The Dyson 360 Vis Nav (the Vis Nav from here on) is a vacuum-only robot in the Budget tier of the floor robots we track at our last check. Its 3.31-star Google Shopping average across 1,171 ratings is the lowest of the four vacuum-only robots in our data, so it suits mainly buyers who specifically want its confirmed HEPA filter and 26-sensor navigation. It is a robot vacuum in the plain sense: the listing confirms a bagless bin, HEPA filtration and voice support, but no mop and no self-emptying dock, and that missing base plus the weak rating is why same-tier Shark models deserve a look first. This review is based on the Dyson 360 Vis Nav listing in our retailer data and its 1,171 Google Shopping ratings as of October 2026. RobotPicks did not test the robot hands-on.
Who Should Buy It — and Who Should Skip It
Verdict: Consider an alternative first. Same-tier vacuum-only rivals beat it on owner ratings, and one of them adds a self-emptying base.
Buy it if:
- You want a HEPA filter. The listing confirms one, and only one other vacuum-only robot in our data lists HEPA.
- You plan to start cleans by voice. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are both listed.
- You want app-based mapping. Dyson advertises 26 sensors, 360° navigation and MyDyson app control.
Skip it if:
- You want reassuring rating evidence. 3.31 on 1,171 ratings trails the Shark Matrix rv2310ae at 3.99 (583) and the Shark Navigator RV2110 at 5 (427).
- You don't want to empty a bin by hand. No dock appears in the listing.
- You also want mopping. It's vacuum-only.
The Shark Matrix rv2310ae fixes the biggest gap: it's a vacuum-only robot in the same tier with a self-emptying base.
The Vis Nav card shows the bagless, HEPA-filtered vacuum-only robot, with no dock listed. Next to it, the rv2310ae pairs LiDAR mapping with a bagless base that holds up to 45 days of dirt, and it rates higher on 583 ratings.
Specs and Features: What's Confirmed and What Isn't
The Vis Nav is a vacuum-only robot. The listing names no mop, no self-emptying dock and no handheld, so "360" refers to its navigation, not to a cleaning station.
| Spec | What the listing says |
|---|---|
| Bagless | Yes |
| HEPA Filter | Yes |
| Assistant Support | Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa |
| Weight | 11 lb |
| Capacity | 0 gal (as listed) |
| Sensors | 26 |
Advertised in the listing: The title makes no claims beyond the model name. The description advertises 26 sensors, 360° navigation, and MyDyson app control for home mapping and cleaning. Treat these as seller claims.
What the confirmed specs mean in practice:
- HEPA filter: HEPA is designed to trap fine particles, so less dust should pass back out through the exhaust.
- 11 lb: This is the weight you carry if you move the robot between floors. The Roomba 105 Vac lists 6 lb.
- 26 sensors: This is a maker count. It tells you how many sensors the robot has, not how well it avoids obstacles.
Not confirmed in our data:
- Suction figure: No Pa or airflow number is listed, so you can't judge carpet pull from the specs.
- Bin volume: "0 gal" isn't usable, and bin size decides how often you empty a robot without a dock.
- Runtime: No battery or runtime figure is listed, and runtime decides whether it finishes larger homes in one pass.
- Obstacle avoidance: Sensors are listed, but cord and pet-mess avoidance is not stated.
- Auto-empty compatibility: The listing doesn't say whether any dock exists for this robot.

Owner Ratings and Value for Money
As of October 2026, the Vis Nav averages 3.31 stars across 1,171 Google Shopping reviews. That is a strong count, so the average is unlikely to move much. Among the four vacuum-only robots in our data, it ranks last:
- Shark Navigator RV2110: 5 (427)
- Shark Matrix rv2310ae: 3.99 (583)
- Roomba 105 Vac: 3.49 (417)
- Vis Nav: 3.31 (1,171)
On price, it sits in the upper part of the Budget tier at our last check. The value conclusion: it's Budget-tier pricing for a well-known brand, but rivals in the same tier out-rate it, and one of them adds a self-emptying base.
The data has no review text, so scan recent 1–3 star reviews yourself. For a dockless vacuum-only robot, look for:
- getting stuck or losing its map
- how often the bin fills
- battery or charging failures
- app pairing trouble
Will the Vis Nav Work in Your Home?
