Dyson and iRobot compare in robot vacuum performance and value

Comparative testing and market availability highlight the differing strengths of Dyson and iRobot vacuum robots. Laboratory tests indicate that Dyson models generally outperform iRobot products in suction power on hard floors, edge cleaning, and carpet performance. Specifically, Dyson averaged 4.5 stars for hard floor suction compared to iRobot’s 3 stars, and showed significantly better results when cleaning along walls.

However, iRobot remains a competitive option for users prioritizing ease of use, maintenance, and floor-mopping capabilities. For instance, the iRobot Roomba 115 Combo 2-in-1 is currently available on Amazon at a 32% discount, priced at €169.00. This model features 15,000 Pa suction power and LiDAR navigation, designed to vacuum and mop simultaneously for small to medium-sized apartments.
