Your Roomba is about to become an Amazon device
To date, iRobot has sold roughly 20 million robot vacuums.iRobot joins Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, which has spent the last seven years building a broad line of smart home technologies, mostly under the umbrella of theline. There are smart speakers, outlets, clocks, video call screens, and streaming devices. It does not, however, offer an Amazon-branded robot vacuum.
Colin Angle, who will remain on as CEO , said in the release,"Amazon shares our passion for building thoughtful innovations that empower people to do more at home, and I cannot think of a better place for our team to continue our mission."It will take some time for the deal to get regulatory and shareholder approval, which means nothing will change for Roomba users in the short term.
There may be some changes in the product line. It might slim down, or, as has been Amazon's way, we may see some new, much lower-cost iRobot Roomba robot vacuums, possibly with the Amazon brand attached to them. A Roomba that responds directly to voice commands seems possible.
