Does the 360 Vis Nav ONLY use the map? Or does the camera and sensors override the map?

I am curious about mapping.  Since the software doesn’t seem to like angled walls, does the robot map the house and use it “as a suggestion,” allowing the cameras and sensors to “override” the map if it determines that it can actually follow the edge of a diagonal cabinet or wall?  When I look at my map, there are very large zig-zags representing these diagonal walls and cabinets.  But when it shows the cleaning map, it overlaps—but not exactly—the original map from mapping.  Just curious if this thing is smart enough with sensors and cameras to determine where things actually are in the room.

The Tazmanian Dyson..

Let me start by saying, hello and good evening, my names Craig.. I’ve recently upgraded all my Dyson products and the star of the show is by far, “TheRobot”, only one thing I could say, if I was being overly critical, is it loves doing 360’s, Lol, hence the title and me Robots name.. I think it’s the Crystal and glass furniture, might be messing with the camera’s, as it only does it near that furniture, maybe the mirrored reflection of itself?? Gets the Robot all excited haha, because after its pirouettes and best impression of a Tazmanian Devill, it then feels the need to drive into the glass coffee table, so yeah, that’s the hypothesis that lead to the conclusion, but, still, without any doubt, an absolutely top tier product, maybe a few wrinkles could be ironed out with further software updates??

purifier formaldehyde PH04 second repair

Hi,We got this fantastic air purifier with humidifier PH04 and unfortunately to our frustration it’s second time in repair. First was loud sound coming from air purifier motor and now humidifier water pump made loud noise. Service here in Estonia for Dyson is very poor and I have to wait around month to get machine back. I suffer with allergies and it’s vital for me to clean room clean and humidity levels high. Very disappointing as Dyson customer who has been loyal to you nearly 10 years.

Dyson 360 eye app

Hello, I'm new here and have a question or problem with my dyson 360 eye, which is a bit older and also has an app. Because it was sitting around for a bit longer and got a new battery, I had to integrate it into the app again and that's exactly why it fails connects to the robot's WiFi, the app then recognizes it and when I'm almost at the end, the app crashes or I have to re-enter the WiFi password from the robot and network. Does anyone have any tips or can help me? That would be super nice, Mfg. Malte

new Nav 360 VisNav will not charge, resetting to factory setting is failure

Received new 360 VisNav from Dyson late Friday afternoon, 26Apr. Set it up on Saturday. Everything worked except it would not “pair” with its charger. Repeatedly followed instructions to remove from dock, wait 30 seconds, and return to dock with no success. Weekend help bots at support were of no help. Decided to reset the machine to factory settings based on advice from Mark Finn in another closed discussion on the topic. That reduced the menu to a difficult to read QR code for the myDyson app and when my phone would not connect to the machine, it produced another difficult to read QR code that took me to a no longer active page at Dyson’s website. The only other menu option was to power down, which I did. Monday I called support and after waiting for over 50 minutes to chat with an agent I received no more help than I did from the help bots during the weekend, it just took longer. Now I have a case number and instructions to wait to be contacted in 3 to 5 days. Question 1. How can I

customer service

Any one has issues with dyson airstraight?! I used it for obe time and after 1 week trying to use it it wouldn’t turn on again! I tried resetting it and different plug didn’t work! It’s really frustrating to use it for 1 day only and never worked again! Am scared to replace it and will return it, i have all hair car machines from Dyson never had issues, but this one was the worst! I really like it how it straightened my hair i saw alot of bad reviews on it but i continue to buy it , but not anymore!

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…..

I will NEVER purchase anything from Dyson again, nor will I recommend Dyson!

I am absolutely appalled by Dyson's customer service! Since purchasing an Airwrap on 3/1/24, I have encountered complete silence since initiating a return on 4/1/24. I have spent endless hours waiting on the phone, sending ignored emails, and even reaching out to them on Instagram, all leading to a dead end. Even after resubmitting the return request on 4/20/24, I was promised a response within 48 hours, but to no avail. Finally, after a 45-minute wait for a chat, Vamshi K abruptly told me that I'm out of my return window without any attempt at a solution. It's ridiculous that I'm being held responsible for being out of my return window when Dyson didn't respond to my first return request. To make matters worse, Vamshi K left the chat without even saying goodbye or coming up with a solution while I was still trying to send proof of my initial return request. Dyson has lost my trust and my business forever.

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

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.
