Which Dyson Robot Vacuum Should You Buy? Models Compared

For most buyers, the best Dyson robot vacuum is the Dyson Spot+Scrub AI. It vacuums and mops with a self-cleaning wet roller, and it has the stronger shopper rating of the two Dyson models: 3.77 from 2,082 Google Shopping reviews. If your home is mostly carpet, or you want a lower price and a listed HEPA filter, choose the Dyson 360 Vis Nav instead. It is vacuum-only and sits in the lower third of all robot vacuums we list. As of October 2026, our listings carry only two Dyson models, one vacuum-only and one vacuum-and-mop. Card prices are live, and higher-rated alternatives from other brands appear further down.

Our Picks: The Best Dyson Robot Vacuum for Each Need

There are only two Dyson models in our listings, so each one gets a label describing the home it suits.

Best overall for mixed floors: Dyson Spot+Scrub AI

Buy this if your home has a lot of hard floor and you want one Dyson that handles both dry debris and wet cleaning. The listing shows Wet / Dry support, a self-cleaning wet roller, an all-floors silicone brushbar with an anti-tangle brush bar, and automatic suction adjustment. It has 3.77 stars from 2,082 Google Shopping reviews, the highest rating and largest review count in Dyson's lineup. Compared with the Vis Nav, you gain mopping, a listed 0.81 gal capacity and Siri support. You lose a listed HEPA filter and Alexa support. The caveats: it is Dyson's top-priced model, it lists no self-emptying base, and its listed weight is 20 lb.

Lower-priced and vacuum-only: Dyson 360 Vis Nav

Buy this if you want a Dyson for carpets and rugs, don't need mopping, and care about filtration. It lists a HEPA filter, 26 sensors, 360° navigation, the MyDyson app, and works with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Compared with the Spot+Scrub AI, it costs considerably less and keeps the HEPA filter, but it drops wet cleaning. The caveats: its 3.31 rating from 1,171 Google Shopping reviews is the lower of the two Dyson models. Its capacity is listed as "0 gal," so check the real bin size on Dyson's product page. No self-emptying base is listed.

How the Dyson Lineup Is Organized

Dyson's robot lineup in our data has just two tiers. The 360 Vis Nav is the lower-priced, vacuum-only model with a listed HEPA filter. The Spot+Scrub AI is the top tier and adds wet cleaning with a self-cleaning wet roller. Both are listed as bagless, and neither lists a suction figure or a self-emptying base. The upgrade worth paying for is mopping, but only if you have mostly hard floors. Carpet-heavy homes can skip it.

Dyson Robot Vacuums Compared Side by Side

Neither Dyson listing gives a suction figure, so the shopper-rating column carries the most weight here. The table also includes three alternatives from other brands for context.

Model Best for Type Price position Shopper rating (reviews) Self-empty / bagless base HEPA filter Voice assistant
Dyson Spot+Scrub AI Best overall Dyson, mixed floors Vacuum + mop Top 3.77 (2,082) Bagless bin; no base listed Not listed Google Assistant, Siri
Dyson 360 Vis Nav Lower-priced, vacuum-only Vacuum-only Budget 3.31 (1,171) Bagless; no base listed Yes Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa
Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2 (Dreame) Hands-off base, pets Vacuum + mop Mid 4.59 (2,699) Base handles dust disposal Not listed Not listed
Shark Matrix Plus (Shark) Budget self-emptying with HEPA Vacuum + mop Budget 4.04 (1,794) Bagless; empties its own dustbin Yes Amazon Alexa
Shark Navigator RV2110 (Shark) Highest-rated vacuum-only Vacuum-only Budget 5.0 (427) Not listed Yes Not listed

The Spot+Scrub AI is the stronger Dyson on both rating and features. The Vis Nav has the lowest rating in the table. All three alternatives rate higher, and two of them sit at lower price positions.

If you want a Dyson that vacuums and mops hard floors, the Spot+Scrub AI is the one to get.

Vacuum-Only or Vacuum-and-Mop: Which Dyson Type to Get

Dyson's lineup splits evenly: one vacuum-only model (360 Vis Nav) and one vacuum-and-mop model (Spot+Scrub AI).

According to its listing, the combo adds:

  • Wet / Dry cleaning
  • A self-cleaning wet roller
  • An all-floors silicone brushbar
  • Automatic suction adjustment

That suits kitchens, entryways and other hard floors that collect light daily grime.

