Dyson 360 Vis Nav - constant Drop sensors obscured alert

Hello! I keep getting this error message about the drop sensors being obscured alert, and I keep cleaning the sensors are the diagram shows, top, bottom, sides….and then sometimes it happens again after 1 minutes, and sometimes it happens upto 4 times.How can I avoid this? Am I cleaning it incorrectly? I’m using dry paper towel or dry glass lens cleaner cloth to clean the sensor areas. So, im not sure what else to do.I’m noticing that it seems to do this more often when it goes over a HVAC register (on the floor register, like this https://www.lowes.com/c/Registers-grilles-Heating-cooling), or just after perhaps the sensors are confused and not dirty? thanks

DO NOT BUY - Dyson Corrale straightener (Suddenly stopped working and support offered no solution)

"Hello everyone,I'm extremely disappointed with Dyson. I purchased their hair straightener in 2021, and it suddenly stopped working last week, displaying the "too hot" icon. Despite being a high-end product, it only lasted three years with minimal usage.To make matters worse, the two-year warranty has expired, and Dyson support refused to repair or offer any solution. Instead, they suggested I buy a new straightener for $500. I'm shocked that no one can even assess the issue or provide repair options.As a customer who has also invested in a Dyson vacuum and Airwrap, I expect better service and product reliability from a company that charges premium prices. I'm worried that my other Dyson products may also fail unexpectedly."Sharing my experience so other people don’t regret their purchases…..

Hair Dryer Failure

Expensive hair dryer stopped working two months out of warranty.  Called customer service who kept me on the phone for 40 minutes and then told me to go to a local Dyson service center. They told me they’ve never seen a problem like mine and they think the power cord needs to be replaced and they don’t have the capability to do it. They said they might be able to later in the year and in the meantime offered me $150 “toward“ a refurbished machine. I found refurbished machines on the Dyson site for $350. So after spending $400 on a hairdryer, I now have to spend another 200 to get a used machine if I still want this dryer . Definitely the classic case of pouring good money after bad. I will go spend that money on another brand first. Very disappointed. Dyson should just send me a refurbished dryer in exchange for mine since they will ultimately fix it and resell it for near the original cost.  By the way, why do they have so many refurbished hairdryers? Because the product is deficient!

TRIANGLE ADAPTOR for low reach floor tool, DC17

My old DC17 is still chugging along, full steam.  One of the best purchases ever, probably 15 yrs ago or longer.The cracked ‘triangle’ adaptor for the low-reach floor tool, however, finally gave up the ghost after years of survival, thanks to a zealous GorillaTape job.  I ordered a replacement from a source called vacuumdirect.com… DO NOT USE these people.  Vacdirect.com is one of those companies that will ship out anything, regardless of whether or not it’s correct.  The’re the parts equivalent of having a ‘warm body’ on the end of a support line who has zero knowledge and a bad attitude, lol. Adaptor trianglePart no. 907036-03 What I did find was a source for this adaptor on Fleabay.  It hasn’t arrived yet, but I will update when it comes. Dyson’s ‘contact us’ page has only social media links, no email.  But they do have a phone, CST zone.  I haven’t called… they’re just gonna say they don’t make it anymore.If you’re gonna build a product of this high quality, that seems to last ‘for

My Dyson 360 Vis Nav is not working. The logo on the display is lit and nothing else.

Our latest software release for the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot vacuum (RB03PR.01.08.001.3325). The robot was unable to update via the app to version RB03PR.01.08.002.4054. The connection with the application has been severed and we cannot connect again. For the second day, the robot's logo display is on and a slight noise is heard. Nothing else can be done. Clicking on the display with the logo does not happen. What to do?

Why isn't my Dyson robot returning to its dock?

