The intended user group of this product are households that want an automated device to sweep their home. This vacuum can be compared to a Roomba Vacuum, as it has a docking station to charge from, a side brush, a side roller, and a housing unit within that contains a filter. This item is primarily sold in the United States and is renowned as a very useful item to have in one's household. This robot was developed by Neato Robotics.

This device is listed at $169.99 as of April 3rd, 2023. This device did not make the news, it is well-regarded as useful and reliable, this device has an array of reviews online, especially on Amazon, and is well-received by many individuals throughout the world.
