TESTED DYSON 360 HEURIST

n Vac off
You’re bound to have
objects that are too
delicate to be given a
passing tap, so mark them
off as areas to be avoided.
Sections can also be set
to be cleaned in a different
way, such as not using the
roller bar on a thick rug.

n Vac to school
It learns as it cleans, each
time creating a fuller map
of your space... which
explains why we once
found it stuck out on the
balcony, unable to climb
the mighty ledge back
inside after we left the
sliding door open.

n I’ll be vac
Setting it up to clean
rooms when you’re not
there is brilliant – Monday
is kitchen day, obviously.
But there’s nothing more
annoying than getting the
“Your Dyson needs your
attention” notification
when you’ve already left.

n Vac-up plan
Setting zones is dead
easy: just touch where
you want the dividers to
sit on the map and give
each resulting space a
name. You can send it off
to do each one individually
or get it to clean different
ones at specific times.

There’s a single ‘start’ button on top, but you’ll be
controlling your cleaning through the Dyson Link app

Capacity 0.33L
Connectivity Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
Alexa voice control
Run time 75 minutes (quiet mode)
Dimensions 240x230x120mm, 2.51kg

STUFF SAYS HHHH✩
Dyson’s robo-vac tech is
good enough to sweep up
in the UK market – and
the Heurist is really great
at sucking (in a good way)

Tidy app


Tech specs


It can move in erratic ways and is indiscriminate
about what it bumps into, but the level of cleaning
for barely any effort on the part of the owner is
brilliant. If you hate hoovering, the extra cash over
a Dyson V11 seems like a reasonable investment.
We only wish it held a bit more dirt in the bin and included the
option of telling Siri or Google to start a clean.

Playing with the noise
There are three cleaning modes to
choose from: Quiet, High and Max.
Set it off on Quiet and it’ll cover a
decent area at a fairly acceptable
noise level – bump your music
up a little and it’s pretty easy to
ignore. On High and Max, though,
you might want to be out of the
house. Hello, scheduling!


Love crumbs quickly
Whatever mode it’s set to, the
cleaning results are fantastic and
cast serious doubts over our
previous hoovering regime. Set
it off on full power and you’ll be
emptying the bin for almost every
room it cleans, but in Quiet mode
it’ll happily cover a 40sqm flat in
one load and one charge.

Suck it and see
When the little guy
trundles into a dark
area, eight LEDs around
the camera light up so
it can see into the
blackness.
