Our Verdict

Roborock S8+/S8

Dyson 360 Vis Nav

The mid-range Roborock S8+/S8 is a better robot vacuum for most usages versus the much more expensive Dyson 360 Vis Nav. The S8+/S8 performs better on all floor types and adds mopping. The basic charging-only dock included with the S8 matches the Dyson's dock, but the self-emptying dock included with the S8+ is more convenient than the Dyson's. The Roborock's suction and airflow come nowhere near the leading Dyson, yet the Roborock S8+/S8 makes up for this deficiency with better pathing and navigation to achieve better performance.
