Dyson Spot and Scrub AI robotic vaccum evaluation: The god tier of robovacs is right here
The Daily Star’s resident ‘give me all the hoovers because I love a good hoover’ bloke Adam Cailler has tested the latest top-of-the-line invention from Dyson, and it’s incredible
It’s the new gold standard
I have tested many hoovers in my life – and I have finally found the greatest of them all. After weeks of rigorous testing, I can confidently say the Dyson Spot and Scrub AI represents a paradigm shift in automated home cleaning. It takes the familiar vacuum-mop hybrid and elevates it to a truly hands-off, intelligent appliance. If you’ve been waiting for the ultimate smart floor cleaner, this is the new must have for all households.
Right from the start, the experience is incredibly premium. The system boasts an easy set up; within minutes of unboxing the robot and its components, I had it fully assembled, connected, and mapping my home. It works seamlessly with the Dyson app, allowing you to tailor cleaning zones, schedule routines, and monitor the robot’s progress with just a few taps. Whether you have linoleum, hardwood, or stone, it can clean every kind of floor with ease.
The extending wet roller (which has an astonishing ability to extend and retract with precision) aggressively scrubs away tough, dried-on spills, while the impressive vacuum system handles dry debris. Adding to the appeal, Dyson’s own probiotic cleaning fluid is a nice bonus, leaving hard floors genuinely sanitized and smelling fresh.
The AI is a massive step up from previous versions. Powered by dual-laser LiDAR and a high-resolution camera, it expertly avoids everyday clutter like cables, shoes, and stray toys. It never gets lost or stuck , smoothly transitioning from hard tiles to thick carpets. Furthermore, the light on the front is genius, as it now doesn’t get lost in dark rooms
This signature optic light actively highlights hidden dust before sweeping it away. It cleans with speed but also efficiency , maneuvering methodically to cover every inch of your space without repeating itself unnecessarily.
What truly cements this machine’s “god tier” status is its docking station. The self empty and self wash is a great idea, and keeps it spotless with zero user effort. It flushes the roller with hot water and empties the dirt into a signature transparent bagless cyclonic bin. The only minor caveat is the slight oversize base which might be an issue for some.
Housing a large dustbin alongside two generous water tanks, the bulky dock demands a bit of dedicated wall space. However, when you factor in the sheer convenience, that trade-off for total autonomy is well worth the physical footprint.
If you want to invest in a product like this, then this is the one you need – without question.
