£800 / stuff.tv/Heurist
Four years after Dyson’s original 360 Eye robot vac launched, and nearly two years since it went on sale in China, the 360 Heurist version is finally available over here. Quite why it took so long to make it to the UK we’re not sure – perhaps it had to pootle here under its own steam.
Supposedly smarter and with more memory than the 360 Eye, it’ll continuously learn about the space it’s being employed to clean and keep getting better at its job. In addition, the digital motor inside it is 20% suckier and the brushes are twice as stiff as on the previous model. But the bin dimensions stay the same. Ah well, guess we’ll just be emptying it more often…
