Dyson has launched the R1 Nurovi Dry, R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry, and R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub robot vacuums. These three models are designed with specific suction capacities and navigation features to manage different home debris and floor transitions.
Why it matters
Choosing between these models involves balancing suction power against specific cleaning needs like hard-floor washing or high-pile transitions. The differentiation allows homeowners to select a device suited to their specific floor layout and debris levels.
The line includes the R1 Nurovi Dry at $550, the R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry at $700, and the R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub at $1,200. The R1 features 21,000Pa suction, while the R3 reaches 30,000Pa and handles 0.79-inch floor transitions.
The players
Dyson
A global manufacturer known for its high-performance vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, and hair care technology.
Costco
A membership-based wholesale retailer that operates as the exclusive retail outlet for the R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry model.
The details
The R1 model employs a dual-channel system where a smaller channel manages fine dust and a larger channel captures bigger debris. Its dock utilizes a cyclonic canister, eliminating the need for replaceable dust bags by separating debris via centrifugal force. Navigation across your home is handled by LiDAR, and the unit is built to traverse floor transitions up to 0.79 inches in height.
Timeline
Dyson officially released the three new robot vacuum models on September 18, 2026.
The Home Front
This release follows the broader industry trend of integrating traditional cyclonic separation technology into self-emptying docks for automated vacuums. It reflects a shift toward higher-capacity navigation systems in the competitive high-end home cleaning market.
Before purchasing, measure the height of your home's room transitions to ensure they fall within the 0.79-inch limit supported by these models. Check the Dyson website for the R1 and R3, or visit your local Costco to find the R2 model.
The takeaway
Selecting the right robot vacuum depends on identifying whether you need basic dry suction or specialized washing capabilities for your flooring. If you are interested in the R2 Wash+Dry model, you must check your membership status at your local warehouse to verify local availability.
