> 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…
Robot lawnmowers already exist. They aren't cheap, though if you have a significant sized lawn and consider your hourly rate.... Hrmmm... Personally, I don't mind mowing the lawn. Yard work is my "me time" to tune out the world and relieve some stress.
Yes, and computers existed before the Apple II.
No one cares that you enjoying mowing your lawn. It's irrelevant to the conversation.

I've had my Dyson upright for probably nearly a decade now (or at least 7-8 years that I can account for at minimum). It started off as a vacuum for a retail store I owned, and was used every single day for about an hour solid, for about 4 years, until I sold my stores... and has since been my home vacuum being used weekly. I've never had it break down, or any parts fall off, and it still works better than any other…
I have no doubt the Dysons made a decade ago were excellent vacuums. In my experience the ones made the past few years are very much not worthy of the good name.
Although I've had good luck with HP Printers mysef (still own several 4250's higher speed and do plenty of output with high quality) sounds like similar comments I've read about recent HP products.

Do you know which image sensors it uses?
Back then (9 years ago mind!) it was a Sony sensor probably long obsolete now. 1024x1024 res which is shockingly low res but easily good enough for SLAM feature mapping.
It's still a Sony one. No idea which.
Re: Dyson 360 Eye
#136Others 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…
My parents have a DC01, and about a week ago it started making burning smells. Turns out the motor brushes had run out. How many products can you say that you've used until their motor brushes run out? I don't think it's ever happened to me.
I think you've just been unlucky. They have a 5 year warranty anyway for such an event.

I have a Dyson DCO7 which was manufactured in 2001 (my gran bought it and I inherited it). It is literally as good as the day I got it, I recently had to "service" it (removing two foam filters with two clips and run them under the tap is hardly servicing) and that is the only time I've had to do anything to it in over a decade. They cost more but are worth absolutely every penny, they also prove that a focus on qual…
I think you'll be sadly disappointed if you buy a new Dyson. My wife and I bought one about a year ago. It was great for a week, but now suction is average and we are constantly having to remove and clean various filters to get it to work well. I suspect Dyson did use to focus on quality, design and longevity but that a few years ago they started selling quite average vacuums but still charging a premium for their "g…
FWIW, I bought one in Nov 2012 and have been delighted. Not a clogged filter or any other issue in that time. Not saying Dyson's are the best vacuum you can buy but it's not as if your experience here with a later model is unanimous.

Do you primarily have carpet or hard flooring.
Whenever I have predominantly hard flooring, the Dysons work without a fault.
Plush carpet? They're just not up to that task. You need something considerably more heavily built.

Hmm, yeah, why? I haven't reflected on that, so let me do so now: It's super light (a grown man can operate the vacuum and hold a beer with the same hand, while holding a baby with the other arm), and yet it is SUPER powerful (I just leave mine in MAX mode, which only lasts for 6 minutes between recharges -- but that's plenty). It's extremely, unbelievably easy to clean/empty (just push one button while holding it ov…
So what are the cons? For one, it looks ridiculous, like a space weapon from a $300-budget high school sci-fi movie. But hmm that's about it. And that's arguable. It's also probably not as powerful as you think. You can't use the Dyson handheld for vacuum bags, but any "drag a pod" vacuum will probably do the job. I think the spinning bristles really help to pull things of the ground or out of carpet fibres. That sai…
I have one too (DC59). Parent it right, it is pretty amazing (no more "ugh have to get out the vacuum cleaner and plug it in, so much faff"). Only cons are:
* Bin is too small - you have to empty it a few times per clean which kind of sucks (unless you clean every other day or something). It also means the dust sometimes gets stuck in the bin and you have to pull it out. * Bin opening mechanism is a big unreliable.
Battery life and suction are both plentiful. And the hassle of emptying the bin frequently is still miles less than the hassle of getting out and plugging in a corded vacuum.

1. It's been around for a long time 2. I'd like something to put my dishes away and fold my laundry. That's a much bigger step though.
3. Self cleaning coffee-machine is on my list. I don't quite enjoy drinking coffee that comes out of a capsule.
