01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry

At $549 the R1 keeps the R2’s navigation and the same 21,000 Pa suction on the same 352 mm chassis. What the lower price removes is wet cleaning, not sensing: the R2 costs more for mop hardware and a washing dock, and both robots map the same way.

Yeedi M14 Plus

The sensors that make obstacle recognition work are a camera and a light in your home: the M14 Plus carries a camera, an LED illuminator and a 3D structured light projector alongside its dToF lidar, and the LED lights the room so the camera can see during runs in the dark.

The station does the mop maintenance, and it is a lot of machine to own: washing the OZMO Roller in 167 F water and hot-air drying it after every run removes the pad chores entirely, at the cost of a station with a water heater, two tanks to fill and empty by hand, and a disposable bag to replace.

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.

Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
Anyone needing mopping in the same device
The R1 has no mop hardware at all. Buyers wanting wet cleaning need the R2 Wash+Dry or the R3 Spot+Scrub UV instead.
US buyers wanting to purchase immediately
No confirmed US ship date or retailer listing existed at launch; UK availability began same-day but the US window trails into later September.
Buyers who want independent verification first
No independent reviews, owner reports, or teardowns exist yet; every published figure so far traces back to Dyson's own launch materials.
Buyers comparing on published 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. Anyone shopping on those numbers has nothing to compare.
Yeedi M14 Plus
Homes where a camera-equipped robot is not wanted
Obstacle recognition on the M14 Plus works from a camera, an LED illuminator and a 3D structured light projector alongside the lidar. The LED lights the room so the camera can see during runs in the dark.
Owners expecting a plumbed-in station
The OMNI Station is filled and emptied by hand. It washes the OZMO Roller from its own clean water tank and collects the used water in a dirty tank, and it empties the robot into a 3 L disposable bag that is replaced rather than emptied.
Multi-floor homes where carrying the robot is impractical
Maps for several floors are stored, but the station lives on one level and the robot has to be carried to the others and back to dock, empty and wash.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
  • Every 90 days: Empty the dock’s 2.6 L 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.
Yeedi M14 Plus
  • Weekly: Fill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank; check the OZMO Roller and the side brush for wound hair.
  • Every 2-3 weeks: Wipe the lidar window and the camera lens with a soft dry cloth.
  • Monthly: Clear the station’s wash tray, and check the dust bag. The station takes a 3 L disposable bag, which is replaced rather than emptied.
  • Every 3-6 months: Clean the robot’s filter and check the water valve for mineral buildup.
  • Annually: Replace the OZMO Roller and the side brush if worn, and the filter if it no longer clears by tapping.
05 Evidence

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.
