iRobot's robots for you

In 2002, a company called iRobot, which specialized in military robots and general robotic experimentation, introduced a product it called Roomba: a mobile robotic vacuum cleaner shaped like a fat disk, able to make its way around a room, scooting under furniture and avoiding obstacles, as it vacuumed. It was a revolutionary idea in floor care: the little robot floorvac used special programming to learn its surroundings, storing info in its onboard electronic brain as it went. The vacuuming system was quiet and efficient, and both accessories and replacement filters were inexpensive. It could detect dirt and handle a variety of carpeted and hard surfaced floors. They were even cheap enough to give as gifts. By 2003, it was clear that iRobot had some hot products on its hands, and it wasn't long before competitors were engaging in the most sincere form of flattery.

Accessories and such

Care and maintenance of a Roomba is easy. From the beginning, iRobot has offered inexpensive accessories, replacement filters, and other parts along with its magical cleaning robots. Accessories like upgraded batteries might cost up to $50, but most accessories cost less, and spare filters still don't exceed $15. As anyone who has tried to fix an expensive vacuum knows, that's comparable with most vacuum cleaner parts. And the kicker is, those other vacuums don't even do the work for you, like Roomba does!
