and mopping. It’s generally viewed as a step below the very best in obstacle avoidance and some premium convenience features.
App experience is mixed: some call it intuitive or fluid, while others find it feature-light, patchy, or unintuitive.
UI feedback is mixed: several reviewers find the app well-designed and easy, while at least one found certain layouts confusing despite being tech-savvy. Expect a learning curve if you plan to tweak every setting.
The dock includes built-in cable routing/wrap options that reviewers found convenient for a cleaner setup.
Corner cleaning is generally helped by the side systems and shifting brush behavior.
The robot’s shape and edge-focused mop extension help it reach corners better than many round bots, though some reviewers still wish for an extending side brush for even deeper corner reach.
One test-focused review says groove and joint pickup on hard floors remains incomplete.
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.
Docking and auto-empty reliability are mixed: some praise the dock design, others report missed emptying or docking struggles.
Docking and automatic emptying are widely seen as dependable, with the robot reliably returning for emptying and mop service. App settings let you tune emptying/washing frequency to match your routine.
Dock-related cleaning and drying noise is a common complaint.
The auto-empty cycle can be noisy on higher settings, but some reviewers highlight a quieter/“soft” emptying option that reduces sound at the cost of a longer cycle.
It can remove dried-on stains, but not always in one pass and not every reviewer was impressed.
Reviews report good results on tougher or dried messes, helped by repeat passes, targeted spot cleaning, and hot-water mop-pad servicing through the dock.
One reviewer explicitly says the robot is easy to set up and use.
Once mapped, day-to-day use is mostly press-and-go via presets and schedules. Minor friction points include one-time toggles for max modes/hair-cutting strength and the occasional need to do simple maintenance (tray rinse, pad swap).
Edge cleaning is mixed; some praise wall and skirting-board performance while others say edge pickup lags.
No summary yet.
One review says the robot traces room outlines methodically before cleaning rows.
Edge tracking is repeatedly described as very tight, with the extending mop pad keeping minimal distance from walls for more complete edge coverage.
Emptying is convenient when it works, but several reviews mention overflow or docking and evac inconsistencies.
Filtration is a weak point in the teardown-style reviews, which question both performance and how clearly Dyson specifies it.
Reviews note a HEPA-style filter plus mesh/foam elements that capture fine dust; filters can be tapped out and some parts rinsed, but they need periodic upkeep to stay effective.
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.
Carpet hair pickup can be good, but it is not backed by as many reviews as other categories.
Hair pickup on hard floors is strong in the reviews that tested it.
Anti-tangle performance is mixed: some reviewers saw little wrapping, while others had to clear hair or use scissors.
FlexiRazor hair-cutting and comb detangling reduce wrap significantly and are often cited as best-in-class among comb-style systems. It’s not completely tangle-free with extremely long strands, and some “strong” settings aren’t always-on by default.
Fine-dust results are mixed across reviews, ranging from excellent lab pickup to poor deep-dust tests.
Reviews describe effective pickup of fine dust and dirt, aided by filtration that captures small particles. Routine filter care still matters for consistent fine-dust performance.
Hard-floor large-debris pickup is usually strong, especially in real-home crumb and oat tests.
Large debris (crumbs, cereal, pet food, small bits) is generally handled in one or a few passes, with smart behavior that helps avoid scattering and a strong suction/brush combo.
The green light and illumination feature is repeatedly mentioned as useful for spotting dirt ahead.
Front LEDs help the camera see in dim areas and are also called out as a nice design touch. Light toggles exist in the app on some builds.
Some reviewers see the dirt-detection approach and floor transitions as genuinely distinctive, while another says it still does not out-innovate the field.
Extending edge mop, hair-cutting detangling, and a wash/dry dock are cited as “flagship” innovations at a lower price tier. Missing features like detergent auto-dosing, extending side brush reach, or certain brush-lift systems keep it from being the most advanced option.
When run in quieter modes, reviewers describe it as household-friendly and less disruptive for families, though max-power vacuuming will still be audible.
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.
Maintenance is not fully hands-off; some reviewers call out manual cleanup or weekly checks.
The hands-free dock reduces daily chores (auto-empty, mop washing/drying), but you’ll still rinse the dock tray, replace bags, and occasionally swap/clean mop pads. Compared with the Pro Ultra, the Ultra is often noted as missing a truly self-cleaning dock tray and some fully-automated extras.
