What kind of sweeping robot is the most practical? 3 well-known brand comparison evaluation

If you're someone who hates cleaning, you might appreciate the invention of a vacuum cleaner. But even that wasn't enough — people wanted something even easier. That’s when the robotic vacuum was born. As a self-proclaimed lazy person, I’ve tried several models over the years, but they all had their flaws. Some got stuck in corners, others scattered dust everywhere, making the situation worse than before.

Fortunately, with advancements in technology, modern robotic vacuums have improved significantly. Many can now clean your home effectively, but there's still a catch. While they may look clean on the surface, they often miss tiny allergens like pollen, mold, and pet hair hiding in cracks and carpets. These particles can still be a problem for those with allergies or sensitive respiratory systems.

Recently, a media outlet tested three of the most popular robotic vacuums on the market: the Dyson 360 Eye, iRobot Roomba 980, and Karcher DR95. They designed a series of challenging tests to evaluate suction power, filtration efficiency, and climbing ability. Let’s take a closer look at how each performed.

**Part 1: Suction Test**

The first part focused on suction performance, testing four different scenarios.

**Level 1: Carpet Suction Test**

In this test, the robots were faced with soda powder sprinkled on a carpet. All three showed some level of suction, but the Dyson 360 Eye stood out. It cleaned the area quickly and thoroughly. The iRobot 980 also did a good job, but it required multiple passes, making the process slower. The Karcher DR95 struggled and needed more power to perform effectively.

**Level 2: Gap Test**

This time, the challenge was increased by placing soda powder in a 0.5cm gap between floorboards. The Dyson 360 Eye, powered by a 78,000 rpm digital motor, sucked up the powder cleanly. The iRobot 980 followed closely, while the Karcher DR95 still had a long way to go.

**Level 3: Mesh Fabric Test**

Adding a layer of mesh fabric made the test even trickier. Surprisingly, the Dyson 360 Eye still managed to suck up all the powder. The Karcher DR95 performed better than the iRobot 980 in this scenario.

**Level 4: Micropowder Test**

For the final test, fine powder (0.3 microns) was spread on the floor. At first glance, all three robots appeared to do a decent job, but under a microscope and UV light, the Dyson 360 Eye stood out. It left almost no residue, while the iRobot 980 had visible traces, and the Karcher DR95 left a smear-like mess.

**Part 2: Filtration Test**

One issue many people overlook is secondary pollution — when a robot vacuum doesn’t filter properly, it can release dust back into the air. This test aimed to evaluate each model’s filtration system.

**Level 1: Color Test**

All three robots were tested using new filters and colored powder. The Dyson 360 Eye performed best, with very little color powder being stirred up. The iRobot 980 and Karcher DR95 both released more dust, especially around the side brushes. After the test, the Dyson filter was the lightest, followed by the iRobot, while the Karcher filter was heavily stained.

The Karcher uses a dual-filter system, which helps trap more dust, but it still allows some particles to escape. The iRobot 980 has a triple-filtration system with high-efficiency filters and advanced rollers, capturing more allergens and small particles. Dyson’s cyclonic separation technology separates large and small particles efficiently, reducing the chance of dust escaping.

**Level 2: Smoke Test**

In another test, cigarette smoke was used in a sealed box to simulate real-life conditions. The iRobot 980 released a lot of smoke, while the Karcher DR95 emitted it slowly, like a humidifier. The Dyson 360 Eye handled the smoke best, with minimal leakage.

**Part 3: Climbing Test**

The final part of the test evaluated each robot’s ability to climb over obstacles.

**Level 1: Stair Test**

When faced with a two-step staircase, the iRobot 980 and Karcher DR95 struggled. The iRobot got stuck halfway, and the Karcher turned around. The Dyson 360 Eye, with its tracked design, successfully climbed both steps without any issues.

**Level 2: Obstacle Test**

In a test with obstacles like bowling pins, the iRobot 980 and Karcher DR95 knocked some over, while the Dyson 360 Eye, thanks to its compact size and advanced mapping tech, avoided them effortlessly.

After going through these rigorous tests, it's clear that the Dyson 360 Eye outperformed the others in most areas. Whether it's suction power, filtration, or obstacle navigation, it proved to be the most reliable and practical choice. If you're looking for a smart and efficient robotic vacuum, the Dyson 360 Eye might just be the one for you.
