#2Is pricing available yet? I've been thinking about a robot vacuum since I moved into a new house with all hard floors.
Re: Dyson 360 Eye
#3I always thought Dyson was crap, based solely on their obnoxious ads and garish design. Then I bought my wife their cordless upright vacuum for her birthday (I know, I know, but she asked for it).
I was astonished when the vacuum became my favorite piece of tech in the whole house.
We have a roomba that works fine, but it's extremely hard to imagine that I won't buy this thing immediately.

#4Fantastically annoying page design.
Scrolling takes many seconds to just show the next page, with no indication that anything is happening. Just blank blackness.
Then each page requires you to hunt and click little circles with pluses in them, just to show a paragraph or two of copy.
Would it have killed them to just present all the text at once? Perhaps use tabs or some other "normal" solution to the problem of wanting to talk about different aspects of a product? This whole "scroll to begin" paradigm is so annoying, I think the fact that they felt they had to include that little helper just to tell people how to get to the content is an indication that perhaps a better design exists.
Still, I'm glad that there's a robotic vacuum cleaner with better optical bandwidth than humans. I'm sure that's a major selling point in (robotic) vacuums.

I was thinking the opposite - navigates on scroll down as I expected and joy-of-joys it's in the magazine style (that has an actual name I forget), but unlike most it doesn't hijack the back button.

You forgot to include your core argument - why did the vacuum become your favorite piece of tech in the whole house?
EDIT: for the downvote mafia: I genuinely want to know. Not every short comment is a snark.

#8"This unique 360° vision system uses complex mathematics, probability theory, geometry and trigonometry to map and navigate a room. So it knows where it is, where it’s been and where it’s yet to clean."
I hate the "Oh, why don't we use slightly complex words to make the consumers feel impressed" marketing practice. Like when shampoo ads use phrases like "advanced [made-up-word] technology."
Edit: That was a bit grumpier than it should have been. I haven't had coffee yet.

I've had two Dysons and my latest Miele one feels far better. They also seem to get the best reviews, which is what led to this purchase.
