The title is almost click baiting. I was hoping to read an in-depth article for the 16years of effort in design the vacuum. Information on how the engineers solve massive problems that would have take many years to do.
From the general sense of the article, 16 years was the elapse time from their first version to their release version.
However, probably the right level of detail from engadget...
- stigi 12y agoI was expecting a good argument on why it's launched in JA prior to US, UK or EU. Just the fact that Japan is a big adaptor for robotics doesn't make it. Roomba and others have established solid markets for that kind of product outside of Japan already. I hope Dyson can match the demand and will start selling the 360 eye globally soon.
- toyg 12y agoI think the real motivation for a Japan-only launch is that, if things don't work out, they can quietly kill it without experiencing a costly PR fiasco in Western markets. Which is a bit weak for such a "revolutionary" products.
- ZenoArrow 12y agoI wonder if part of the decision on the Japan-first launch was due to the Japanese market being the first to show decent interest in the original Dyson vacuums.
