Dyson 360 Heurist, the new intelligent robot from Dyson

Dyson is one of the world leaders in home cleaning, and with the Dyson 360 Heurist it aspires (pun intended!) to also compete for the throne in the robot vacuum cleaner segment.

La Dyson brand had in its catalog the Dyson 360 Eye, a robot different from the others, with greater height, motivated by the inclusion of cyclonic technology, which others lacked (until the appearance of the Conga 6090).

The Dyson 360 Heurist maintains the same design line as its predecessor, but improving some of its features, to achieve a more effective and complete robot in all types of conditions.

Although it was presented more than a year ago, now this model finally arrives in Spain, willing to fight in the high range, to the brands that now dominate the market, such as Roomba, Conga or Deebot.

Will Dyson be able to achieve it? We tell you in this extensive analysis.

Dyson 360 Heurist: our review

The Dyson 360 Heurist has obtained a rating of 98 points out of 100. It is a high-end robot vacuum cleaner, with which the British brand, once again, performs a different proposal from other manufacturers.

The 360 ​​Heurist has a very high suction power, thanks to its cyclonic technology Radial Root Cyclone and its powerful digital engine V2.

In addition, smart navigation system, improved compared to the previous model, as well as the design of its nylon and carbon fiber brush, which occupies the entire width of the robot, allow dirt to be efficiently captured with fewer passes, without leaving anything behind.

Box contents

Start up

As usual with Dyson, The brand takes special care not only in the quality of its products, but also in their design and even in their presentation..

The interior of the box offers a minimalist design, with the robot, a futuristic charging base that looks like a laptop, which can be folded using a hinge, the plug and the instruction manual.

There is nothing else, and the small diameter, bright blue robot stands out in the middle of the box, showing a very different appearance from other competing devices.

Recommended Fully charge the robot before using it for the first time. To do this, the charging base is located in a place where there is a free space of at least half a meter to each side and forward.

Although it is an intelligent robot, The brand recommends that the surface be freed from objects (toys, books, cables, etc.) that may represent an obstacle to your progress.

To control the robot, it can be done from the button at the top, although It is recommended to do it through the app, which allows for more comfortable handling and access to a greater number of functions. The Dyson Link app is available for iOS and Android.

How the Dyson 360 Heurist robot vacuum cleaner works

The Heurist becomes a improved version of the company's previous robot, the Dyson 360 Eye. Based on this, it shares many of its characteristics (the design is very similar) but includes some improvements that make it more interesting, maintaining the price (although, high) that the previous version had.

Navigation

The Dyson 360 Heurist has an intelligent navigation system, with SLAM technology based on a 360º camera, capable of capturing images around it, to have complete knowledge of the environment.

In addition, Processing capacity and memory have been improved compared to the Dyson 360 Eye (it has 16 times more, and 8 times more short-term memory). Its powerful Quad Core processors allow you to save and process maps quickly, adapting to the environment and continually improving navigation, to make it more precise and fluid.

The Dyson robot creates quadrants when cleaning the rooms, going through them in a systematic, orderly and efficient way, to finish in less time.

One of the issues that has caught our attention is that Dyson has kept camera-based navigation, has not decided on laser-based technology, which is in principle more precise. However, the British brand has achieved an extremely precise robot, which moves without colliding with furniture or walls.

The 360 ​​Heurist presents some improvements compared to other camera navigation robots, which should be highlighted. 

In addition to the camera, the Dyson 360 Heurist robot vacuum cleaner has eight sensors that provide information to the robot, measuring distances 50 times per second.

In addition to the camera, the Dyson 360 Heurist has eight sensors that provide information to the robot, measuring distances 50 times per second.

Moreover, Dyson has included a ring of LED lights, which solves one of the problems with visual technology, cleaning in low light. Thanks to this lighting system, the Heurist is able to clean without problems in dark areas, both rooms and under furniture or beds, for example.

Dyson bases it on its classic combination of cyclones with the well-known V2 engine, so that it achieves a very high suction power, much superior to other robots (The brand does not provide the figure in Pascals, as others do, although according to some information, it would reach 85 watts of suction air, a very notable figure).

This allows you to achieve a excellent results on all types of surfaces: hard floors, rugs and carpets, and even between the boards of tiles or wooden sheets, places where non-cyclonic robot vacuum cleaners are not able to clean very effectively.

The Heurist shares the Dyson V360 digital motor with its predecessor, the 2 ​​Eye, but some aspects have been redesigned to improve absorption and air flows, so that The suction power of the 360 ​​Heurist is 20% higher than the previous model.

