Overview
- In early June 2026 several manufacturers unveiled new flagship devices that emphasize system‑level automation, including MOVA’s V70, DREAME’s Cyber X demo and Dyson’s Spot+Scrub AI.
- DREAME demonstrated the Cyber X as a €1,199 stair‑climbing module that docks to compatible X60 Pro robots and is planned to reach market in the second half of 2026, but the climb is slow and the feature targets multi‑storey homes rather than every buyer.
- AEG revived the Trilobite name with a LiDAR/AI camera robot that uses a ThermoWash all‑in‑one station and says it stores data on European servers with VDE certification and a €799 suggested retail price.
- Hands‑on reviews find useful innovations but clear tradeoffs: Dyson’s Spot+Scrub AI cleaned many stains yet was loud, got stuck, misclassified ketchup as a hazard and left mustard smeared on the roller, showing that real‑world failure modes remain common.
- The broader market is consolidating around powerful docks and modular hardware while buyers weigh high prices and add‑on costs against deep discounts on proven models like the Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro, which retailers have offered near €299.
