Dyson 360 Vis Nav mapping - Feedback

Hi All, I been running a new robot vac for a week now and I’m bewildered by the cleaning pattern the device uses. It can be almost random at times amd seems very inefficient (which is very anti-Dyson). The edge cleaning is also hit or miss. At times it does small sections of long edge runs which tells me that it can’t follow an straight edge well. I’m generally happy with the purchase but I do feel the Australia and Japan are being used as a test market to dial in the logic controlling the unit. Australian’s and Japanese are less likely to complain out loud and have a high disposable income - the perfect market to bed in a new piece of equipment. Interested to hear others (and Dyson’s) feedback on the cleaning pattern. Does it learn? Will it become more efficient over time?

My Dyson Vis Nav is having some weird Mapping Glitches - Suggestions welcome.

It seems it didn't line up the dirt spots correctly with the Door way and Kitchen area.

Mapping issues on the 360 Vis Nav

I’ve had a Roomba in the past and hated it, so I was excited to finally get a Dyson, having bought my first Dyson vacuum in 2006. I expected the mapping on the Dyson to be top notch.  Last night, I mapped our home, and this morning I tried creating a map. Our home has angles, so not everything is on a 90-degree layout.  There is no way for me to put a separation at a 45-degree angle. Rotating the separation is only at 90-degree angles. With the Roomba, we could isolate our kitchen for a daily cleaning, but there is no way to do this without adding 45-degree separators.  This also means that our cleaning routine over FIVE AND A HALF HOURS to clean the living room and kitchen together?  Dyson, will you be adding the ability to create 45-degree angles in the software? If not, this vacuum is completely useless in our home.  Here’s the Roomba map with angled zone dividers:

How to delete false detected rooms from the map

Hi there,I am a really confident dyson 360 vis nav user, but something bothers me. Sometimes the robot detects new rooms which arent there. Unfortunately those rooms are permanently added to the map right away. Is there a way to delete those without re-mapping the whole house over again?As you can see in the screenshot it has discovered a “new room” next to the utility room which does not exist. It also has added some weird shapes to the living room on top. How to delete these? Those lead the robot to a inefficient navigation. Thanks!

How to get 360 Vis Nav to vacuum toe kicks under cabinets?

I am having a problem getting the 360 Vis Nav to actually vacuum the “toe kick” under kitchen cabinets.  It is completely ignoring them.Could re-mapping help?  Can I only re-map the kitchen area and not the whole house?  The Roomba had a little “whisker” that would extend out and sweep these crumbs completely.

Multiple Floors Maps Docks

Have a new vis and have multiple floors & a sunk living room. How best to think about getting more than one dock versus moving robot & dock?  Any pros/cons beyond the obvious? Also how does the unit know where it is? Just based on what area / map you tell/schedulel it to vacuum?

dyson 360 vis nav skipping rooms

hi all,I got the robot recently and let it map my 90 square feet flat. The map looks ok but I am having a problem getting the robot to clean 2 specific rooms (bed room and kitchen)  when I tell the robot to clean all, all rooms will be cleaned.When I ask the robot to clean the living room or the bedroom only it refuses. The robot basically undock, move few cms and then return back to the dock saying it couldn’t find the rooms. i deleted the map and created a new one. now the robot can clean the living room on it is own but still refuses to enter and clean my bedroom.  if I remove the bed room divider and include the floor with the bed room it also works but this is stupid.  any ideas ? With my precious robots (Roomba and roborock) I didn’t face such issues :(.

Scheduling - power levels per room

When setting on-demand room cleans, you can set the desired power level per room.  When scheduling cleans, the power levels are not available to be set for each schedule, and default to whatever was last set on the on-demand clean for each room.  Is there a way to define a schedule for a day/time, and selection of rooms, where you can set a specific power level? It would be great to be able to set a clean on quiet at an early hour, only for specific rooms. Then have the power level on auto when it’s not early morning, and on a different day.In the scheduling configuration, I can choose a level for the entire home, or individual rooms, but not rooms and power level per room. In the on-demand window (Select zones to start cleaning), I can select desired rooms and their required power level. The power level values chosen here persist for each room in all schedules, until changed. The only way I can get this to happen, is to remember to update the power levels between schedules…which provi
