Airflow blowback ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.5The rear exhaust can sometimes blow light debris or pet fur out of the cleaning path when the robot turns, so some fine messes may be pushed aside rather than captured on the first pass.
-
Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 2.0The 360 Vis Nav lacks modern small-object detection, so it cannot actively identify cords or pet messes and instead relies on basic bump-and-avoid behavior and no-go zones to stay out of trouble.

Docking & Auto‑Empty Reliability (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0Docking reliability on the Dyson 360 Vis Nav needs improvement, as the robot often hesitates and struggles to find its dock, eventually returning but in a way the reviewer found slow and frustrating compared with smoother competitors.