Some details are missing from the listing. It names no mop-lifting system, no carpet-avoidance setting and no base that washes or dries the roller. If you have rugs between hard-floor rooms, check how the Spot+Scrub AI handles carpet during wet cleaning before you buy.

If your floors are mostly carpet, mopping adds cost you won't use. The Vis Nav, with its listed HEPA filter, is the better Dyson fit. If you want a base that washes and dries the mop for you, Dyson's listings don't show one. Compare options in our roundup of the best robot vacuum and mop combos.

Owning a Dyson Robot Vacuum: Bags, Filters, Parts and Support

Both Dyson models are listed as bagless, so you won't buy dust bags. You will empty the bin yourself, because neither listing shows a self-emptying base.

Ongoing purchases differ by model:

  • 360 Vis Nav: lists a HEPA filter, so expect periodic filter replacements. Its capacity is listed as "0 gal," so confirm the bin size before buying.
  • Spot+Scrub AI: lists a 0.81 gal capacity and no HEPA filter. Its wear parts are the wet roller, the silicone brushbar and the dual side sweepers.

Our listings currently have no Dyson-specific replacement parts, so check part availability directly with Dyson.

Before buying, check on Dyson's official site:

  • The warranty term for robot models, and what it covers
  • Current MyDyson app and voice-assistant support for the exact model
  • Whether replacement filters, wet rollers, brushbars and side sweepers are sold separately
  • How repairs are handled: mail-in, in-store or parts-only
  • Whether the bin size and filter replacement interval are published

Who Should Skip Dyson, and What to Buy Instead

Dyson's lineup leaves three gaps.

You want a hands-off base. Neither Dyson lists one. The Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2 has a base that handles dust disposal, water refilling and mop cleaning, with up to 75 days of automatic maintenance. It also lists a Pet Area Care Mode and has 4.59 stars from 2,699 Google Shopping reviews. See more self-emptying robot vacuums.

You have pets or a tight budget. Neither Dyson lists a pet focus, and nothing in the lineup sits below the Vis Nav. The Shark Matrix Plus lists For Pets, HEPA filtration and sonic mopping, and it empties its own dustbin. It is the lowest-priced floor robot in our listings and has 4.04 stars from 1,794 reviews.

You want a stronger rating. Dyson's two models range from 3.31 to 3.77 stars. The Shark Navigator RV2110 is vacuum-only, lists a HEPA filter and has 5.0 stars from 427 reviews.

How We Picked

Our picks draw on current product listings, spec fields, and Google Shopping shopper ratings with review counts, as of October 2026. We weighed each model on four things: fit for a specific need, evidence from its specs, the strength of its rating, and its price position. This is a research guide, not hands-on testing. Card prices update live. Specs missing from a listing appear as "Not listed" and are never guessed. For the wider field, see our guide to the best robot vacuums across all brands.

Bottom Line: Which Dyson Robot Vacuum to Buy

The Dyson Spot+Scrub AI is the Dyson to buy for most homes. It vacuums and mops, and it has the lineup's best shopper rating. If your floors are mostly carpet, or you want a lower price with a listed HEPA filter, get the 360 Vis Nav. If you want a self-emptying base, a pet-focused model or a stronger rating, the alternatives above fit better.

Frequently asked questions

Which Dyson robot vacuum is best on a smaller budget?
The Dyson 360 Vis Nav. It sits in the lower third of all robot vacuums we list, while the Spot+Scrub AI sits in the upper third. The Vis Nav is vacuum-only but lists a HEPA filter, 26 sensors and 360° navigation. Its 3.31 rating from 1,171 Google Shopping reviews is the lower of the two Dyson models.
Do Dyson robot vacuums need bags?
No. Both Dyson models in our listings are listed as bagless, and the Spot+Scrub AI names a cyclonic bin. Neither listing mentions a self-emptying base, so plan on emptying the bin yourself. Before buying, check Dyson's product page for bin size and filter replacement intervals.
Is a Dyson robot vacuum better than a Shark?
It depends on what you value. Dyson's models list features such as a self-cleaning wet roller (Spot+Scrub AI) and 26 sensors (360 Vis Nav). Several Shark models in our data list self-emptying bases, and the Shark Matrix Plus and Shark Navigator RV2110 have higher Google Shopping ratings at lower price positions. See our Shark robot vacuum guide for the full lineup.
Does the Dyson Spot+Scrub AI work with Alexa?
Its listing names Google Assistant and Siri, not Amazon Alexa. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav lists Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. If you use Alexa and want the Spot+Scrub AI, confirm current voice-assistant support in the MyDyson app documentation before buying.
