iRobot is getting left behind, technologically.

I'll omit the competitor that I use now. I'll just say that it has a base that empties the robot dust bin, refills the clean tank, empties the dirty water tank, washes and dries the mop. And the mop actually looks like something that resembles a mop (and rotates), it's far better than the 'swiffer' kind of thing that the Braava has, or that the J9 has. I don't see the same wet dirt issue because the navigation takes care of that.

It does have a camera and the parent company is indeed Chinese.

Neato is even worse and their robots aren't much better than they were 5 years ago. They started out really strong but any improvements were marginal.
