Dyson's first ever robot vacuum cleans where others can't: 'Blown away'

Dyson has unveiled their first ever robot vacuum cleaner - and unlike most other robot vacuums on the market, it isn't round.

The 360 vis nav is the first robot vacuum on the market with a straight edge, so it can clean the edges and corners of rooms more easily - unlike many circular robot vacuums that can't get close enough to walls.

It uses sensors to detect the edges of a room, then has a side duct that redirects suction to allow it to get rid of dust and debris right up to the edge of the wall. It's very low too, which means it can easily clean under furniture.

An LED light ring helps it navigate in low light, and it has 26 sensors attached to help detect obstacles so it can clean as efficiently as possible without knocking into things.

With six times the suction of any other robot vacuum, it can effectively clean a range of surfaces too. Plus, it's optimised so it can collect different types of dirt, from fine dust right through to larger pieces of rubbish.

The 360-degree camera on top enables the robot to see your whole house, mapping its surroundings as it moves around. The more it maps, the more effective it becomes at navigating your spaces.

Dyson's offering also automatically recharges, constantly monitoring battery levels and returning to the dock to recharge if necessary before finishing the job.

Plus, just like all the other Dyson machines, it has a fully-sealed, five-stage HEPA filtration system to trap dust and seal in 99.99% of microscopic particles such as pet dander.

Customers are seriously impressed with what it can do, too: "We were blown away with how clean our floors were," says one happy user. "It's an awesome vacuum."
