Our verdict

Dyson's design manager for the range told TechRadar that many people do not trust robot mops with their carpets, and the R1 is built for them. It is the most sensible Dyson robot to buy now, especially at the discounted US price.

What we like

  • Dyson's first robot under £500, according to Ideal Home
  • Simple vacuum-only design means less to maintain
  • Twin-capture brush bar sweeps larger debris towards suction

What to know

  • Expert Reviews called the 21,000 Pa suction slightly underwhelming
  • No mopping at all
  • Too new for independent lab data
