Features and Performance
Here is a more detailed overview of some of the key features of the Dyad Pro Combo and how well they work:
5-in-1 Versatile Cleaning
The Dyad Pro Combo justifies its steep price tag by offering unmatched versatility for whole home cleaning. It can handle just about any dry and wet mess thanks to its 5 interchangeable cleaning heads:
1. Wet/Dry Cleaner Head
The unique selling point of the Dyad Pro Combo. It allows vacuuming and mopping simultaneously with its rotating brush rolls and water/detergent dispensing system. The large cleaning head glides smoothly and has enough downforce to dislodge stubborn dried liquid stains.
You simply fill the 820ml clean water tank with water and detergent, attach the cleaning head, lower it to the floor and start vacuuming. The water and detergent mixture is automatically dispensed onto the floor surface. Rotating brush rolls loosen up dirt which gets sucked up instantly along with the dirty water into the 550ml dirty water collection tank.
It leaves floors sparkling clean by delivering both sweeping and mop-like scrubbing action. Hard floors are left almost dry within minutes.
2. Multi-Surface Brush
This motorized brush roll is perfect for cleaning carpets, rugs, upholstery etc. It agitates embedded debris with its bristles which then gets sucked up efficiently.
We found it worked better on low to medium pile carpets compared to thicker plush ones. But even then, it picked up a decent amount of dry debris like crumbs and dust.
3. Motorized Mini Brush
Ideal for removing pet hair or cleaning fabric surfaces like sofas, mattresses, curtains etc. The mini motorized brush spins rapidly to dislodge and suck up fine debris.
4. 2-in-1 Crevice + Dusting Brush
It can switch between a crevice tool for cleaning tight spaces like sofa corners or a soft dusting brush for delicate surfaces.
5. Charging Dock
Doubles up as a wall mountable charging dock to store all the attachments when not in use.
Long Battery Life
The Dyad Pro Combo is designed for large homes with lots of floors. It packs a sizable 6,400 mAh lithium polymer battery that delivers up to 75 minutes of fade-free power.
We used it in a 3 bedroom apartment with hardwood floors and some area rugs. It managed to clean for just over 60 minutes before needing a recharge – which is still very impressive battery life.
The battery cannot be replaced and is instead designed to last up to 500 charge cycles. But Roborock provides a 1 year warranty which should give peace of mind.
Charging the vacuum fully takes around 5 hours. But fast charging for 30 minutes tops up the battery sufficiently for quick daily cleaning sessions.
Self-Cleaning and Drying
One hassle with wet/dry vacuums is the need to manually rinse and dry the brush rolls. But Roborock has an ingenious solution with its self-cleaning and drying system.
After wet cleaning, simply empty the dirty water tank and fill the clean water tank. Reattach the wet cleaning head without lowering to the floor. Now turn on the vacuum and let it run for about a minute.
This spins the brush rolls and flushes them out with clean water. The integrated squeegees wipe the rolls almost dry.
Next comes the drying cycle. The vacuum internally heats up air and blows it over the brushes for 3 minutes. This completely dries out the brush rolls, preventing any odors or mold build up.
The entire self-cleaning and drying procedure takes just 5 minutes of hands-free operation.
Edge-to-Edge Cleaning
Traditional robot vacuum style brush rolls often fail to reach wall edges leaving dirt accumulation over time.
Roborock has cleverly solved this issue on the Dyad Pro Combo. It uses two smaller rear wheels along with a full width front roller. So the brush assembly extends edge to edge allowing it to thoroughly clean along baseboards and flush walls.
Smart Sensors and Display
The Dyad Pro Combo has plenty of brains to match its brawn thanks to its built-in sensors and LED display.
It uses infrared sensors that continuously scan ahead to detect large debris. This triggers a boost in suction power to tackle tougher messes.
Its unique DirTect technology uses conductivity sensors to detect dirt levels on hard floors. It then displays this data on the integrated LED panel and adjusts water flow as needed.
So, as you pass over a particularly dirty area, you’ll see the LED dirt levels spike up. This allows you to slow down and let the Dyad spend more time agitating and cleaning heavily soiled areas.
