There's no reason to ban someone for having a different opinion than you. Please grow up and just ignore posts you don't like. At the end of the day this is a forum about vacuum cleaners of all things. It's not that serious. All I've seen is you harass this VacuumFacts user cause he likes...

I mean there's still time to fix it. But why would anyone buy one if the motor power is halved still by official release? Might as well just get the new V8 Cyclone.

The new robot vacuum is the first product from them I've seen that outright looks atrocious in every way imaginable. I don't care if they use a third party if the product still looks good. But nothing about this thing looks like it'll clean well like the VisNav did. They've released in...

Yeah it appears they fired the engineers. If that Reddit comment is to be believed. I think they're hoping the consumers are gullible enough to buy the robot just cause it has the Dyson logo slapped on top. What's sad is there are some pretty cool patents from Dyson in the robot space...

What do you mean?

Shame that Dyson would fire good engineers yet allow his son to waste money on their shitty lamps and lights. Sad to watch this company go down hill in real time. I hope this robot vacuum is a financial failure. Maybe they will learn then.

According to this reddit comment, (could be BS of course), but they were working on an upgrade to the VisNav but Dyson cancelled it before mass firing loads of people in the UK. The entire new Robot Vacuum is Picea designed with a Dyson logo on top except for the Cyclone taken from the...

Does the hack involve modifying the cleaner head? So straight suction tools are still worse? Or is it a software thing? It doesn't seem people are noticing the extra battery life over the lower cleaning performance, so i'm hoping Dyson reverses course with an update. I'm seeing a lot of...

Either way the vacuum so far looks not great. I'd love to see data and be proven wrong when it comes out, but the fact that it has those stupid spinning whisker things isn't giving me much hope. I will say being charitable in the early days of Dyson they used to use Wessel-Werk to design their...

It's really stupid that the new robot vacuum has the cyclone on the auto emptying dock but not the actual vacuum like the VisNav. That means the actual vacuuming performance is going to be terrible, it'll just clog and lose suction like other non cyclone bagless systems. Unless there's some...

i basically meant the end of the company for me, sorry, should have clarified. i definitely won't be buying any products from them that are designed by a third party with the dyson name slapped on top. that's a disgrace. what's sad is, it's not just dyson either, both miele and sebo are...

that's a huge shame @ robot, if the picea stuff is true, that thing looks terrible. their robot vacuums were never really their greatest products, but the one benefit they had over others is they genuinely vacuumed carpet well over the competition. this thing looks like it definitely won't do...

Having to do a hack to fix the vacuum is a no go for me. That's indefensible imo and I would be reaming them for it if I made the review. It basically ruins any of the good features the vacuum may have. RIP V16 for me, too bad. Maybe the next one will be better.

So are you saying your previous data was wrong and the vacuum isn't being gimped by the software unintentionally? If that's the case that's a huge shame, and I guess I won't be purchasing it ever. That means without the "hack" the vacuum is objectively a worse performer than the Gen5/V15 at...

Is the current suction performance worse than even a V8 or 10? Also it's weird they're doing a big event tomorrow in Berlin for the new robot vacuum and WashG2. But it's basically been a completely marketing less silent release for the Piston. And they had the event in Japan for the...
