What is happening with Dyson? Their current Dyson 360 vis nav is an amazing robot vacuum if you just want vacuuming and thats it. The full frontal roller, the suction, the mapping (after all the latest updates) is just superb. It's suction and roller is its real claim to fame. Yes it does not have auto empty station or even a mopping function. But if you want a SOLID powerful robot vacuum with the discount $500 it is hands down the best. But I digress....

Why is it that Dyson is outsourcing their Robot vacuums now to the same company that makes iRobot vacuums. You'll notice every claim that Dyson makes is the exact same claim as the iRobots 705 combo. The only difference is the Dyson base station and coloring is off on Dysons version. It has the same sensors, the same stats, everything.

Dyson has just given up on Robot vacuums and to appease the audience they are just deciding that a rebrand of an existing manufacturer is easier then to compete on the general investment AI will take and the general investment of the category as a whole.

It's sad to see because the 360 vis nav was a really amazing leap forward for them and I thought they would want to continue that leap by putting investment. But as James Dyson said he will never make a product that will lose him money. I get it but he has no problem supporting his son's light stand business, vying for Brexit then moving to Singapore right afterwards, and removing almost all US operations worker.

I was one of the people that have been holding out for a deal on the 360 vis nav and got it and am beyond happy with its suction and its current state. I was hoping they would of done more to push for better suction and newer core tech. Instead we get a jet airplane inspired air filter and a weak pencil vacuum that can store even less dirt then the robot vac, and the piston....

Edit:

The more I look the more disappointing it gets for instance it has LESS suction than their current robot vacuum at 18,000pa.
