Dyson 360 Eye
It took Dyson sixteen years to create its first autonomous robot vacuum cleaner, the 360 Eye, which met all the necessary requirements and lived up to all expectations. The development of this model began in 1978, when James Dyson began to notice a decrease in the efficiency of his vacuum cleaner due to the dust bag becoming clogged with dirt. This, in turn, negatively impacted the device's suction power. In industrial settings, this problem can be solved by using cyclonic systems. This principle became the foundation for the development of the Dyson 360 Eye robot vacuum cleaner. The resulting model boasts significantly higher suction power, greater than that of robot vacuum cleaners from other manufacturers, including iRobot, and is distinguished by a completely unique 360° viewing system. A more detailed review of the Dyson 360 Eye, its specifications, and key features are provided below.

Design
It's worth noting that the 360 Eye vacuum cleaner's appearance is very different from other robots on the market and may seem slightly futuristic. It's available in two colors: fuchsia and blue.

The robot lacks additional side brushes; instead, it has a single main brush made of nylon-carbon fiber, running the entire width of the bottom of the device. Furthermore, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with tank-like tracks instead of the conventional wheels used in many other robot vacuum models. This allows it to overcome obstacles with greater ease.

Functional capabilities
The Dyson 360 eye features a 360-degree panoramic "eye" camera, which captures images at over 20 frames per second. The device also features infrared sensors. These features allow the Dyson robot to "see" the surrounding area and plan the optimal route, eliminating any untidy spaces.
360-degree camera
The Digital Motor V2 in the Dyson robot vacuum cleaner is lightweight and compact, yet incredibly powerful: thanks to pulse technology, its rotation speed can reach 78,000 rpm. The robot also features unique filtration technology. These features, namely the special cyclonic technology combined with a powerful and energy-efficient motor, provide exceptional suction power, allowing the Dyson to separate dust from larger debris and clean even the smallest dirt and dust particles. This makes Dyson one of the best vacuum cleaners. the most powerful robot vacuum cleaners.
After a twenty-minute cleaning (or forty-five minutes at maximum power), the robot returns to its base to recharge, and only after a two-hour charge does it resume its work. Such short cleaning sessions may not be ideal for large spaces, but for a small apartment or house, this time is sufficient to ensure maximum cleanliness.
Charging on the base
Main features of the Dyson 360 eye robot vacuum cleaner:
- Remote control and cleaning programming. These features allow the vacuum cleaner to clean your home autonomously, eliminating the need for the homeowners to be present. Floor cleaning can be started remotely using a mobile app for iOS and Android. The Dyson robot vacuum doesn't have a cleaning mode selector, but it does have a programmable schedule and cleaning algorithm.
- An obstacle detection feature detects when the device becomes entangled in various objects, such as wires, clothing, or curtains. In such situations, the vacuum cleaner pauses, frees itself from the obstacle, and only then resumes cleaning.
- With spot cleaning, liquid collection, and a dirt sensor, the Dyson 360 eye can identify the dirtiest areas in your home and clean them more thoroughly.
There are useful additional features that can improve the device's performance and provide its owner with simple and convenient maintenance of the robot, including:
- option with connection of electric brush;
- presence of a dust container full indicator;
- ultraviolet lamp;
- automatic cord rewind capability;
- Shoulder strap for easy carrying.

Advantages and disadvantages
An overview of the main advantages of the Dyson 360 eye robot vacuum cleaner:
- exclusive, unique robot design;
- high efficiency of air cleaning and filtration;
- the presence of many useful functions and sensors;
- high suction power;
- high quality assembly;
- ease of operation and maintenance.
The price of a robot vacuum cleaner is quite high, making it unaffordable for everyone (the average price in 2019 was $650). Therefore, customer reviews of this robot model are rare online. However, the majority of these few reviews are positive, indicating that the price matches its quality.
As for the disadvantages, the main ones include the robot's poor navigation, short battery life, and its 12-centimeter height, which means the Dyson 360 Eye is unable to fully clean under furniture.
