After a lengthy delay, Dyson's first autonomous vacuum cleaner launched in Japan last month, and the first consumer videos are popping up online.
The cleaning pattern is interesting for sure. It basically cleans outward in increasingly-sized square spirals. It divides the floor plan into sections, and outwardly cleans each one. Overall coverage looks pretty damn good. Despite it's hyped "continuous tank tracks," it appears to struggle on the thick rug/pad at first (which almost looks like a huge version of my bathroom mat). It appears to leave beautiful carpet lines, but as its cleaning circumference gets larger, it has to retread, and vacuums again over areas as it crosses the room. The resulting lines aren't nearly as pretty other robots like Neato, and even though its coverage is thorough, it looks more random than it should. Initially the edge cleaning looks awful, but as the robot wraps up, it does a finishing lap around the room, and looks like it gets the edges pretty nicely. This is going to be a vacuum that gets a lot of attention when it hits here next year. Right now it's only out in Japan, and Dyson is price-skimming the product at $1,200.00. I'm anticipating a $999.99 (maybe $1,099.00) launch price in the US next year, and hopefully a price drop within a year. post was last edited: 11/20/2015-11:04] |

I doubt they will be able to sell it for that price, the Roomba and Neato's are much cheaper, and probably clean just as well. Will be interesting to see if it sells at that price point. |
