Dyson Nurovi review: the new robot vacuum lineup (R1, R2, R3)

8/ 10$550Dyson

A well-executed premium range: precise LiDAR navigation and UV stain detection on the R3, but at a high price (up to $1,200).

Dyson is refreshing its robot vacuum range with the Nurovi line, now on sale. Based on early testing published by Wired (September 16), three models make up the range.

Three models, three price points

  • Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry ($550): dry vacuum
  • Dyson R2 Nurovi Wash + Dry ($700): vacuum + mopping
  • Dyson R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV ($1,200): adds a UV light to spot stains

Navigation moves to LiDAR

The big technical shift is the move from an HD camera to LiDAR laser navigation, known to map a home more precisely. The base stations keep their canister-style layout, Dyson's visual signature.

Our verdict

Based on published testing, the Nurovi range smartly modernises Dyson's offer with LiDAR navigation and UV stain detection on the flagship model. The price stays high, though, especially for the R3. It's a premium pick for anyone who wants Dyson know-how in robot form.
