I tried Dyson’s new robot vacuum – it’s a major upgrade on the old model

I tested its design, navigation, mopping and vacuuming performance - (Steve Hogarty/The Independent)

Dyson has taken another swing at designing a robot vacuum cleaner – and this time, you might actually want to use it. I wasn’t a fan of the company’s Dyson 360 vis nav – a noisy, bulky and expensive purple monstrosity that lacked a mopping function, couldn’t empty itself and seemed to actively seek out obstacles to get stuck on.

With the Dyson spot+scrub AI, the British engineering giant has wisely gone back to the drawing board. The design is much more mature, finally taking the vacuum-and-mop hybrid format seriously, delivering a hands-off machine that promises to wash your floors as aggressively as it vacuums them.
