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.

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