The device promises twice the suction of any other robot vacuum, along with better low-light performance and the ability to detect obstacles. However, it offers less battery life than other models, cleaning for 50 minutes before needing to recharge.

👁️‍🗨️ The 360 Vis Nav uses SLAM tech and recognizes landmarks to navigate around the room.

🦵 The device has an arm that pops out when cleaning against the wall, redirecting suction and picking up dirt that most robovacs usually leave behind.

🔋 It can clean for 50 minutes before returning to the docking station to recharge.

📱 It can be scheduled and monitored using Dyson’s app, which builds maps of the home and cleans efficiently over time.
