Why Dyson’s robot vacuum took 16 years, and why it’s headed to Japan first

Laser scanning is the priority, allowing the vacuum to map out its surroundings before proceeding to clean, methodical cleaning is another and room mapping with virtual no-go zones is essential. The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 920 has all of these things and doesn’t cost the earth . With technology progressing rapidly in recent years, the humble robot vacuum cleaner is now the best way to keep your house clean with minimal effort. You no longer need to push a heavy vacuum around your home to keep your floors in pristine condition.

It makes night vacuuming a thing — the darker it is, the more visible the laser. An attachment for carpet includes a cutter to slice up hair, which reduces the need to do maintenance on the head. This vac learns as it goes, mapping out the best way to navigate your home while it cleans. It also returns to the docking station to empty itself mid-clean before continuing vacuuming. It picked up dirt outstandingly and had no trouble with pet hair either. What information is available has come viaThe Verge, which discovered that Dyson had filed details of a new product with the FCC.

There are three key disadvantages of your typical robot vacuum cleaner. The first is that, obviously, it can’t tackle stairs and, similarly, can often have trouble dealing with certain raised floors and furniture. The best robot vacuum for deep cleaning is Dyson’s 360 Heurist (£899). It’s a big improvement on the original Dyson robo vac with increased suction power, the ability to see in the dark and it’s a great performer, especially on carpets that need a deep clean.

Robot cleaners, for example, are a great fit for busy commuters but not for professionals who work from home and would be disrupted by the noise. If you read reviews from tech blogs such as Engadget, Mirror.co.uk and Pocket-Lint the result is pretty much unanimous, the Dyson 360 Eye is the best robot vacuum out there despite of the exuberant price. But do not expect this to deep clean because it does not have the suction power to do so. In my opinion this robot will perform its best on bare floor surfaces. The carbon fiber filaments in the brush roll work best picking up static filled dust and medium sized debris like rice or crush oats.

But that being said, it doesn’t mean you can’t snag a deal here or there. Of course, models with the iAdapt 2.0 navigation do have a navigational advantage over the older models.
