If you are looking for a robot vacuum, you probably have been considered Dyson 360 Vis NAV, a premium vacuum-keval robot. I want to suggest that you consider switchbott K10+ Pro, a zippy slightly vacuum, which is on sale for $ 299.99 (50% discount) compared to the dyson’s $ 999.99 value tag.
I often read reddit forums for people shopping for robot vacuum, and I am usually surprised by two things. First of all, the number of people who are still looking for a robot that only the vacuum, not the MOP, and the second, the switchbot almost never comes into conversation.
Small size trump smart design

Neither 360 Vij Nav nor K10+ Pro are traditional looking robots. Dyson U-shaped and sports are bright colors. Gunmetal Gray, Red and Purple have its decomposed look. The switchbot is a mini robot, only eight inches cross. Both designs distracted the robot from the ideal to provide better access to home areas, but despite all the researches that I am sure that the switchbot achieved the target with more success. Just, the low size of the switchbot allows it to create a tight radius around the chair legs and fit into small cracks between the furniture.
A self-taske tower is always better than a self-focus tower

Personally, I will require a real good reason to buy a robot vacuum without a self-khali tower-if the point of a robot is autonomous, I can garish me. Switchbott K10+ Pro has such a tower, and just like a robot, it is very small. Nevertheless, it is effective, emptying all debris from the K10+ Pro. The size has made it easier to park the tower almost anywhere; It is currently serving my bedroom and closet, where the dock sits next to, and dwarf is dwarf, a pair of shoes.
Dyson has no tower, instead it is replaced with charging dock. In my review of 360 Vij Nav, I wrote about that I came to know about the fact that the dock could not be kept, and often pushed around in an attempt to do the dock by robots. While the dock is smaller than the switchbott tower, it is garsish, with black and white checks that clearly helps to navigate the robot into the dock. If I do not explain that the Dyson robot had the best and easiest canister to empty any vacuum, I do not tell you that you hold it inside the dustbin, press a button and dust is excluded in the cans. Nevertheless, I would not like to bother with it.

Facilities count, when it comes to apps

One of the attraction of the K10+ Pro is that it behaves like a premium vacuum, especially when you use the app regardless of its low price. Similarly, one of the annoyance of 360 visits NAVs is that despite the cost of the same price, it lacks many characteristics of a premium vacuum. The Dyson app is to ensure that it is beautifully designed with a clean, dark interface. Dyson has made 360 Vij Neva easy to use, and thus, there are not just a lot of extra artists. You can set a schedule, decide the power with which the vacuum will work, and will build/edit the map. But features like PIN and Go (set a pin and proceed to clean the robot) and remote controls are absent, as there are advanced settings to avoid obstruction or camera views from the robot.

While some of those characteristics, such as PIN and Go, are very useful, they are not necessary. However, I have to state that most of the robots in the price range of 360 Vij NAVs will be more. To be fair, the switchbot has a remote control feature (useful when a vacuum gets trapped under a couch), and although it has a lack of pin and go, the switchbot is less than half the price and there are some cool features that I have not seen anywhere else. You can pair the NFC tag with various robot functions, which is clean.
What do you think so far?
Equal in vacuuming process
Neither 360 VIS NAV or K10+ Pro are the best vacuum experienced on a robot. The K10+ Pro of the switchbot has about 20000PA suction power on the board, and 360 visits of Diocen has 22000PA in Vis NAV. The K10+ Pro works perfectly respectable on micro and medium -sized particles and struggles with large particles. I was most impressed how effective the switchbot was on the carpet, where it was earning a permanent house in my house. Despite its size, it effectively overtakes the pet hair, human hair, dust, and most other items and forms a vacuum track, which calms my inner clean cynical.
Conversely, Dyson did great with micro and medium-and-small debris, and struggled anything bigger than the design of the vacuum. The location between the robot and the plastic habitat of the roller that takes the debris into the vacuum is too small to allow anything moderate size or large. The robot also left a good track on the carpet, but struggled to go around easily. Dyson had an advantage, however: K10+ Pro does not have any kind of weapons, but Dyson 360 Vij Neo has a side vent that allows it to get closer to the wall while vacuuming. This was actually the most noticeable on the carpet. Dyson found a lot of dog hair on the edge of the carpet, which was left by Switchbott.
An easy option
If you were going out of the name recognition or reputation, the dyson is almost unique in the vacuum industry for expensive but value-heavy models that are better vacuum than others. I was disappointed with how little it was translated into 360 Vij Neva. In every way that matters, the switchbot K10+ Pro Dyson 360 beats with the hand of the Vij Nava. Even better, it does for $ 700 less.
