My partner’s 5 yr old is obsessed with Roombas. If he were old enough to read this news, he’d cry 😢

Isn’t Roomba just synonymous with robot vacuum at this point?
All of my friends and family have a “Roomba”. Some have the $30 Aldi’s Roomba that stumbled around like your drunk uncle, and some have the Roomba with a microphone that chases your dog for the Insta.
Absolutely none of us are rich enough to buy the equivalent Roomba.

It’s kind of crazy that the company whose name is synonymous with the product category is going into bankruptcy. It would be like if Skype, which is synonymous with video calls, was out competed by every other video call platform.

Hey! Whoa! Uncool!
Drunk uncle here…I don’t stumble. I sit on the recliner until I pass out watching porn that I’m not aroused by, and not jerking off to. It’s just “on”.

You sure you’re the drunk uncle?
Every drink Uncle I have ever met thinks they are the cool uncle when sober.
It’s known as the druncle paradox.

For him, yes. Anything Roomba or Roborox and he’s excited. If he knew other brand names he’d say them too 😂
