Called the Dyson 360 Vis Nav, it is a shot throughout the bow of the various Robot Vacuum firms out there in the present day.
“A robot vacuum cleaner should not be a novelty,” Dyson Chief Engineer Jake Dyson stated.
“We know there are many frustrations with current robot vacuum cleaners – some have low suction power, or inefficient navigation systems which means that they often get stuck and don’t do a proper job of vacuuming.
“Dyson engineers have centered on growing machines that overcome these challenges and which more and more anticipate our wants, perceive its setting and function autonomously.”
Developed over more than a decade – during which time the company launched a robot vacuum in Japan only – the 360 Vis Nav has a 360-degree vision system which incorporates a camera on top of the robot, along with 26 sensors for obstacle avoidance and mapping your home.
Spinning at 110,000 RPM, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav is capable of suction no other robot vacuum can match – Dyson quotes a figure of “six instances the suction of another”.
The design of the Dyson Robot is also unique.
Instead of being a circular design, it’s more like a capital D with a large traditional vacuum brush at the front of the device.
Simply put, Dyson believes their Robot Vacuum can do as good a job as most traditional vacuums.
What’s missing from the Dyson 360 Vis Nav is any level of mopping capability – something other brands in the market have had for many years, and have improved on greatly.
Another unique feature of the Dyson product is its ability to visualise on a map of your home the level of dust it detects.
This allows you to send the vacuum back for more, or look at why one area might be dirtier than another.
Dyson’s 360 Vis Nav is available from Thursday and will be priced at $2399 in Australia.