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 is frequently described as fast and accurate, with editable room divisions and multi-level support. Cleaning paths are generally systematic (back-and-forth/crisscross options) rather than random.
Mop lifting behavior exists, but not every reviewer finds it flexible enough in mixed-floor situations.
Auto mop lifting (often cited around ~12 mm) helps prevent wet carpets/rugs and enables seamless vacuum-then-mop workflows. Lift height is generally considered sufficient for common rugs and carpets.
Mopping is above average overall, especially on fresh sticky messes, but some tests show misses or only partial stain removal.
Two spinning pads with downward pressure create a scrubby mop action that reviewers say resembles “real mopping” more than basic drag pads. Returning to the dock to wash pads and focusing on stains improves consistency on mixed messes.
Cleaning runs can be quiet enough for normal activity, but dock drying and self-empty cycles are notably louder.
Noise impressions vary: some call it very quiet in normal use, while measured max-power runs are above average and not ideal for TV/nap time in the same room. Noise is highly mode-dependent.
Obstacle avoidance is one of the more consistently praised robot traits.
Object recognition/avoidance is generally strong and can label common obstacles, but it’s not flawless—dark rooms and soft items like socks can still cause issues. Several reviewers say it’s good for the price but not quite top-tier.
Heated drying and roller cleaning are described as helping prevent smells.
Hot-air mop drying (and frequent pad washing) helps prevent mildew and “smelly mop” issues, which reviewers see as a hygiene advantage over simpler docks.
Bagless operation is repeatedly cited as reducing ongoing costs compared with bagged rivals.
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.
Unboxing impressions are positive, with organized packaging and clearly separated parts/literature.
Pet-home suitability is supported by explicit pet-home framing and by cleanup results in homes with cats or dogs.
Pet-focused touches include strong pet-hair handling, anti-tangle cutting, obstacle detection for toys, optional “pet mode” settings, and camera viewing for checking on pets.
Value is mixed; some say the performance or pricing is justified, while others say rivals undercut it or the price feels high.
Consistently framed as a strong value: many reviews call it one of the best feature-to-price options in the ~$600–$700 range, especially given hot-water mop washing and advanced edge mopping.
Privacy gets limited but notable mention: Dyson says footage stays on-device, but the app still asks for permissions.
Remote video/patrol features are praised for utility, and some reviews mention privacy/security certification. Others still flag general concerns about any internet-connected camera, so comfort level and opting out of camera features matter.
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.
Automated mop-pad washing with hot water and hot-air drying is consistently highlighted as a key convenience feature, keeping pads cleaner between runs and improving hygiene.
Firmware updates are available through the app. Reviewers note updates as a plus and hope they can refine obstacle avoidance and smart behaviors over time, but there’s no guarantee of major feature expansion.
The heated-water and solution system is useful, but several reviewers complain detergent is not included or note design compromises.
Multiple reviews point out the lack of a detergent/solution tank or automatic dosing—most filling is water-only. Some also note limited fine-grain water-level controls for mopping compared with certain competitors.
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.
Auto washing during/after jobs helps reduce dirty streaks on floors, but residue can accumulate on the dock tray and needs occasional rinsing to keep everything clean.
Stuck resistance is strong in some homes, but one reviewer reports it getting trapped under low furniture.
It usually navigates cleanly, but at least one review reports occasional snagging on socks in dark rooms that requires intervention. No-go zones and better obstacle avoidance tuning can reduce interruptions.
Reviews mostly describe suction as strong, though one test-heavy review says it falls well short of older Dyson standards.
The headline 19,000 Pa suction is repeatedly praised, and reviewers report strong pickup across debris sizes. A few notes suggest performance gains don’t scale linearly with the spec and that non-max modes can feel less punchy than some rivals.
One review warns apartment dwellers and homes with limited floor space to think carefully before buying.
One review notes Dyson's Concierge option for live video support during setup.
Under-furniture reach is a clear weakness for homes with toe-kicks, low beds, or low cabinets.
Despite being slightly taller than some newer low-profile bots, reviewers report it routinely fits under beds, cabinets, and low overhangs to reach debris others 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 dock’s separate clean/dirty tanks are large, lift out easily, and have clear handles/indicators. Capacity is frequently described as enough for multi-day to multi-week mopping, depending on how often you run it.
One hands-on video calls the robot heavy and cumbersome to lift.
