Scores: Dyson 360 Vis Nav 7/10 · Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra 9/10

Dyson's 360 Vis Nav leads on carpet suction power, but the lack of mopping and 75-minute battery limit its real-world coverage. Unless you have deep carpet and zero hard floors, Roborock is the more...

Dyson 360 Vis Nav

What works

  • 26W suction is the highest measured input power in any robot vacuum — pulls carpet fiber debris that Roborock misses
  • 360° vision with fisheye camera creates more accurate room maps in low-furniture rooms than LiDAR
  • Square D-shape profile gets into corners that round robots leave unvaccuumed

What doesn't

  • No mopping — the 360 Vis Nav is vacuum-only while Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vacuums and mops
  • 75-minute runtime is short for multi-room homes over 200 sqm — recharge cycles break sessions
  • Camera navigation struggles in rooms with inadequate lighting or very dark floors

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

What works

  • Dock auto-empties, washes mopping pads with warm water, and hot-air dries them — near-zero maintenance
  • 180-minute runtime handles 300+ sqm in a single pass without recharging
  • ReactiveAI 3D avoids dog waste, socks, and charger cables without mapping exclusion zones

What doesn't

  • 10,000Pa suction is lower than Dyson's 26W rated input — on medium-pile carpet, Dyson picks up more
  • $400 more than Dyson 360 Vis Nav — the dock technology carries a significant premium
  • LiDAR sensor (20mm tall bump) prevents fitting under all sub-10cm furniture

Bottom line

Our pick: Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra.
