Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai Self Empty Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Dyson Spot + Scrub AI

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I'm so impressed with the Dyson Spot and Scrub AI. It’s an absolute game changer, especially for busy households. Mopping and hoovering is one more chore you can cross off your list. The machine is powerful and cleans the floor thoroughly, getting right into corners and little nooks and crannies. It leaves your home sparkling clean and fresh. From the kitchen and bathroom to your carpets and rugs, leaving them lovely and fluffy. I love how smoothly it moves in around chairs and tables and other obstacles without getting stuck. The app is easy to use, it allows you to schedule cleaning for any time of the day, to choose individual rooms or to clean the whole house. It's even takes care of emptying the dirty tank and let you know when it needs attention. You have the choice to use hot water to wash your floors which is fantastic. It’samazing to watch it do the jobs for you, saving you time and taking one or more tasks off your list, leaving you to focus on other things, especially when you're working from home. I am absolutely delighted with it. It is a real game changer for any busy home.

Technology is good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although the unit has very good technology, I find that you really need a clutter free home to get the best out of it. You need an area big enough for the docking station to sit and allow the vacuum/wash cleaner to leave and return without any obstacles. I found that the vacuum side sweepers do not reach the base boards in the kitchen or close enough to living room furniture. The vacuum/wash cleaner unit is quite heavy for me to carry up the stairs and down again and that it will only vacuum and will not wash the bathroom floors as the wash function needs to start from the docking station, which for me defeats the object of having the duel action unit? If you have a minimalist home, this unit would be ideal for you, you can map and schedule days to vacuum and wash your floors. The more you use it the quicker the side sweepers will need to be changed. I do like the functions of being able to map areas and schedule times of days to vacuum and wash, also being able to target specific areas for vacuuming or washing on top of your normal scheduled times, when extra cleaning is needed. The filling of the water tank and the emptying of the dirty water tank is very straightforward, as is the emptying of the vacuum dry bin, although, I found I needed to press the release button really hard for the dry bin to open to discard the dirt into my waste bin (it may get easier the more I use it). Overall, if my home were clutter free this unit would be ideal and I could forget about vacuuming and washing of floors and let the unit do it all, but it’s not, and the reason for the 4 star is due to not being able to wash upstairs so it’s back to my other floor cleaner (also a Dyson).

Dyson Spot Scrub AI

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been testing the Dyson Spot Scrub AI for five weeks and I’m really happy with it. It’s given me some much-needed time back, which I really appreciate. I found it easy to set up and simple to use. I will save up and buy one next year - love it thank you Dyson.

Great product

It lives up to expectations from a Dyson product. Easy to use and great results

Great design but has its flaws

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dyson looks very smart, but is quite a large unit to keep somewhere out of the way. I positioned ours in the kitchen, a fairly central position in the house. I wanted it to clean the kitchen, hallway, cloakroom and office which is all hard flooring. The setup of the Dyson was fairly staightforward in mapping the floor layout with all the obstacles like tables, chairs, dog bed, etc. I set it to clean at 1am each morning, alternating between vacuuming and scrubbing the floor. The first couple of times it seemed to work well in vacuuming the floor and then washing it. However, on several occasions, the Dyson app would show that it completed the clean in very few minutes. The app shows where the Dyson had cleaned and it seemed very sporadic, missing out complete areas. This was the same for both vacuuming and washing. I even tested it during the daytime on a manual vacuum and it only did sporadic parts of the kitchen and office. When it did work well, the suction of the Dyson is very good and I particularly like the way it transfers the dry rubbish from the robot to the main docking station so you don't have to empty the robot every time it docks. The storage tanks for the clean and dirty water is great as they are dead easy to empty or refill. I like the way that the Dyson heats up the solution to make it easier to clean the floor rather than using cold water. Other occasions when I've watched the robot do a wash of the floors, it will start close to the docking station, but not finish washing the kitchen, then go to the office which is furthest point, then back to kitchen and go over what it has already done. It would then return to the docking station to clean rollers/recharge, then off again and clean what it's already done, but then not finish the rest of the kitchen. It did not follow any logic for a AI powered robot. One of the most enfuriating things was when trying to connect to the robot when it was docked and the app said it couldn't connect and to try again. I would then press the power button on the robot to then see if it would connect to the app, but no, it would go into a self clean cycle, which effectively stopped it from seeing my phone/app anyway.

