All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
Where each one suits you.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Bosch Built-in Vacuum… | Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqftthey differ | DependsBosch publishes no runtime or coverage figure, so fit for this size cannot be confirmed yet. | GoodA 120-minute run and saved LiDAR maps cover a compact home comfortably in one pass. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | DependsNo runtime or coverage-per-charge figure exists to confirm a home this size in one run. | DependsThe 120-minute run suits mid-size homes, but Dyson does not state the R1 recharges and resumes, so a single large run can stop short. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsNo coverage figure is published, and the single kitchen station limits reach on large layouts. | DependsNo published coverage figure for homes this size, and no documented recharge-and-resume, so a full clean may take several sessions. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodTwo rotating pads washed at 167°F target hard floors, with 20,000 Pa suction, per Bosch. | GoodBuilt around hard floors: 21,000 Pa rated suction plus an ultrasonic sensor that separates hard floor from carpet. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodBosch says the mop pads lift 9 mm when carpet is detected. | GoodTwin-capture separation and 21,000 Pa rated suction handle low-pile carpet; the brush bar is built to resist hair wrap. |
| High pile / shag | DependsA 9 mm mop lift and no published carpet test leave deep pile unconfirmed. | DependsThe 21,000 Pa figure is a peak Dyson claim with no independent high-pile test, so deep and shag pile performance is unverified. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodVacuum-only robot — matches a vacuum-only need. |
| Light moppingthey differ | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | PoorThis model has no mopping function. |
| Frequent moppingthey differ | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | PoorNo mop at all; choose a vacuum-and-mop robot instead. |
| Upkeep you accept | ||
| Regular upkeep | GoodAbout 15 minutes of upkeep a month. | GoodAbout 25 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Some upkeep | GoodAbout 15 minutes of upkeep a month. | GoodAbout 25 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Minimal upkeep | GoodAbout 15 minutes of upkeep a month, and the dock empties the bin. | GoodAbout 25 minutes of upkeep a month, and the dock empties the bin. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Price, Runtime, Charge time, Noise, Weight.
What the numbers leave out.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Bosch Built-in Vacuum and Mop Robot
The dock disappears into the cabinetry, and so does the option to move or replace the robot without a fitter.
Plumbed water ends tank chores; no independent test has yet measured how well it cleans.
Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
At $549 the R1 keeps the R2’s LiDAR navigation and the same 21,000 Pa suction on the same chassis. What the lower price removes is wet cleaning, not sensing: the R2 adds mop hardware and a washing dock, and both robots map the same way.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Bosch Built-in Vacuum and Mop Robot
- Renters or anyone not refitting a kitchen
- Installation needs a sink base cabinet, a 568 mm niche, a plinth at least 100 mm high and a trained installer, per Bosch.
- Multi-storey homes that want every floor cleaned
- The service station is fixed in the kitchen, so upstairs floors cannot return to it to empty or wash pads.
- Buyers in the United States
- Bosch has announced sales through UK, Irish and Australian kitchen retailers only.
- Buyers who want independent cleaning results first
- Coverage so far is launch news; no outlet has published a test of its suction, mopping or navigation.
- Owners who may want to switch robots later
- One review notes the cabinet integration ties the kitchen to this robot, and swapping it means another professional install.
Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
- Anyone who needs mopping in the same machine
- The R1 has no mop hardware at all. Readers who want wet cleaning need the R2 Wash+Dry or the R3 Spot+Scrub UV instead of this vacuum-only model.
- Buyers who want independent test data before paying
- No independent reviews, teardowns or owner reports exist yet. Every published figure, including the 21,000 Pa suction, traces back to Dyson's own launch materials.
- Shoppers comparing on battery or sound figures
- Dyson publishes run time and charge time but no battery capacity, no sound rating and no onboard-bin volume for the R1, so there is nothing to compare on those numbers.
- Large multi-room homes needing guaranteed full coverage
- Dyson does not state that the R1 recharges and resumes an unfinished map, and no coverage figure for big layouts has been tested, so a single run may stop short.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Bosch Built-in Vacuum and Mop Robot
- As needed: Replace the 2 L antibacterial dust bag in the service station.
- As needed: Refill the detergent for automatic dosing.
- Monthly: Wipe the LiDAR window, camera and structured-light sensor.
- Every 3-6 months: Check the rotating mop pads and side brush for wear and replace them when worn.
- Annually: Have the plinth door and water connections checked, since the station is plumbed into the kitchen.
Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
- Every 3-6 months: Empty the dock’s bin; the dock is bagless and empties the robot after each run.
- Monthly: Clean the Twin-capture debris separator to maintain suction.
- Monthly: Wipe down and inspect the extending side sweeper for hair wrap.
- Every 3-6 months: Clean or replace the robot and dock filters; Dyson has not published an interval.
- As needed: Clear the anti-tangle brush bar of tangled hair and debris.
- Annually: Inspect wheels and sensors for dust buildup.
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
| Robot | Evidence status | Sources reviewed | Last assessed |

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
