does it pick up fine dirt

It stirs the dirt up and sucks it through a fabric filter. I find that some particulates get through. The filters come in various capabilities so get the finest available, 2 microns.

Yes, it picks up fine dirt quite well. There are different grade filter bags that fit inside the Aquabot. I pretty much stick with the "fine" bag all the time and remove any larger debris by hand.

Yes! The filter bag is almost like a cotton mix. The material is such that it will not hardly let anything the robot picks up, through the bag again. It works very well. Just remember to clean the bag out at regular intervals so it doesn't get too full and heavy.

Yes, it is very efficient at picking up dust-size particles. The bag is a fuzzy fabric with a very dense weave. If you have a lot of fine particulate matter, you will need to rinse it out frequently, even though the bag may not be full because the fine matter is clogging the fabric. You can tell when it needs to be rinsed because the bot will slow down a bit. It's easy to rinse, and can be washed in a washing machine. I had extra bags so I could put in a new bag, then rinse/dry the other bag while the spare bag was in the bot.

This is Steve at Aqua Products. Picking up dirt and debris is what this unit does best. It has a filter bag that can filter down to 2 microns so it also helps purify your pool water.

My experience has been that it only picks up & holds small amounts of dirt. I have the same problem with it leaving dirt to resettle after running it. It works great for larger debris, but not so great for dirt which is what I was hoping for too.

Like others have said, dust and small things. It will pick up a dry rice; but mine has some trouble picking up small things. Definitely would not pick up cheese or a baby carrot. On bare floors, it's great at picking up pet hair which is what I use it for, to keep the hair at bay in between "real" vacuuming with a full size vacuum. I've mainly used it on bare floors and it works better with the roller turning (carpet setting).

It picks up a lot of dust but only minimally disperses it into the air. I was amazed of the dirt it picked up after sweeping a spot that I thought was clean.

Since it does raise and lower to the ground, I did use it in my driveway (blacktop) to pick up leaves. It did a nice job - it even picked up some cedar droppings as well, although not as well as the leaves. I found that it also works very well on even ground. For a lot of variation in the yard, I found that if you raise the brushes slightly, it works just fine. This is my new favorite yard tool for the fall!

No, it will not get the stains out. It just picks up dirt and leaves, it does not scrub.

Yes! It does! I go over my floor rugs in my kitchen without any trouble! It won't pick up small pebbles, large chunks of stuff, etc.., which is awesome for me because my daughter plays with monster high dolls and oh boy, all those little things she leaves laying around get thrown out, which is great! My floors are always clean thanks to this dyson!

I use mine everyday for quick pickups on traffic areas and love it. It is amazing how much dirt it grabs. Well worth it!

It will clean normal daily dirt but depending on how long it has been let go, I do not feel it will clean months of dirt, I am sure it would make a difference but do not look for like new!!

I sent mine back because it didn't pick up the sandy dirt. But of you want one I world get the 50. FYI if you buy it and don't like it, don't deal with the company to send it back, amazon makes it so easy to return.

Sort of. It will take the dust off if there are large clumps or bigger areas, but you will need something closer to a Swiffer. Also, the broom head does not come off (at least in my experience) so getting into narrow places is difficult.

Absolutely, I've had this vacuum for two years now and it works as well as the day I brought it home. I have two dogs that track a ton of mud and dirt in the house. I've used this vacuum to handle small gravel, ash from the fireplace, spilt dry food and cereal, etc. I have yet to see it not pick something up. The suction is so strong, I often hold the head an inch or two over stuff and it sucks it right up. You will not be disappointed with this!

I would imagine that they would pick up the dirt. I always did a light sweeping before I used it and it worked really well. If it seems like the padis getting really nasty, just take it off and rinse it out and put it back on to finish up. It works great ffor floors.

This is probably not your best bet. It easily picks up cigarette buts, papers and small rocks but the super fine and more heavier items it will either eat the brush or simply not pick it up.

Mine has managed to vacume fairly thick shaggy mats. Not the best but does do it. Medium pile is fine

Like all vacuums, it depends on what you are picking up- small leaves & general dirt are fine, but anything larger or heavier, not so consistent results. Does not do much to remove pet hair!! I love it for kitchen crumbs & some of those hardto reach places In the house, but results for car debris are mixed

Yes it picks up hair and fine dust,I tried cheaper versions first and wishI saved my money and bought this One first. If you need it for fine dust hair( we have dark hardwood floors) it reallyDoes a great job! And the cordless is great to go where you want however the head is small so it doesn't cover a large area. It may take longer to vacuum the same area
