And yet.. How many people do you know with a Roomba? Driver assistance in their vehicles (lane keep and adaptive cruise), the list goes on. It's incremental.

"How many people do you know with a Roomba?" None, not even another branded robot hoover. Though I know people who have a cleaner once or twice a week.

In 2018 iRobot sold 1.08 billion dollars worth of Roombas with a 50% gross margin.

My Roomba kept getting wedged under furniture and tangled up on rug fringes. In the end I threw it away and went back to vacuuming myself.
