Re:Amazon terminates iRobot deal, vacuum maker to lay off 31... by Mistletoe on Monday January 29, 2024 @07:21PM (#39184692)
There’s no moat on robot vacuums, they just had their initial brand recognition. Lots of companies should pay attention…

I love my Roomba, it’s been truly a life-changing invention for me and my go-to mental construct for how robots can improve our lives and how good design can be very simple yet effective. But I probably bought it used on eBay and I continue to buy batteries every 5-10 years for it on eBay when it needs a new one.
