Dyson DC06

Possibly the most intelligent domestic appliance ever made is now being assembled at the Dyson research and development centre and is on home trial. To date, over 1100 people who are interested in buying DC06 have contacted Dyson. The Dual Cyclone robotic vacuum cleaner same high level of pick-up efficiency demanded of all Dyson Dual Cyclone vacuum cleaners. All you need to do is press 'on', choose a speed, press 'go' and your room will be vacuumed.

DC06 has over 50 sensory devices which constantly feed data into the 'brain' of the machine, the 3 onboard computers. Using this data it makes 16 decisions per second and will constantly adjust to navigate its way around a room.

DC06 does not need to be programmed. It 'thinks' for itself and therefore can clean a room on its own. It's intelligence stops it falling down stairs and will pause the machine if a dog or child gets too close. DC06 can even tell you how it's feeling. Its mood light is blue for happy, green when it is moving around an obstacle and red when it feels in danger.

Dc06 has been developed over the last 2 and a half years to solve the two major problems of automatic vacuum cleaning: how to make a small cleaner pick up dust as well as a big one and how to make a machine intelligent enough to cover a room thoroughly.

Technological advancements such as DC06 could mean that in the future no human has to do their own housework.

A new technology electric motor has been specially designed. It has no carbon brushes, which removes the need for a second filter and should last 4 times as long as a conventional motor.

"An automatic vacuum cleaner must clean as well as the best mains powered vacuum cleaner and with the sort of methodical coverage a human being couldn't possibly achieve." James Dyson.

Like all Dyson vacuum cleaners DC06 has no bag and therefore no clogging. High performing Dyson Dual Cyclone™ technology also alleviates other problems associated with bags: tearing, bursting and puffing dust.