Overall, these sensors optimize cleaning effectiveness and reduce water and detergent usage. They make the cleaning experience more intuitive.
Assessment of Cleaning Performance
Now let’s address the key question with any vacuum – how well does the Roborock Dyad Pro Combo actually clean in real world conditions?
Overall, we found its cleaning abilities excellent considering its cordless design and price point. It could give many premium full-sized corded vacuums a run for their money.
On hard bare floors, it picked up all visible debris in a single pass when using the wet/dry cleaner head. Its unique counter rotating brush rolls and strong suction leave nothing behind.
It shines when tackling wet spills or dried sticky messes which are effectively scrubbed loose and sucked up instantly. Mopping performance matches a manual operation thanks to its water tank capacity and constant flow.
On carpets, it managed better and more consistent pickup compared to average cordless stick vacuums. The multi-surface brush showed its value by lifting dust and embedded debris from medium pile rugs. It even removed some surprising objects like bobby pins and bits of paperclips caught deep in carpets.
Its handheld configuration made cleaning fabric surfaces like furniture effortless. The mini motorized brush quickly removed pet hair, lint and dander. Hard to reach areas like ceilings fans or the car interior were easily accessed too.
The diverse interchangeable attachments ensure the Roborock Dyad Pro Combo can tackle just about any dry and wet cleaning job inside your home.
Noise Levels
Despite its powerful 82,000 rpm digital motor, the Dyad Pro Combo runs reasonably quietly. Roborock has tuned the motor and airflow to minimize noise.
On the loudest ‘Max’ setting, it registered 70-75 dB on our sound meter held close to the vacuum. While loud, this setting is meant only for short bursts of highly soiled area cleaning.
On normal defaults settings, noise levels are very comfortable 60-65 dB allowing you to listen to TV or have conversations. And the wet cleaning mode runs quieter since water and brush rolls naturally buffer some motor and airflow noises.
Overall, the noise quality is smooth, predictable and consistent. It lacks the annoying high pitched whining or howling sounds some vacuums emit. So the Roborock Dyad won’t drive you or your family crazy even with extended cleaning sessions.
Accessories
The Roborock Dyad Pro Combo comes with a full suite of accessories for diverse cleaning tasks:
- Extra filters – 4 washable sponge filters, 4 HEPA filters
- Cleaning tools – Soft dusting brush, crevice tool
- Cleaning solution – 500 ml bottle concentrated detergent
- Additional brushes – 1 wet mop brush, 1 carpet brush
- Storage bag
- User manual
Note the dock does not accommodate accessory storage besides the main vacuum wand and tube. You’ll need to store brushes and other smaller accessories separately in the included storage bag.
Maintenance
To keep the Dyad Pro performing at its best, periodic maintenance is required like any vacuum. Here are the key tasks:
- Empty Dirty Water Tank – Needs to be drained after each wet cleaning session. Easy to remove and rinse under tap.
- Wash Filters – Foam and HEPA filters should be tapped clean every 2-3 weeks and replaced every 3-6 months.
- Clean Brush Rolls – Use included brush tool to cut hair or threads wrapped around brushes. Self cleaning mode also helps keep them clean.
- Replace Battery – Battery is not user replaceable. Replacement by authorized service after approximately 500 cycles. Battery should last 3-5 years with normal use.
- Overall maintenance is quick and simple for a high performance wet/dry vacuum thanks to useful design touches like self cleaning.
Design and Build Quality
The Roborock Dyad Pro Combo features an attractive design with smart aesthetics. The charging dock has a spaceship-inspired look with LED indicator rings that give it a modern high-tech appeal.
Futuristic Charging Dock Design
The hand vacuum wand and wet/dry cleaning head attach securely using sturdy locking buttons and feel sturdy. The hand vacuum body has a comfortable to grip textured surface and is easier to maneuver than traditional upright vacuums.
Build quality is superb with no loose parts or uneven edges. The plastic feels thick and durable. Basically, Roborock has applied its robot vacuum building expertise to craft a well designed and constructed wet/dry vacuum.
