Dyson is introducing a robot vacuum that detects hidden stains on floors using ultraviolet (UV) light, along with a wireless wet vacuum that enhances cleaning performance in South Korea. The company aims to expand its presence in the premium vacuum cleaner market by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for stain recognition and automatic post-cleaning management.
On November 2, Dyson Korea announced the launch of two new products: the 'Dyson r3 Neurobi Spot and Scrub UV Robot Vacuum' and the 'Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok.' These products were first unveiled at a product showcase in Berlin, Germany, in September.
The r3 Neurobi adds UV light to the existing AI-based cleaning system. It recognizes stains and foreign substances on the floor, adjusting its cleaning method accordingly, and can repeat cleaning up to 15 times if any contamination remains. It also features high-speed LiDAR technology to map indoor spaces and set cleaning paths.
The suction power has increased by 65% compared to previous models, reaching 30,000 Pa. When it detects carpet, the suction power automatically increases, and the wet cleaning roller extends up to 40 mm when approaching walls. After cleaning, the docking station automatically empties dust, replenishes water, and cleans and dries the roller.
This new product focuses not only on increasing suction power but also on detecting contamination and automating post-cleaning management.
The accompanying W1 PencilWash has a 16% increase in roller density compared to previous models. It incorporates 84,000 microfiber filaments and increases the number of water supply points from eight to twelve. According to Dyson, the amount of water left on the floor has been reduced by 30% compared to earlier versions.
Weighing 2.7 kg, the device can be used for up to 45 minutes. Its design allows it to lay flat up to 180 degrees, enabling cleaning under low furniture. The newly introduced magnetic charging dock and automatic cleaning feature enhance post-use maintenance convenience.
Dyson will operate a 'Dyson Clean Home' pop-up store at the Hyundai Department Store in Pangyo until November 15. The store will showcase the two new products alongside the existing robot vacuum lineup, providing consumers with opportunities for hands-on experience.
