Yup, not mentioning weight is problematic. I also want to understand pet safety.

Your chinchilla had finished the wash cycle.

I have a cat who pushed the Roomba out the door where an elk smushed it, turns on the gas fireplace when I’m out of town because he’s an environmental terrorist and stopped shitting in his box when I just put a litter robot in his room. I assume the Dalek would meet some impossible-to-predict horribly fate before the 17-year old cat does.

I don't have a rug... oh wait...

Yeah this piece of marketing got me:

> Made to fit in every home, including yours.

Unless that home has stairs

I have a startup idea: I will make the robot that ferries your laundry robot up and down the stairs.

Not a bad idea, just a cog track that the robot grabs onto. I'd install one.

You could call it the El-e-vator!

I have a stairlift to sell you.

A coming update will enable grappling hook operation

Not even stairs, looks like one step will defeat this $8000 robot.

Yeah I was thinking exactly this. Also I don't think it can reach my dryer.

I am happy this kind of thing is being worked on, I just don't think this is gonna be it - they really talk around what it does but "folding clothes" isn't enough. $8k to handle a complete laundry cycle (including ironing) might be interesting.
