Since the vacuums are made in China, what do these Boston folks do? I assume the 1/3rd were useless DEI hires and females, and they kept the useful male engineers.

I never understood the appeal of these robot vacuums. It seems you would still have to go around and run a regular vacuum by hand jst to clean up where these things missed.

“iRobot has been an innovative company that’s really succeeded at producing appliances that American consumers really want and really pay for,”

But they are laying off 31% of their work force. Either that statement is false, or American consumers no longer want and are not willing to pay for their products.

Deal was killed by Liz Warren, she feared it would create less competition. So as a direct result of Ms. Warren’s action a large number of Americans no longer have a job.

Mortgages still need to be paid, electric bill is still due, groceries are kind of important too. Ms. Warren, the economic genius, captain of industry, and renowned rocket scientist- has screwed with a lot of American families. Finding a new job can months. Nice job Liz….

I really want to like ours.

It gets stuck under our furniture.

I have to go around and pick up the dog toys before I start it.

About 1/3 of the time it can’t find it’s way back to the base.

We still have to vacuum about once a month.

Heavy sigh.
