Dyson wants its robot vacuums in more homes

The new Nurovi range offers more affordable options on top of its current flagship Spot+Scrub AI.

I guess it was only a matter of time before Dyson decided that it wasn’t satisfied with releasing a flagship robot vacuum every other year. We’ve seen the Dyson 360 Vis Nav back in 2023, as well as the much better Dyson Spot+Scrub AI earlier this year, and this time around, the new Nurovi range offers consumers more focused options catered to their budget, though as with any Dyson product, it will still cost a premium.

I got to see these new robot vacuums earlier today at a Dyson briefing, but if you’re wondering why I’m using Dyson’s pictures for this newsletter piece, it’s because the briefing set up wasn’t quite suitable for pictures and didn’t quite do justice to how good the products look.

Anyways, the Nurovi R1 is vacuum only, while the R2 is wet and dry, while the R3 is similar to the Spot+Scrub AI with wet and dry capabilities and a UV light to detect invisible stains. The R3 is basically the upgrade to the Spot+Scrub AI, which is surprising given that it’s less than a year since the former was announced and sold.
