#12Unreliable, expensive parts, poor design and now they're introducing more technology and robotics!?!
I've owned a few Dyson products - totally horrid. Never again. The only positive think I can say is that their service department sends out parts quickly.

#13So, it drives around your home with WiFi internet access and a 360 degree video camera. Privacy concerns?

#14I 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.
You're in the "dyson love" period. It'll wear off, then it'll be:
a) they go wrong which happens very often with uprights from experience. The hose goes as does the roller belts and the motor. Also on multiple models, the clips on the can are so bad that the moment you detach it from the unit, it pours its suckings all over the floor again. All parts are expensive.
b) they suck the wallpaper off or the floor tiles up causing damage.
c) you do your back in hoovering with the damn things as they weigh so much.
Bought a Numatic Henry and have been happy ever since, and considerably better off.

Is there a way to change the page to English? Unfortunately it's not as simple as changing the URL.
Edit: Clicking the globe icon then changing country. Mine was stuck in Japanese.
Re: Dyson 360 Eye
#16Probably won't even considering buying this vacuum due to the page design. The images didn't load. Jerk scroll. What a mess.
Re: Dyson 360 Eye
#17Fantastically 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 want…
Yes, this is terrible. Don't kill my scroll.

Yeah that page was a joy to use. I think you're browser was probably not rendering it. Looked great on Firefox.

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.
I have to agree with you - Apple also used this style for their Mac Pro page! http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

#20"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 grump…
Unique? Hmmm... for a vacuum cleaner, maybe. For indoor robotics, not so much. It's fairly standard Visual-SLAM.
