A few days ago the new Roborock Dyad Pro was introduced. A vacuum wiper who has been allowed to do his work for me lately. Compared to the predecessor (here is our test report), a lot has changed on paper – but also on the floor?
The Roborock Dyad Pro has a suction power of 17,000 Pa. Roborock specifies 260 watts as the nominal power of the 4.5-kilo vacuum wiper, whereby it is in auto mode with a volume of 77 dBA. Roborock has installed a 4,000 mAh battery. It should last almost 43 minutes in Eco mode before it runs out of breath. Then he has to go to the charger for almost 4 hours. It is cleaned in different modes. Here you can choose between Auto, Max, Eco and Dry mode. Behind the automatic is a so-called “DirTec Smart Sensor”.
Roborock states that you can clean the surface over a large area with a distance of 1 millimeter on both sides. For this purpose, the Dyad Pro again has several wheels on the underside. These can then be dried using hot air. Something similar is now being used for the mops of vacuum cleaning robots.
Since it is a suction mop, the Dyad Pro has two tanks. The fresh water tank holds 900 milliliters, while the dirty water tank holds 760 milliliters. The possibility of automatic cleaning agent dosing is new; there is a separate compartment for this on the top of the wiping module. The Dyad Pro can also simply clean your hard floor with water.
The company offers its own cleaning solutions that were developed with Unilever. Do you have to use it? What! Basically, I always put something – and by that I mean little – floor cleaner from the discount store in the tank, or in this model in the dosing area. Also on board: Info LED displays and an app connection. Many manufacturers are doing this now, the LEDs can perhaps be used for modes and battery life, I find the app connection to be nonsense in most cases.
But now:
I affectionately call it “class 7 driving license – irons and other sliding vehicles” when my wife or I are out and about in the house with a (wipe) vacuum cleaner or a vacuum cleaner robot is doing its rounds. A lot of black tiles and only a little carpet can be seen in our basement, so of course dirt quickly builds up there.
After unpacking the Dyad Pro, the first inventory: discreet in color, very valuable and robustly built – in no way appears “ragged”, as is unfortunately the case with many other manufacturers. So charged, fueled and brought into the Roborock app.
I would rate the cleaning performance for a mop as very good. If you don’t know this type of device, I’ll slow you down. If you want to remove ketchup stains that have been there for days, then neither the vacuum cleaner can counter it, nor you yourself – you still have to scrape them away.
I think it’s good that the Roborock Dyad Pro really comes almost to the edge. In our case, however, there are problems in the kitchen because the brush soldering, i.e. the lower part of the Dayd Pro, is quite high and does not come completely under the kitchen counter. But I already know that from all the tests of vacuum cleaner robots, most of them don’t come under the line. So before cleaning, just sweep everything in the middle with a hand broom and then get started. Everything works without streaks.
Mopping is also easy with the Dyad Pro, conservatory, kitchen and more – everything is done in a few minutes. The promised battery performance can be achieved as long as you don’t sweep through the booth in turbo. When it comes to cleaning, there’s a thumbs up, you can’t go wrong with the Dyad Pro. Clean, smooth – good. However, and this has to be addressed, I wouldn’t be able to say whether I’m cleaning with the predecessor or the Pro. Of course, the “new” has more suction power. But did I need them before? This is not the case in our house.
Further points?
As with almost all vacuum wipers, the battery cannot be changed. That’s a shame and probably not very sustainable. For a power cleaning of the house I might have needed a second battery.
You can disassemble the device very quickly to clean it. Which brings us to the point that newcomers should also keep in mind. Almost all vacuum wipers have a self-cleaning mechanism. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do anything anymore. The cleaning mechanism virtually rinses the rollers, dries them, but nothing more. You have to – and I mean that with every device – disassemble the rollers at the bottom. A lot accumulates there. The usual muck of house dust and hair. The same applies, of course, to filters and the dirty water tank.
To this it should be said: It is practical that it has a sieve. If you tip out the dirty water, you can pour it through the sieve so that it doesn’t all go down the drain. For example, shortly before the New Year I had to vacuum up a lot of pine needles and visitor dog hair, which I could then throw in the garbage separately.
Conclusion? Roborock has succeeded in creating a very good vacuum wiper that has so far kept everything it promised at home. It cleans very well and smoothly and is an asset for households with a lot of hard floor space. Ultimately, however, at 449 euros it is more expensive than many other devices that do not really work worse.
