Why Dyson’s pricey robot vacuum is late for its Japanese debut
We warned that Dyson’s first robot vacuum was going to put all that cyclone technology to use on your wallet’s contents and we weren’t wrong. After a hefty half-year delay, the 360 Eye robot vacuum goes on sale in Japan today priced at 138,000 yen — before tax! That’s around $1,150. Cutting-edge robot house cleaners that take care of themselves apparently demand high salaries (just ask Rosie). Dyson’s 360 Eye has undergone a handful of minor changes, both in the hardware and software, to prepare it for its first customers: the Japanese. My biggest takeaway? Dyson thinks the 360 Eye knows its way around cleaning a room even better than you, you big ole’ irrational human.
