Dyson - Spot+Scrub Ai

It’s called the Spot+Scrub Ai (yes they couldn’t properly capitalize AI). It is manufactured by Shenzhen Picea robotics co ltd and is based on the R2 platform which is what the iRobot roomba 705 combo max is based on too. The only thing Dyson put other than the color scheme is the cyclonic autoemptying base station.

Not much hype around it because it's well known to be built by an ODM for dyson. Specifically it's made by Picea robotics on their r2 platform which is shared by a 3i model and the roomba 705 combo. There's almost no actual dyson hardware on it, and early reviews indicate the vacuuming performance is average at best and not anywhere near as good as the previous visnav.

It really is disappointing. They've proven they can make a high performance vacuuming robot. Building upon that while improving navigation and adding mopping would have been incredible. Instead it's a mostly off the shelf design with a bagless self empty dock. It doesn't have the suction, the brushing performance, or the filtration of the visnav.

But when it works, the vacuuming performance is incredible. That vacuuming hardware plus better nav and software would have been the right way to go.
