Firmware update capability is repeatedly cited as a benefit, with the app enabling updates and potential future fixes or feature changes.
Pros: Aesthetic design &, finish
Cons: Accessories &, Tools
One review notes the app can be used for firmware updates and settings, but overall sentiment is that the core experience does not depend on long-term app features.
Pros: Automatic standby switch, Floor Drying Time
Cons: Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup, Area Rug Handling
Software support exists through the MyDyson app, but review evidence frames it as limited to updates and maintenance alerts.
Pros: Kid-friendliness, Debris illumination
Cons: Carpet — High-Pile Pickup, Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup
Reviewers specifically note there's no app or firmware-update ecosystem, so feature longevity is mostly hardware-based rather than improved via updates.
Pros: Cordless convenience, Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup
Cons: Software-update support / feature longevity, Steam Cleaning
