More than a year after Dyson first tipped plans to release a robotic vacuum, the company has delivered the 360 Eye. On the down side, however, it's only available in Japan at this point, and you better have some really deep pockets if you want to make this floor-cleaning robot a part of your life. According to Mashable, it has a price tag of 149,040 Yen in Japan, or more than $1,200. So what makes this thing so special? As its name suggests, the 360 Eye "constantly observes and interprets its surroundings," letting it see all around a room at once, Dyson said. "This unique 360 degree vision system uses complex mathematics, probability theory, geometry, and trigonometry to map and navigate a room," the company added. "So it knows where it is, where it's been, and where it's yet to clean." It has a digital motor that can spin at up to 78,000 RPM, generating what Dyson calls the "highest suction of any robot vacuum." The 360 Eye also features Dyson's "Radial Root Cyclone" technology, which generates high centrifugal forces capable of capturing particles as small as pollen and mold.

Dyson said it's also the only robot vacuum with "continuous tank tracks" instead of wheels, giving it better traction and more accurate maneuvering over all types of floors. It also differs from most competitors in that it provides suction across the full width of the machine. The 360 Eye works with Dyson's free Link app for iOS and Android, allowing you to control and schedule when it runs. The app also lets you view maps of the cleaning progress so you can micromanage your robot when you're outside the house.

Dyson's Cinetic Big Ball, which will sell for $699 - $100 cheaper at launch than the Cinetic DC54 it's replacing  -  has been shrunk down into a ball and has had all its heavy components moved to the bottom, so that now if it falls over while you're dragging it around the house, it gets back up again.karcher steam vacuum cleaner reviewThink of one of those inflatable clowns with a heavy base, that you can punch and punch and it just keeps popping up for more punching. canister vacuum cleaner with power brushThe Cinetic Big Ball is like that, only even more awesome because it has cyclones raging inside of it, separating the dust from the air.german robot vacuum cleanerWho doesn't love a cyclone in their vacuum cleaner?

The inner workings, where all the cyclones happen. Those little red rubber tips on all the cyclone cones oscillate to stop the cones getting clogged. Like the previous model, the Cinetic Big Ball has very special cyclones. The cyclones are created by sucking air through a cone. The smaller the tips of the cone, the better the cyclone is at separating dust from air. But make the tips too small and they quickly clog with dirt. So Dyson has put little rubber tips on the end of each cone, which vibrate when air is sucked through them. Get the airflow just right, and the vibrations will stop dust accumulating, preventing the tips from clogging.Which means that Cinetic Big Ball can get away with smaller cone tips  than earlier Dyson cyclonic vacuums, which means it's more efficient at separating dust from air, which in turn means it can now have a filter that, according to Dyson, never needs cleaning or replacing.I've seen the filter. It's buried deep inside the guts of the Cinetic Big Ball, and looks like the air filter from a car, only cleaner.

It can't be washed (it would fall apart) and it can't easily be accessed for replacement. It really is designed to last the life of the machine.The other nifty thing about the Cinetic Big Ball is a new dust ejection system (and, in this context, I really mean hair ejection system), that saves you having to reach in to the dust (hair) bin to pull out all that jammed up dust (hair). (And yes, Adelgunde, I'm thinking of your hair as I write this.) The dust bin now has a collar on it, that you can pull down to scrape away any wedged-in dust (hair) without having to reach in with chopsticks the way you do with current Dysons. I'm yet to see that new ejection feature pitted against Adelgunde's epic hair, but, whatever the outcome, I know they could make a movie about it: Batman v Chewbacca.After over a year from Dyson revealing its plans to launch a robotic vacuum cleaner, the 360 Eye is finally out. The Dyson 360 Eye, however, is currently only available in Japan with a price tag of ¥149,040.

For those wondering, that is equivalent to an insane price of more than $1,200, making the robotic vacuum cleaner one of the most expensive ones out in the market. What makes it cost much more than the most high-end Roomba 980 of iRobot, which costs $899? Well, as the 360 Eye's name suggests, it is capable of constantly observing and analyzing its surroundings, being able to see the entire room where it is located. Dyson said that the unique vision system of the 360 Eye utilizes a combination of mathematics, geometry, probability theory and trigonometry in mapping out and navigating around a room, adding that the robotic vacuum cleaner known where it is, where it has been, and where it has not yet cleaned. The Dyson 360 Eye features a digital motor that spins up to 78,000 revolutions per minute, which generates that the company says is the highest suction power for any robotic vacuum. The robotic vacuum cleaner also packs the Radial Root Cyclone technology of Dyson, which is able to generate high centrifugal forces that can capture even the smallest particles such as mold and pollen.
