Did you look at the Neato ones. Their new botvac can vacuum very close to a corner since the brush and vacuum head is placed towards the front and left. http:/

  That's slightly better but the size of these robots is what kills their use. So many times there's not even half the size of these robots between a table and a wall in Japan, they just won't fit there. Dyson should really do more market research before they think they can disrupt the market with basically the same form factor as the other brands. I don't have hard data but my guess is that most people are far from being satisfied with these cleaning robots.

    I'm fairly confident that a company like Dyson knows to do market research on these things, and has more hard data than you do.

      > and has more hard data than you do. They probably have more than I do because I have none, but I've seen very big companies being completely clueless at market research as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case as well. Seeing Dyson himself on Japanese TV yesterday saying "Hey, we come first to Japan because Japanese consumers love robots" sounded like he has no idea what he is talking about, seriously. But that wouldn't be the first for a CEO.