Hi,  I’ve had the Vis Nav for nearly a week now, and it astounds me how something so expensive could be so bad. I live in a 60m2 flat, and it hasn't been able to complete a clean of the entire place on 3 attempts, regularly gets lost and returns to base. This morning, while attempting another clean, it did two rooms, then went to base. I tried again with the two zones it missed; it cleaned one and decided it didn’t want to bother with the other. Now, I'm trying to clean the last zone, but it won’t even leave the dock. What should I do?Is the firmware going to improve?Should I just return it now?(Moderation edit  - title updated)

MyDyson App Not Recognizing My Device

Hello,Following the highly anticipated launch of the Dyson 360 Vis Nav in France last week, and after receiving it, I am encountering an issue: the MyDyson app does not recognize the device.I have attempted to connect it using my iPhone, iPad, and even an Android smartphone to no avail. Despite the device clearly emitting a Bluetooth signal.It seems the issue lies with the app. Are there others experiencing the same problem?The only solution offered by customer support (which is, by the way, very poor) is to return the device for a replacement within one week. However, this likely won't resolve the issue since the device is emitting a Bluetooth signal, indicating that the problem stems from the app.I find it unacceptable to sell such an expensive device and offer such subpar customer support. At this price range, Apple provides much better service. It's baffling.

Reboot every time i use it

Had my robot since October.  After initial mapping and zoning issues finally is working.  However every time I go to use it via my phone app the ‘connection is lost’ and the suggested reboot by taking the robot off the dock for 30secs and replacing doesn’t work either.  I have to power off and power on then put on the dock.  This happens every time, very frustrating.  I’m loathe to ring support, last time I did that I had a scheduled call which didn’t happen (after taking time off work to be home).

Dyson 360 Eye connection with MyDyson app failed

（I borrowed this theme, and I also encountered the same problem and didn’t know how to solve it.）Hi I got the 1st gen Dyson 360 eye from a friend who did not want to use it any more after he moved to a new apartment that is too small. However he did not remove the vacuum cleaner properly in his MyDyson app and now I cannot connect to it using MyDyson app. I also tried the troubleshooting procedures to download the enable, disable and reset wifi config but it never worked! I still cannot connect and use the vacuum cleaner using MyDyson app. Is there another way to factory reset the vacuum cleaner? It has still the old configs and map so the vacuum cleaner pretty useless to me if I can´t get it to connect to MyDyson. The connection always hangs at step 2 in Confirming Connection and never succeeded! Please see screenshot… can someone from Dyson support help me reset the robot using other means? Thank you so much!   I already tried this step very close to the router and wifi access point

Dyson robot can’t clean

My robot cleaner is about 3 months old but as of 2 days ago, just won’t clean! It won’t do the scheduled clean. If I set up an app clean, it moves then immediately says returning to dock then I get a message saying Dyson can’t clean.  I have a tried cleaning everything, powering down and turning back on to no avail. I can press the machine to clean, but only if not in the dock. Any tips welcome. It’s very frustrating!

Streamlining the Dyson Vis Nav 360 App Experience: Addressing App Restrictions and Notification Categorization

Dear Dyson Team,I am writing to provide feedback on my experience with the Dyson Vis Nav 360. As a premium product, I have high expectations for its performance and usability. Overall, I am very pleased with the vacuum's cleaning ability and navigation capabilities. However, I have encountered some issues with the Dyson Vis Nav 360 app that I believe could be improved. App RestrictionsOne of the main limitations of the app is the inability to draw diagonal restrictions. This restriction makes it difficult to accurately define areas that I want the vacuum to avoid, such as corners or areas with furniture. It would be much more convenient to be able to draw restrictions diagonally to ensure that the vacuum does not enter specific spaces. Notification CategorizationI appreciate the app's notifications for important events such as when the Dyson Vis Nav 360 needs assistance or has a fault. However, the app categorizes regular maintenance reminders as "faults" under the same "Check Your Dys

Dyson Vis Nav unable to locate dock - Help!!

My 360 Visnav tells me to return to dock but it’s on the dock.  Called Dyson they said it maybe a faulty dock.  I now have to return the dock before they’ll send another one out.  I understand if it was the actual matchine.  It’s a bit of plastic not even the power cord! Disappointing!