The tank does not have excessive capacity, but Its 0,35 liters are enough to clean a medium-sized or even large home., since the dirt comes out very compacted. In addition, it is very easy to empty, simply removing it from the robot and turning the lid.

Brush

The brush is also another highlight of this robot. It must be taken into account that The 360 ​​Heurist does not have side brushes, like other devices, so its cleaning capacity is based on its impressive power and this brush, which rotates at 1.600 revolutions per minute.

Its studied design combines nylon bristles, which penetrate the fibers to capture embedded dirt, and carbon fiber filaments, soft and antistatic, which help remove fine dust from hard floors.

Another aspect that should be highlighted is that The central brush occupies the entire width of the robot, making the most of the surface, cleaning the entire area through which it passes (many robots have the brush between the wheels, so its width is smaller).

Mobility

Dyson has also “thought outside the box” when it comes to motor skills.. While the rest of the manufacturers opt for more or less large gear wheels, linked to a suspension system, so that the robot advances and overcomes obstacles, the British company has implemented a completely different system in its robots.

Dyson has decided to use tank-type or excavator-type tracks for its robots, as synonymous with vehicles capable of pulling in practically any type of situation.. In this way, the 360 ​​Heurist moves with ease on both smooth and rough surfaces, on tiles with wide bevels or on carpets.

Filtered out

The filtering system is another highlight of this robot. It is worth remembering that Cyclonic technology itself contributes to particle filtering, since it allows solid particles to be separated from the air flow.

In addition, the Dyson 360 Heurist robot vacuum cleaner has two high-efficiency filters, one pre-motor and one post-motor, both washable., for greater comfort and hygiene.

The filters are very easy to disassemble and assemble, and It is recommended to wash it at least once a month. To do this, remove the cover from the back of the robot, and take out the main filter. On the other hand, the tank is removed and the pre-motor filter is removed.

The pre-motor filter is simply washed with cold water under the tap.. Once washed, squeeze to remove excess water.

In the same way, wash the post-engine filter under tap water, shaking it lightly with your fingers, to remove dirt. Next, Allow the filters to dry completely before replacing them., and are put back into the robot.

The filtering system of the new Dyson robot reaches a high level of effectiveness, effectively capturing dust and mite microparticles down to 0,3 microns (a micron is one thousandth of a millimeter), and returning cleaner air.

Autonomy

The autonomy of the Dyson Heurist robot is about 75 minutes, enough to clean a small or even medium-sized home, thanks to its intelligent navigation, which provides high efficiency.

However, has loading and continuation, so if it doesn't finish cleaning, it returns to base and then continues cleaning where it left off.

Depending on the surface to be cleaned and the defined power levels, the app will estimate the time it will take the robot to do the cleaning. (Of course, if higher power levels are chosen, it will take longer to complete the cleaning, and you will have to charge more often).

The Dyson Link app

As with the robot itself, the design of the Dyson Link app is elegant and clean, almost minimalist.. The mobile app is available for both iOS and Android, and is required to access some advanced features of the robot.

Once the app is installed, you simply have to follow the instructions it provides. First, it will ask us to choose the robot model we want to link (the 360 ​​Eye, in gray, or this one at hand, the 360 ​​Heurist, in blue).

We will have to place the robot on the charging base, with it plugged in. (the charging display will flash), and we will also see the Wi-Fi icon flashing. Next, you will have to wait about 30 seconds until the Wifi light on the robot stops flashing.

On the mobile we must have both the Wifi network and the Bluetooth connected. The Dyson 360 Heurist is compatible with both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks, thus guaranteeing maximum connectivity (360 Eye only supports 2,4 GHz networks).

After a few seconds, the app will show the robot it has found. Next, to pair it to the mobile, we bring it closer to the robot and press its central button (the play button). Once paired, we can start working with it through the app.

Mapped

Home mapping must be started from the charging base. When mapping, the brush and suction are stopped, to save battery life and allow larger surfaces to be mapped.

Once the robot maps the home, it can be divided into rooms, or zones, clicking with your finger to draw a division line, and dragging it to place it where it corresponds.

When we have defined the areas or rooms, We can tell you which ones we want to clean, and assign a different power level to each area.

You can name each room or zone that has been defined, choosing from the predefined labels, or choosing "custom." (custom), to give it the name we want.

This robot has three power levels: in Quiet, for lighter cleanings, the robot will make very little noise; High, when a higher degree of cleanliness is required; and Max, for when maximum suction power is needed.

