Not just Google buy any company's cloud-connected product.
I have a Roomba i7, and it works well, but it's 100% reliant on a web connection to control and to train it's automapping feature.
If iRobot gets bored with the model and decides to discontinue it and the cloud host, am I going to be stuck with an expensive paperweight, even it's mechanically still in great condition?