Great

I am really happy to have got the Machine really happy

Overall a good clean.

Had the product for just over a month now and overall I’m very happy with it. General cleaning is good, the hot fresh water used on the roller works well on floors and the app is pretty good. This replaced a similar product from another manufacturer which used rotating mop heads that didn’t use fresh water all the time. The Dyson gives a far superior finish although you do have to use the Dyson (or non foaming) solution or it will leave dirty streaks on the floor from the foaming and dirty water tank. If you’ve washed the floor with a mop and general floor cleaner it does cause a foaming issue on the next clean, whilst initially frustrating, I’m now using the Dyson cleaning solution to counteract this. The design is smart, as expected, and easy to empty the dust bin and fill/empty the water tanks. It doesn’t clean corners and edges particularly well, but not many robot vacuums do. One frustration is it does not tell you that the tank is nearly empty or full and if you don’t check and it is, it won’t complete the next clean. I have it scheduled overnight and it’s frustrating when it hasn’t cleaned because the one of the tanks was empty or needed emptying. The tanks are quite small. This is a minor frustration though and wouldn’t put me off buying again.

For the price I expected better

It’s ok, goes through stages of having to take the wet roller out because it says stuck, so clean put it back only for it to say it again. Would I recommend it properly not as it’s very expensive and does not clean overly well.

Stylish & quiet, but struggles in older homes

I love the design of this robot vacuum. It’s incredibly stylish, impressively quiet, and the bagless waste bin is a great feature that’s quick and easy to empty without the ongoing cost of replacement bags. That said, it hasn’t performed well in my home. I live in a 300-year-old cottage with a mixture of hardwood flooring and traditional quarry stone tiles. The AI seems to mistake the natural colour variations in the quarry tiles for dirt, repeatedly cleaning the same darker areas instead of moving on. This drains the battery to the point where it couldn’t even complete cleaning just three selected ground-floor rooms before returning to recharge. The navigation also feels quite chaotic rather than methodical, and when it encounters larger changes in floor level it tends to thump itself over them, which is surprisingly loud given how heavy the unit is. The companion app is another weak point. Even simple adjustments involve navigating through far too many menus, making it more frustrating to use than it needs to be. Overall, this is a beautifully designed, quiet robot vacuum that I think would suit a modern home with consistent flooring, such as carpets or uniform wooden floors. However, if you live in an older property with traditional or uneven flooring, the AI may struggle, and that significantly affects the overall experience.

Vaccum excellent, Mop not quite there yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this for a 4 weeks trial at home. Have been using various Dyson vacuums for 10 years and G1 Wash mop recently. Vaccum function : I love how I can wake up to clean floors each morning. I have a Labrador and I was surprised how well this picks up the dog’s hair. It did get stuck on carpet tassels in the first few days. But it had somehow resolve this on its own. We also took a few days to learn what obstacles the Robot cannot manage… like the legs of our dinning chairs . We resorted to putting them up on the table in the evening for the scheduled 6am clean. Cleaning function : Cleaning with 60deg water is a great add on, as I have natural stone floors which don’t take to detergents or having too much water well. At the end it cleans and dries the cleaning roller which is a great step up from my G1 Wash mop. Down side is whenever the robot goes over the grouts on the natural stone floors, the bumps causes it to spill some water on the floor. I do have to spot them and wipe it up. And it also finds it hard to spot stains . App is fairly easy to use. Took a few days to get used to it. Decided to download the app on IPad as well… bigger screen, easier to see and navigate. I set up the schedules and tasks (how wet I want the mop to be :-vacuum & mop or just vacuum) and let it do its job. Took a few days to learn where the obstacles are, and I set it up in the app as “avoid areas”. The LiDar tech is great at helping the robot recognise the different rooms in the house, especially when I want a targeted cleanup. It took time to “teach” the robot. After a week, we knew where the obstacles were, and put in a place a quick routine of putting away the clutter the evening before our early morning cleaning. After that, the robot ran on schedule without any problems. All in all, really helpful addition if you have a dog that sheds a lot. The price tag is a slight deterrent though.
