The company also unveiled new robotic vacuums.
iRobot unveiled the Roomba Electro Plus, its first manual hard-floor cleaner combining vacuuming, mopping, and disinfecting via electrolyzed tap water. Five new Roomba robot vacuums with enhanced features and lower prices were also launched.
The Verge reviews Dyson's $1,200 Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop, praising its excellent mopping performance, navigation, and multifunction dock, but criticizing its compromised vacuum quality. The core conflict: Dyson's flagship robot uses a third-party motor instead of Dyson's proprietary V10 motor, resulting in worse carpet cleaning than the Vis Nav. While the AI stain-detection feature underperformed in testing, the robot excels at obstacle avoidance and hard floor cleaning.
Dyson's new Clean+Wash Hygiene wet floor cleaner is on sale for $399.99 ($100 off) at Amazon and Walmart. Unlike typical Dyson vacuums, it uses hydration and a four-speed motorized brush bar with nylon bristles to agitate stains and pet hair rather than suction. It features a self-cleaning roller, hot-air drying dock, and can clean up to 3,767 square feet per tank. Additional deals include Google's 45W USB-C charger ($17.99), Nintendo games in the Spotlight Sale through April 29th, and TCL's Tab A1 Plus tablet ($229.99).
