Dyson has officially launched its first combined wet and dry robotic vacuum cleaner in the Australian market, marking a significant leap in automated home cleaning technology. The Dyson Spot+Scrub™ Ai robot vacuum cleaner is priced at $1,999 and is designed to intelligently handle floor maintenance without constant human intervention.
A Robot Vacuum That Sees and Removes Stains
The standout feature of this innovative appliance is its advanced AI stain detection system. Utilising AI vision and green laser-like illumination, the robot can identify nearly 200 different household substances and objects, including stains invisible to the naked eye. Once a stain is detected, the device adapts its cleaning behaviour in real-time, refusing to simply glide over messes. Instead, it repeatedly cleans the affected area until the stain is completely eradicated, then performs a final check to ensure nothing has been overlooked. This process mimics human spot cleaning but eliminates the physical effort involved.
Hygienic Wet Cleaning with Self-Cleaning Technology
Effective wet floor cleaning relies on maintaining water hygiene, a challenge Dyson addresses with its self-cleaning wet roller. The 12-point hydration system continuously delivers fresh heated water to the roller, while an extending mechanism allows it to reach 40 mm, ensuring thorough cleaning right up to edges and skirting boards. Crucially, the wet roller cleans itself with every rotation, preventing dirty water from contaminating freshly cleaned surfaces. This feature is particularly valuable in busy households, homes with pets, and high-traffic areas where cleanliness is paramount.
Comprehensive Edge-to-Edge Cleaning
Many robot vacuums struggle with corners and edges, but Dyson has engineered a solution. The extending roller effectively cleans along skirting boards and into tight corners, while dry debris is managed separately through a cyclonic, bagless bin. This system employs 10 powerful Dyson Root Cyclones to hygienically separate dust, crumbs, and hair, offering a fuss-free emptying experience without the need for replacement bags.
Intelligent Navigation and Learning Capabilities
The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai boasts smart navigation that learns as it cleans, recognising nearly 200 common household obstacles such as cables, socks, and furniture. This intelligence enables it to make informed decisions about cleaning routes, avoiding missed areas and unnecessary repeat passes. Users can initiate targeted spot cleaning via the MyDyson app by simply specifying the location of a mess. After each cleaning session, the robot generates a detailed Clean Map within the app, displaying where cleaning occurred and where objects were encountered, providing transparency and control.
Why This Robot Vacuum Represents a Step Forward
This is not merely a device that redistributes dirt; it actively seeks out messes, cleans them thoroughly, and verifies its work. For Australians seeking genuinely clean floors without constant supervision, the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai offers hands-free cleaning backed by genuine artificial intelligence, setting a new standard in robotic home maintenance.
