Dyson UV Robot Spots Invisible Messes
3 Sep
Summary
- New robot vacuum uses UV light to find hidden stains.
- Detects invisible residues like pet urine and spills.
- Launches September 15th for $1,199 in the US.
Dyson has unveiled its latest robot vacuum, the R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV, designed to tackle invisible floor stains. This new model, slated for a US release on September 15th with a price tag of $1,199, features a unique ultraviolet LED. This UV light causes otherwise imperceptible dried residues, like pet urine or spilled beverages, to fluoresce, making them visible.
Upon locating these hidden messes, the robot vacuum then utilizes a roller mop to effectively wash them away. This UV detection capability marks Dyson's first foray into using this specific technology for stain finding, differentiating it from previous models that used green lasers for dust detection.
The company is also introducing other models, including the Costco-exclusive Dyson R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry for $699 and the vacuum-only R1 Nurovi Dry for $549. Dyson has emphasized its commitment to data privacy and ensuring its products remain available in key markets like the US, despite ongoing discussions about foreign robot vacuum bans.
