However, superior cleaning performance is still available in all our other vacuums. Vacuum-proof the house – Things like socks, pet toys, or other small objects can get stuck in the robot vacuum just as they would in a traditional vacuum. The difference is that you’re not there to pick it up on the fly or go around it, so you need to keep the house more or less vacuum-proofed before the vacuum runs. With that in mind, let me share with you the pros and cons of robot vacuums so you know what to expect if you invest in one. When I agreed to review the Rydis H68 Pro I didn’t consider myself an expert on robot vacuums by any stretch.
Dyson says this isn’t stored or used to inform the vacuum’s next trips – each time it starts up, it starts up completely fresh. But what it does offer is confirmation that your vacuum has covered the area you want it to, since you can see right in the visualization what portions of your floor it managed to clean. The Dyson 360 Eye managed to deliver a better overall clean than my Roomba, which is no small feat because I have a very orange dog which sheds a lot. Pet hair, in volume, is a terrific vacuum challenge, and even though my Roomba has pet in the product name, the 360 Eye beats it hands-down when it comes to dog dander.

Thankfully the S6 MaxV is quick and relatively quiet, although you’ll not want to chat while it’s in the same room. It can cover plenty of ground too and will give an average open plan living room a good clean in just 20 minutes. The product blurb suggests it can detect and avoid objects as small as 5x3cm, so trainers (assuming the laces aren’t trailing), toys, and general clutter can be smoothly navigated. Along with the Auto function, you can manually add boundaries yourself via the app—once a room has been mapped.
Just be sure to look at the competition before you buy, because other brands offer more impressive bots for less. As first reported by the Verge, Dyson filed documents with the FCC that give a sneak peek at what may be the US’ first available bissell crosswave cordless cleaner. The robovac looks like it’ll be called the Dyson 360 Hyperdymium, which likely means it’ll be equipped with the brand’s strongest motor, the Hyperdymium — which you’ll find in the Dyson V11 to the Dyson V15 Detect. More advanced Wi-Fi equipped robot vacuums tend to only require Wi-Fi for certain features linked to a companion app on your phone. These include scheduling via your phone and the vacuum letting you know it has become stuck. Lower-end models often come with a remote control similar to a classic TV remote instead.
