The outlook: We're a little surprised it's taken this long to see a robotic Dyson floor cleaner, but here it is. With a futuristic design and app-enabled controls, this high-end, high profile appliance looks primed for the smart-home spotlight. It won't come cheap though -- based off its pricing in Japan, where it'll make its initial debut, we're expecting the Dyson robovac to retail for well over $1,000 in the US.
