Evolution Ian, evolution.
The market is always willing to accept a cheaper version provided it
is 1) moderately functional and 2) cute.
The Roomba is cute. No-one has to worry about it attaching their
family pet and hurting it.
People with no robotic vacuum experience would hear the phrase
"autonomous" and "cyclone technology" and have metropolisian visions
of insane renegade monster cyclone robots sucking up poor foo-foo
their pet toy Pomeranian.
