Dyson launches AI robot cleaner that scans your house for stains, self-cleaning super-mop & NINE other hi-tech gadgets

Dyson, renowned for its innovative approach to household appliances and technology, recently presented a remarkable showcase of nearly a dozen new products, captivating attendees and setting a new benchmark for smart home solutions. Among the dazzling array of innovations were an AI-powered robot vacuum that redefines autonomous cleaning, and a high-tech super-mop designed to make floor cleaning a seamless and efficient experience.

Sir James Dyson himself graced the stage in Berlin, highlighting the company's commitment to pushing technological boundaries. With a focus on miniaturization and enhanced performance, Dyson continues to redefine what's possible in the realm of home technology. The star of the show was the ultra-svelte PencilVac, a testament to Dyson's relentless pursuit of innovation.

“We are very keen on making things smaller and smaller, lighter and lighter, while dramatically improving performance,” Sir James Dyson stated, encapsulating the company's design philosophy. This philosophy is evident in every aspect of Dyson's new product lineup, from the compact PencilVac to the intelligent Spot+Scrub AI robot.

The PencilVac, previously available in Japan, is now gearing up for a UK launch, promising to revolutionize the way we approach quick and convenient cleaning. Its remarkably slim profile, measuring just 38mm across, makes it incredibly agile and perfect for navigating tight spaces. To put it into perspective, that’s about halfway across the screen of a modern smartphone.

Despite its diminutive size, the PencilVac boasts a clever compaction system that compresses dust, allowing it to hold five times more than its visible 0.08-litre capacity. This ingenious design ensures that users can clean for longer without the need for frequent emptying, enhancing the overall cleaning experience.

Beyond the PencilVac, Dyson also unveiled several other hi-tech vacuum cleaners, each designed to meet specific cleaning needs. These include upgraded models of existing favorites and entirely new innovations aimed at maximizing cleaning performance and convenience.

The Dyson V8 Cyclone, an upgraded version of the popular 2016 model, is now lighter, more powerful, and offers an impressive hour of continuous runtime. This enhanced performance makes it an ideal choice for quick and efficient cleaning sessions throughout the home.

For those seeking the ultimate cleaning experience, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal is engineered for "the highest cleaning performance" across an entire home. Designed to deep clean various floor types and effectively remove stubborn dirt and debris, it's a powerhouse of cleaning technology.

One of the standout features of the V16 Piston Animal is the built-in crevice tool, eliminating the need for separate attachments when cleaning hard-to-reach areas. This thoughtful design detail simplifies the cleaning process and makes it more efficient.

Additionally, the V16 Piston Animal features a quick-release mechanism for detaching attachments, eliminating the need to bend down. This ergonomic design enhancement improves user comfort and makes cleaning less physically demanding.

Another notable feature is the option to activate the vacuum cleaner with a button, rather than having to hold down a trigger. This seemingly small change significantly improves user comfort, especially during extended cleaning sessions.

The V16 Piston Animal also boasts an impressive dust bin, branded as CleanCompaktor, capable of holding up to 30 days' worth of compressed dust. This large capacity minimizes the frequency of emptying, making cleaning more convenient and time-saving.

For those looking to ditch traditional mopping, the Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene offers a compelling alternative. This lightweight wet and dry cleaner traps dirty water in the cleaner head, ensuring that only clean water is used on your floors.

The Clean+Wash Hygiene employs a special system to prevent dirt build-up and filter clogging, maintaining optimal cleaning performance. Its self-cleaning feature aims to replace traditional mops, promising streak-free floors and a more hygienic cleaning experience.

Adding to its lineup of innovative cleaning solutions, Dyson has introduced the Dyson Spot+Scrub AI robot. This autonomous cleaning robot uses AI to detect stains as it roams around your home, providing targeted cleaning for optimal results. The promise of a robotic home assistant that cleans and mops is increasingly becoming a reality.

Equipped with a green LED light to illuminate the floor and an AI-powered camera, the Spot+Scrub AI robot can recognize nearly 200 types of objects, such as cables and socks. This allows it to navigate and clean around obstacles effectively.

The Spot+Scrub AI robot is designed to repeatedly go over stubborn stains – up to 15 times – until they are sparkling clean. This intelligent and persistent approach ensures that even the most challenging stains are effectively removed.

In addition to its cleaning innovations, Dyson has also introduced the Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact, a brand-new air purifier format designed for quiet operation. This purifier is engineered to combat impure air without disrupting the tranquility of your home.

The HushJet Purifier Compact operates at a remarkably low noise level, reaching just 44dB at full flow and 24dB in sleep mode. This is comparable to the gentle sound of rustling leaves, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable environment.

Dyson has also reinvented some of its classic fan designs, including the Dyson Cool DCF1, now featuring a new Sleep mode and an LCD screen. The Dyson Hot+Cool HF1 Remote Link Pre-Heat fan heater has been upgraded to operate 25% more quietly than its predecessor.

Dyson has also entered the haircare market with the launch of its own haircare range – Dyson Omega Nourishing Range – which includes ingredients grown on the company’s farm. The range is designed to address dry, tangled, frizzy hair with a blend of seven omega-rich oils, including sunflower harvested from Dyson’s Lincolnshire farm. The range includes a hydrating hair oil and a leave-in conditioning spray.

Dyson’s commitment to innovation extends beyond technology, embracing natural ingredients and sustainable practices. By combining farming and beauty, Dyson is creating a unique and holistic approach to personal care.
