Welcome to our deep dive into the extraordinary journey of iRobot, the company that revolutionized home cleaning with the iconic Roomba vacuum cleaner. This video takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the history of iRobot, starting from its groundbreaking release of the Roomba in 2002. Witness how this innovative product transformed the landscape of consumer robotics, offering a practical and affordable solution for everyday households.

We explore the pinnacle of iRobot's success, highlighting the impressive milestone of selling over 40 million Roombas and generating billions in revenue. Delve into the company's expansion with products like the Terra robotic lawn mower and its consistent profitability since its IPO in 2005, culminating in a revenue peak of $1.5 billion in 2021.

However, every story has its twists and turns. In 2022, iRobot faced unprecedented challenges, marking the beginning of a steep decline. We analyze the factors leading to their first annual operating loss since going public, the drastic revenue drop in the first nine months of 2023, and the accelerating operating losses.

The plot thickens with Amazon's failed acquisition attempt, thwarted by the European Union on antitrust grounds, leaving iRobot in a precarious financial state. We dissect the implications of their declining share price and the looming threat of bankruptcy.

Join us as we unravel the tale of iRobot's rise to fame and the subsequent struggles that put its future at risk. Discover the lessons learned from this saga of innovation, ambition, and the harsh realities of the tech industry.
