Dyson 360 Vis Nav vs iRobot Roomba Max 715

The Roomba Max 715 is the safer buy for most homes. It self-empties into a sealed bag, has dual rubber brushes that resist hair wrap, LiDAR mapping and obstacle avoidance, and owners rate it very highly. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav has stronger raw suction and a true HEPA filter, but it holds very little dirt, weighs 11 lb, and its 3.3 rating from 1,200 buyers shows a lot of dissatisfaction. Pick the Dyson only if you need HEPA filtration and deep suction on hard floors and can live with frequent bin emptying.

• Choose the Dyson 360 Vis Nav if you want the strongest suction and a HEPA-sealed bin for allergy relief, and you don't mind emptying it often.
• Choose the iRobot Roomba Max 715 if you want hands-off cleaning with a self-emptying dock, tangle-free brushes and reliable mapping in a lighter robot.
