Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry · Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni

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.

The 81 mm body trades onboard capacity for clearance: the robot carries 55 ml of water, so a long mopping run is broken up by returns to the station, which holds 4 L clean and 4 L dirty.

The station’s dry cycle runs two to four hours at 45C after a mopping run, so the dock is still working well after the robot has finished and parked.

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.

Homes without a permanent spot for the station

The Omni station carries 4 L of clean water, 4 L of dirty water and a 3 L dust bag, and needs a fixed position against a wall near an outlet. Where that space does not exist, most of what this model is sold on cannot be used.

Homes with high-pile surfaces as primary flooring

Suction is 15,000 Pa and Ecovacs' documentation for the machine centers on hard floors and edge work. Pickup on pile is a function of suction, brush agitation and floor contact, none of which a filter change or a firmware update alters.
