Dyson’s Spot+Scrub AI robot vac sees the mess you miss

Dust-free maintenance Dyson’s new hygienic cyclonic dock might be the underrated hero here. It empties dry debris using powerful Dyson cyclones, stores dirt for up to 100 days, and filters particles as small as 0.1 microns. That means no dusty bags, choking clouds, or constant emptying. You’ll barely need to think about maintenance, while the robot keeps performing at its best. The bottom line If you want a robot vacuum that doesn’t just go through the motions, Dyson’s first AI wet and dry unit promises thorough and hygienic wet cleaning for hard floor types, and powerful suction for carpets. It’s a premium pick at an affordable price for anyone who wants a next-level deep clean, not just dirt-free floors. The connected clean The MyDyson app can help you manage every clean, giving you complete control of the Spot+Scrub for even greater convenience! Easily set up intelligent features, map your home, access room-by-room cleaning modes and schedule cleaning routines, set no-go zones, and more.

Dyson’s new Spot+Scrub AI robot vacuum is a clean freak that vacuums, mops, spots mess you can’t see, and won’t finish the job until any stubborn stains are gone for good! Words Scott Hocking Smarter than your average robot vac Dyson’s Spot+Scrub combines an inbuilt HD camera and AI smarts to visually inspect the state of your floors, identifying over 200 objects, household messes, and hidden grime in real time. Smarter navigation means it can tell the difference between dust, spills, and things that don’t need touching, and adapt its cleaning routine on the fly, resulting in fewer missed spots. This clever vac also avoids obstacles like stray cables, shoes, and toys with split-second timing.

The complete clean machine Dyson’s powerful suction removes microscopic dust, household debris, pet fur, and longer hair strands without tangling, and gets a 35% boost when carpet fibres are detected, while raising the wet roller. When it comes to wet cleaning, traditional robot vacuum mops can spread dirty water around, but Dyson’s hygienic mopping uses a 12-point hydration system that continually washes the microfibre roller on each rotation with clean, heated water – from start to finish. Your floors get a thorough wash, not just a wipe, and the Spot+Scrub can even extend rotating side brushes to clean corners, tricky edges, and around furniture legs. It can continuously clean for over two hours in Quiet Mode with no obstacles. Superior stain detection New stain detection uses optic illumination and AI to find those spills and marks that can be almost invisible to the naked eye. Once it spots a stain, it doesn’t just glide over it and move on – this persistent little robot will check the floor and then clean continuously, up to 15 passes if needed, until the stain is history.