If desired, You can configure the power levels, assigning the one you want to each room, in case you want to clean the areas with the most traffic more thoroughly., like the hallway or the living room, for example.

Once the zones have been defined, you can clean directly by clicking play on the app, or create a schedule, to indicate which days and at what times a cleaning task will start.

It also allows you to create restricted areas, which the robot will not access. To do this, access this section in the app and create a square, which is given the desired size directly on the plane shown.

As a curiosity, you can give the restricted area a name. As is usual in this type of robots, more than one restricted area can be created. These areas will be remembered by the robot in future cleanings.

The 360 ​​Heurist allows you to save multiple maps, so it is very interesting for people who have a home with more than one floor, or if you want to use it to clean more than one house. To create the different maps, you simply have to start cleaning from the charging base on each floor.

Furthermore, the Dyson robot is manageable by voice commands, via Alexa.

Advantages of the Dyson 360 Heurist

Disadvantages of the Dyson 360 Heurist

The biggest "but" that can be said about the device created by Dyson is its price, about 1.000 euros. Although it is on par with some Roomba models, it is also far superior to other high-end super robots from other brands and, furthermore, it is not suitable for all economies.

Furthermore, the robot's great height can be a disadvantage compared to other robots when it comes to getting under furniture.

Opinions about the Dyson 360 Heurist

This robot changed my life. I have children and pets, and my husband and I work full time. It's amazing to have a clean house every day. I had the 360 ​​Eye before, and this one seems quieter and with smoother movements, and a good cleaning pattern.

I'm in love with it, it's a very intelligent robot vacuum cleaner. He navigates my house very well and cleans all surfaces, even around the furniture legs. I am very happy with its suction power, now my floors are always shiny.

Cleans very well, even the edges. My husband had cleaned with the central vacuum, and then the Dyson picked up even more dirt. Works well in low light. I like that it has three power levels, usually clean with the quiet one.

I love the Dyson robot vacuum, it's an amazing little machine in my opinion. It has great suction power, it reaches everywhere and if it gets stuck, it goes back and resumes its path. Thanks to sensors, it approaches obstacles without colliding with them. I also really like the app.

It was very easy to set up the app and get it to work. When the tank was full, I received a notification on my phone to empty it. When he is under the bed, he turns on his light so he can see. It has enormous suction power and cleans very well..

 Dyson 360 Heurist vs Conga 6090

Regarding the price, the one of the Conga It's about half -depending on the offers there may be- the Dyson one.

Both robots incorporate cyclonic technology. Dyson's is more advanced, since it works in a similar way to other vacuum cleaners from the brand, but we do not have data about its suction power. The power of the Conga 6090 es one of the highest on the market, with nothing more and nothing less than 10.000 Pascals.

Regarding the navigation system, la Conga It has a laser system, also complemented by an optical sensor, while the Dyson opts for a camera-based system, for which, however, the British brand has achieved very good performance, which does not detract from that offered by LDS technology.

Regarding functionalities, The Cecotec robot has greater configuration possibilities, in addition to being a 4-in-1 robot, since it sweeps, vacuums, mops and scrubs.

The autonomy of the 6090 is much higher, up to 240 minutes, for 75 for the Dyson.

Dyson 360 Heurist vs Roomba i7+

In this case, Both models have a similar price, around 1.000 euros.

These two robots have characteristics that distinguish them from the rest. The Dyson 360, for its cyclonic technology; the Roomba i7+, because it has the Clean Base, which allows it to empty itself into a container that includes some bags, so you don't have to worry about emptying for weeks (it can take a month, or even more).

Regarding power, the Dyson Heurist is clearly shown above.

Regarding the navigation system, Both are based on a camera, but the Dyson robot is more sophisticated, allowing you to navigate without crashing.

Regarding the functionalities, they are quite similar, and autonomy is very similar, since in both cases it is around 75 minutes.

Dyson 360 Heurist vs Proscenic M8 Pro

In this case, The Proscenic M8 Pro is a much more affordable robot, which can be had for half the price (or even less) than the Dyson.

Like the Roomba i7+, lThe Proscenic M8 Pro has a base that can be emptied by itself., which provides great convenience in this regard.

Its navigation system is laser-based, while the Dyson's is based on a 360º camera.

The power of the Proscenic robot is quite high, 2.700 Pascals, but in this section, even without knowing the real data from Dyson, The British brand's robot seems clearly superior.

The autonomy of the M8 Pro is greater, since it is between 150 and 200 minutes, compared to 75 for the Dyson.
