Robot Vacuum & Home Robot Watch

Why this is recommended

A Roborock flagship at $300 off after the successor launches, a company bankruptcy that ends app support, or a camera data policy change caught before it uploads a floor plan each is worth the fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 30 million American households with a robot vacuum and the ones about to spend $800 on one that maps their home.

When it runs

Robot vacuum makers launch flagships in spring and fall and discount outgoing models by 30 percent within weeks, and app and cloud policy changes land with firmware

Scope

iRobot, Roborock, Ecovacs, Dreame, Eufy, Shark, Narwal, Samsung and Dyson announcements and privacy policies; Husqvarna, Worx, Segway Navimow and Mammotion mowers; CPSC recalls; Commerce and FCC actions on connected device brands; Amazon, Best Buy and Costco sales; company earnings and bankruptcy filings

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Robot vacuum, mop and lawn mower sales of 30 percent or more with price history, new model launches with prices, app, cloud and data policy changes including camera and mapping data, firmware updates that remove features or require subscriptions, company financial distress and support risk, recalls and battery safety notices, and government restrictions on brands, with the brand and the model first.

Track home robots for US households. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: sales of 30 percent or more with price history context on robot vacuums, mops and lawn mowers from iRobot, Roborock, Ecovacs, Dreame, Eufy, Shark, Narwal, Samsung, Dyson, Husqvarna, Worx, Segway Navimow and Mammotion at Amazon, Best Buy and Costco; new model launches with prices; app, cloud, camera and mapping data policy changes with opt-out steps; firmware updates that remove features, require accounts or add subscriptions; company financial distress, bankruptcy, acquisition or support wind-down affecting app functionality; CPSC recalls and battery safety notices; and Commerce, FCC or state restrictions on connected device brands. Prefer manufacturer, retailer, CPSC, SEC filing and government sources; ignore affiliate vacuum rankings. Put the brand and the model first in the title. Use high severity for a flagship at its lowest recorded price, a support shutdown, or a data policy change involving cameras. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, which models, the price or deadline, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
