When I first heard that a vacuum company had released a rocket-powered electric vehicle with physically impossible-sounding performance specs, I immediately thought James Dyson was up to his old tricks again.

Dyson finally made a better robot, but a worse vacuum

I'm deeply conflicted about the Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop. It's the company's best robotic floor cleaner to date, with excellent mopping performance, good navigation and obstacle detection, and a multifunction dock that takes much of the busywork off your hands. But Dyson's first at...
