While its cleaning pattern wasn’t that efficient, the app documents its path so you can see which spots may need tending to manually. It also lets you set up no-go areas and cleaning schedules easily and the vac responded well to voice control. Instead of mapping out your home, boundary strips will tell this vac where it can and cannot go. It proved reliable on carpet but pet hair did get tangled on the brushes.

A design that’s too tall, a price that’s too high, and a set of features that’s too limited keep us from giving the Dyson 360 Eye our full recommendation. But this robot did give us an idea of the impressive engineering Dyson is capable of, and we fully expect to see better results from future versions. Dyson has been working on a robot vacuum for nearly two decades. The Dyson 360 Eye (MSRP $999) is the result of all that research and testing, and it’s finally on sale in the U.S. That means it’s time to cut through the marketing hype and put the 360 Eye through its paces in our robot vacuum test lab.

The Heurist has dual-band Wi-Fi built in but does suffer from connection issues. Quite often I try and start a clean using the app only to find that communication to the Heurist has been lost. However, even if it doesn’t quite get the job finished the Dyson is clever enough to go and charge itself and then resume the job from exactly where it left off.

Those LEDs are important, as they ensure the device can navigate in the dark — handy if you want your robovac to clean when you’re out or asleep.

Stick vacuums have been popular because of their lightweight and cordless mobility, which makes cleaning less of a hassle than schlepping an upright corded vacuum around. Generally, though, the sticks have served as a secondary cleaner to a full-size vacuum because of their short battery life and relatively weak suction. This makes a reliable addition to any home, proving a consistent cleaner on hard floors and carpet.

Whether that would be a problem in your house really depends on what furniture you’ve got in place and what areas you want cleaned. According to iRobot, it makes 60 navigational decisions per second, and having watched it work through a tangle of chair legs we’re happy to believe it. In practice it works pretty well, although the idea you won’t have to tidy up before the vacuum does its rounds remains farfetched. Our review unit occasionally got stuck on power cables and the odd child’s sock, but we received significantly fewer error/stuck messages than we did from the Dyson and the Miele.
