If you’re looking for a robot vacuum, you’ve likely considered the Dyson 360 Vis Nav, a premium vacuum-only robot. I’d like to suggest that, instead, you consider the Switchbot K10+ Pro, a zippy little vacuum that is on sale for $299.99 (50% off) right now, compared to the Dyson's $999.99 price tag.
I frequently read Reddit forums for people shopping for robot vacuums, and I’m generally surprised by two things. First, the number of people who are still looking for a robot that will only vacuum, not mop, and second, that Switchbot almost never comes up in the conversation.

Switchbot K10+ Pro Tower is tiny Credit: Amanda BlumNeither the 360 Vis Nav nor the K10+ Pro are traditional looking robots. The Dyson is U-shaped and sports bright colors. It has a deconstructed look, in gunmetal grey, red, and purple. The Switchbot is a mini robot, only eight inches across. Both designs deviated from the norm to give the robots better access to areas of the home, but despite all the research that I’m sure went into the Dyson’s shape, the Switchbot achieves the goal with more success. Simply, the diminutive size of the Switchbot allows it to make a tighter radius around chair legs and fit into smaller crevices between furniture.
A self-emptying tower is always better than no self-emptying tower

In my review of the 360 Vis Nav, I wrote about how annoying I found the fact that the dock could not stay put, and was often pushed around by the robot attempting to dock. While the dock is smaller than the Switchbot tower, it is garish, with black and white checks that apparently help the robot navigate to the dock. I'd be remiss if I didn't explain that the Dyson robot had the best and easiest canister to empty of any vacuum I'd tried: You hold it inside the trash can, press a button and the dust is yeeted out at warp speed into the can. Still, I'd prefer to not bother with it at all.

Credit: Amanda BlumOne of the charms of the K10+ Pro is that it behaves like a premium vacuum, particularly as you use the app, despite its low price. Similarly, an annoyance of the 360 Vis Nav is that it lacks many features of a premium vacuum, despite costing the same price as one. The Dyson app is, to be sure, beautifully designed with a clean, dark interface. Dyson has set the 360 Vis Nav up to be easy to use, and as such, there simply aren’t a lot of extras. You can set a schedule, decide the power with which the vacuum will work, and create/edit maps. But features like Pin and Go (set a pin and the robot proceeds there to clean) and remote control are absent, as are advanced settings for obstacle avoidance or a camera view from the robot.
Credit: Amanda BlumNeither the 360 Vis Nav or the K10+ Pro are the best vacuums I’ve experienced on a robot. Switchbot’s K10+ Pro has about 20000Pa suction power on board, and Dyson’s 360 Vis Nav has 22000Pa. The K10+ Pro does a perfectly respectable job on micro and medium sized particles and struggles with large particles. What impressed me most was how effective the Switchbot was on carpet, which is where it ended up earning a permanent home in my house. Despite its size, it effectively picks up pet hair, human hair, dust, and most other items left behind and creates vacuum tracks, which soothe my inner clean freak.
An easy choice
If you were going off name recognition or reputation, Dyson is almost unparalleled in the vacuum industry for expensive but value-heavy models that vacuum better than others. I was disappointed in how little that translated to the 360 Vis Nav. In every single way that counts, the Switchbot K10+ Pro beats the Dyson 360 Vis Nav's handily. Even better, it does it for $700 less.
