So, it drives around your home with WiFi internet access and a 360 degree video camera. Privacy concerns?
> Available for free on IOS and Android platforms, the Dyson Link app allows you to control and schedule how and when your Dyson 360 Eye™ robot vacuum cleans. It enables you to view maps of cleaning progress, even when you're not at home. It activates your 2 year guarantee, automatically downloads software updates and, should you ever need them, provides access to troubleshooting guides. So… A device that’s remotely…
I kid, but it does say "The Dyson Link app may not be available in all markets.", so I'm assuming that it will not require an internet connection to function properly.
Fantastically 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…
I'm normally someone who complains about this, but I didn't notice anything like that with this page. I see a regular scrollbar on the side and scrolling with the wheel happens as it should. What system are you using? PS: Ah, I just noticed that this changes mode when the browser window reaches a certain width. Below that it's quite comfortable to use.
Others have commented similarly, but I just have to say that we've tried various Dysons over the years, and they always start off brilliantly. E.g., we vacuumed a nominally clean bedroom with a new Dyson upright and it was like steam-cleaning, or better, since it was dry--we pulled out a whole container's worth of dirt. But then after 6 mo to a year, they start to fall apart, with (their many internal) joints not sea…
So, the HN comments are pretty much negative. People seem to be overlooking the most important thing. A hugely successful product in this category will be the spark that launches the home robotics revolution. More players, more money invested, etc. I'm really not sure why robots aren't already vacuuming our floors, raking the leaves and mowing our lawns by now.
> I'm really not sure why robots aren't already vacuuming our floors, raking the leaves and mowing our lawns by now I think about this every time I mow my lawn. I had this crazy vision: Take a flatbed trailer and hook up "charging pods". Invest in some robot lawn mowers. This would be fun as they'll probably need to be built yourself. They could have a deck size of whatever (12" ?) with big batteries, solar collector…
It's going to have be really cheap to compete with minimum wage labour. Especially since minimum wage labour is discarded when it goes wrong whereas your expensive robots will need expensive servicing.

Well, I think this already happened. About half the families I know have a Roomba robot vacuum or a knockoff. But it's a big step from vacuuming floors to mowing lawns with sharp blades. I don't personally have a leaf problem, but I would very much like to see a clever window-washing robot. Could be -- would preferably be! -- very slow and small. Something that runs constantly and could go home and charge/clean itsel…

According to the DailyMail, it will cost around £750, or around $1230. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2743185/Dyson...
£750 is normally around $750

Lawn mowing robots have been around for a while already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2_AIWFO77s

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…
You hoover your walls?
