Amazon terminates iRobot deal, Roomba maker to lay off 31% of staff::Amazon and iRobot said regulatory concerns made it impossible for the deal to move forward, sending the Roomba makers’ shares plummeting.
Oh, I might consider buying one again now.
Save yourself the headache and get something that works locally and doesn’t rely on their cloud and app.
Reasonably sure i can set up local control through home assistant. Haven’t looked too hard but I’ve always liked the featuresets on the roombas and the Amazon connection was the reason I haven’t done too much investigation yet.
I’ve been much happier with my Roborock than my Roomba. It definitely seems smarter.
Huh I thought it was done a long time ago. Looks like Roomba’s back on the menu, boys!
Gotta layoff workers to save money for stock buybacks.
Naming your robot company iRobot is Nightmare Nexus levels of disrespect
