    Announcement

    Independent lab testing reported on September 3, 2026 that Dyson had announced a three-model Nurovi robot vacuum family led by the R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV, with U.S. availability scheduled for September 15, 2026. The R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry and R1 Nurovi Dry are separate models. Press coverage reported the same day that Dyson presented the R3 at IFA in Berlin as the most advanced robot vacuum and mop the brand has designed.

    Stain detection

    Independent lab testing describes an AI stain-detection system combining ultraviolet light, AI vision and green illumination. Press coverage describes a multi-stage detection system using an HD camera, green laser lighting and UV light, with on-board AI recognizing nearly 200 types of stains and objects, including cables, socks and pet waste.

    Mopping, suction and dock

    Both outlets describe a self-cleaning microfiber roller fed with water heated to 158°F. Independent lab testing adds that the roller extends about 40 mm toward walls, that Dyson rates suction at 30,000 Pa, and that a cyclonic, bagless dock empties, cleans and recharges the robot.
