360 Vis Nav

Let me preface this by saying I have never been a fan of Dyson and think a lot of their stuff is massively over priced but their robot vacuum is by far the best I have ever had. Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot vacuum https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/robot/360-vis-nav/blue-nickel The suction power this has is way beyond anything else on the market by massive amounts. When this first came out it was priced way too high and got a lot of bad reviews because of how bad the programming is. The programming has been updated and now it works quite well and the unit can be had for between $250-350 on various sites, woot.com etc. Highly recommend this robot as it does a great job.

I have three shorthair cats and live in an apartment that is mostly medium pile carpet. In my experience vacuums that have rollers with combination rubber and bristles do better at combing pet hair out of carpet fibers than ones with all rubber rollers. A lot of reviewers do pet hair tests by scattering small clumps or individual strands of hair on top of carpet and that's not the whole story in real life. The hairs work their way down into the carpet and it takes aggressive agitation and strong suction to get them out. If carpet performance is paramount, get the Dyson Visnav or if you don't mind used, the Roomba S9+. Older Roombas that bounce around randomly and have the dual rollers with a separate rubber and bristle roller are also great at carpet combing. I keep a 690 around just for that reason even though I also have had newer vac and mop combo robots.

I got a visnav for $350 and as a vacuum this is excellent but it isn't a great robot. It has a bad tendency of getting lost and it tends to get stuck very easily in various obstacles. I'd be hesitant to recommend this unit

Not a complex layout but it is quite large and some areas aren't as well lit as the robot might like. It tends to have issues with returning to the dock and I've noticed that it gets stuck in small spots between furniture. When it is working though it works like an absolute champion, it does navigate much slower than a shark lidar based robot that I ended up returning due to low performance.

I also own 3 and share the same thoughts. It’s absolutely amazing for hardwood floors too. Most other robot vacuums leave a layer of dust on the floors (verifiable with a V15 laser). The fluffy roller and suction of the Vis Nav is amazing.

Depending where you are and possibility to travel, I recently purchased a Dyson 360 Visnav for €700 (€1299 normal price) in Dyson Austria and am over the moon with it.

Mova has issues with Carpets. Mine does aswell. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav is probably the best Vaccume but not a good robot. If you want the best possible carpet cleaning the I think this one will be it if you can live with the shit navigation

Honestly, probably the Dyson 360 Vis Nav; it's lacking in features but has very good carpet cleaning performance. Most other robot vacs currently being sold are lacking in carpet deep cleaning performance, unfortunately.