- Allergies — Good fit. The listing confirms a HEPA filter. You still empty the bagless bin by hand, so expect brief dust contact each time.
- Voice control — Good fit. Google Assistant and Alexa are listed. Siri isn't, unlike on the Roomba 105 Vac, so Apple-centric homes should check the app instead.
- Pet hair — Workable. The listing doesn't flag it for pets, and no anti-tangle brush is named. Both Shark vacuum-only models in our data list pet-friendly features. With no dock, heavy shedding also means more bin trips.
- Multi-story homes — Workable. At 11 lb, the robot is nearly twice the listed weight of the Roomba 105 Vac to carry upstairs.
- Carpet-heavy homes — Can't confirm. No surface type is listed, so check Dyson's product page for carpet modes or floor-type detection.
- Hard floors you also want mopped — Poor fit. This is a vacuum-only robot.
Cost of Ownership: Consumables, Parts and Support
Because the Vis Nav is bagless and dockless, there are no dock bags to buy. It's vacuum-only, so there are no mop pads or cleaning solution either. Running costs come down to:
- HEPA filter cleaning or replacement
- the brush bar and any side brushes, which wear over time
Our retailer data has no replacement parts whose titles name the Vis Nav, so no parts are shown here.
Before checkout, verify on the listing:
- who sells and ships it (Dyson or an authorized retailer)
- warranty length and return window
- that the MyDyson app is in US app stores
- that HEPA filters and brush bars are sold for this exact model
Vis Nav vs. Alternatives Worth Comparing
| Model | Type & dock (per listing) | Key listed spec | Owner rating (count) | Price tier | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dyson 360 Vis Nav | Vacuum-only, dock not stated | HEPA filter, 26 sensors | 3.31 (1,171) | Budget | HEPA filtration with Alexa or Google voice |
| Shark Matrix rv2310ae | Vacuum-only, self-emptying bagless base | Base holds up to 45 days | 3.99 (583) | Budget | Pet homes skipping manual bin emptying |
| Shark Navigator RV2110 | Vacuum-only, dock not stated | HEPA filter | 5 (427) | Budget | Basic HEPA robot with top rating |
| Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2 | Vacuum + mop, auto-maintenance base | 10,000Pa; up to 75 days | 4.59 (2,699) | Mid-range | Mixed floors that also need mopping |
The table shows the main trade-off: the Vis Nav carries the most ratings among the vacuum-only models but the lowest average.
Pick the Matrix rv2310ae if you want the robot to empty itself
The rv2310ae is a vacuum-only robot in the same tier with:
- a bagless base that holds up to 45 days of dirt
- 360° LiDAR mapping
- a For Pets flag and Alexa and Google support
- a 3.99 rating on 583 ratings
You give up a confirmed HEPA filter, which isn't in its listing. See our Shark Matrix robot vacuum review for the wider Matrix line.
Pick the Navigator RV2110 if rating evidence matters most
The Navigator matches the Vis Nav's confirmed HEPA filter and adds SmartPath Navigation and a self-cleaning brushroll. Its 5-star average on 427 ratings is the highest of the robots compared here. You give up confirmation of app control, voice assistants and any dock, because its listing is thin.
Pick the L10s Ultra Gen 2 if you'd rather spend more and add mopping
This is a different type: a vacuum + mop robot whose base handles dust disposal, water refilling and mop cleaning, with up to 75 days of automatic maintenance. Its 4.59 rating on 2,699 ratings is the largest count on this page. It moves you into the Mid-range tier, and its listing doesn't confirm HEPA or voice assistants.

Bottom Line: Should You Buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav?
Buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav only if a confirmed HEPA filter and Alexa or Google voice control matter more to you than owner ratings and a dock.
- Shark Matrix rv2310ae: better for most Budget-tier buyers, with a self-emptying base and a higher rating.
- Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2: fits if you can move up a tier and want mopping too.
Before checkout, the most important thing to verify is bin volume, since the listing's "0 gal" tells you nothing and there's no dock. The card shows the current price and seller. To weigh it against Dyson's other robot, see Dyson robot vacuums compared.
