Facts as the maker states them. A dash means the maker does not name it. Each model’s page gives the source of every fact. Noise is the maker’s own figure, so we do not judge it, and a customer rating only counts from 20 reviews.

What to expect from the Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry

For anyone who only wants to vacuum, has no need for a mop and wants the station to do the emptying, it is worth weighing against a tested model with a self-emptying station.

The Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry is a robot vacuum with no mop, with a bagless station that empties its bin using cyclones. Dyson says the station holds up to 90 days of debris. The robot maps the home with lidar, avoids obstacles with line lasers and edge sensors, and draws up to 21,000 Pa of suction.

A sensor measures how much dust it picks up and raises the suction where the floor is dirtier, and it also boosts the suction on carpet. A side brush extends to reach into corners and along edges, the brush bar is built not to tangle with hair, and it climbs thresholds of up to 0.8 inches. It is 3.8 inches tall, 13.9 inches across and weighs 7.5 pounds. Dyson gives a run time of 120 minutes and a charge time of 6.5 hours.

None of our test sources has tested the R1, so how well it vacuums in practice is still unknown.

Based on the maker's specifications and our price data; none of our test sources has tested this model.

Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry specifications

The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the store we read it from.

Robot height3.8 in

Climbs thresholds up to0.8 in

Runtime per charge120 min

Suction power21,000 Pa

Robot weight7.5 lb

Consumables: no dust bags to buy, the station collects the dust in a bin.

From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 3.9 in of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 9.6 in wide and 9.6 in deep.

Suction and brushes 5 facts

Suction power Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.: 21,000 Pa
Anti-tangle brush A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.: yes
Extending side brush The side brush swings out in a corner or along a baseboard, so the dust there is swept in too.: yes
Carpet detection The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.: detects carpet and boosts suction
Dirt detection A sensor notices where more dirt lies, at the doormat for example, and the robot cleans that patch longer or a second time.: yes

Mopping 1 fact

Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.: no mop (assumed)

Dock 4 facts

Empties the dust bin The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.: yes
Bagless The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.: yes
Dust bag lasts How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.: up to 90 days
Dock size (w × d × h) The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.: 9.6 × 9.6 × 18.9 in (24.4 × 24.4 × 48 cm)

Navigation and obstacles 4 facts

Navigation How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognizes more.: LiDAR turret
Obstacle avoidance How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.: 3D sensor (structured light)
Climbs thresholds up to The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.: 0.8 in (20 mm)
No-go zones How you keep the robot out of a place: a zone you draw in the app, a virtual wall or a magnetic strip on the floor.: zones in the app

Robot 3 facts

Robot height How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.: 3.8 in (9.7 cm)
Robot diameter How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.: 13.9 in (35.3 cm)
Robot weight What the robot weighs. It counts most if you carry it up a staircase every day.: 7.5 lb (3.4 kg)

Battery 2 facts

Runtime per charge How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.: 120 min
Charging time How long an empty battery takes to charge fully in the dock.: 6.5 h

Smart features and warranty 1 fact
