In 1996, Electrolux developed Tribolite, the first vacuum cleaner robot. However, some problems with this device prevented the room from being thoroughly cleaned, thus defeating Electrolux's purpose of letting people have a vacuuming robot. As expected, Electrolux stopped the production of vacuum cleaners, but left a subdivision without any brand development. Dyson then tried in 2001, but due to production costs, its vacuum cleaner products did not enter the mass market.
Soon, iRobot entered this field and developed a subversion of people's concept of vacuuming. Since iRobot released its first vacuum cleaner Roomba in 2002, this company has been the only one in the vacuum cleaner market. According to statistics from Gap Intelligence, iRobot occupies approximately 52 percent of the vacuum cleaner retail market and continues to enhance its brand recognition as the first successful vacuum cleaner brand.
In ainneoin seo, le dhá bhliain anuas, tá líon mór brandaí tar éis dul isteach sa mhargadh robot bhfolús, rud a chruthaigh níos mó iomaíochta sa deighleog mhargaidh atá fós ag díriú ar ghrúpa tomhaltóirí nideoige sách teoranta. De réir mar a bheifí ag súil leis, tá praghsanna ag dul i méid, tá folúsghlantóirí dírithe ar thomhaltóirí a bhfuil ioncam indiúscartha níos ísle acu, agus tá folúsghlantóirí dírithe ar -tomhaltóirí deiridh níos airde.
Mar sin féin, cé go bhféadfadh an fianán-folúsghlantóir gearrthóra a bheith díreach mar a theastaíonn ó dhaoine áirithe, bíonn daoine eile ag súil le níos mó maidir le folúsghlantóirí. Ar dtús, is féidir le brandaí folúsghlantóirí dul i bhfeidhm ar an bpobal le hamanna luchtaithe feabhsaithe, le córais scrollaithe nua, nó le teicneolaíocht feabhsaithe léarscáile. Cé go bhfuil na gnéithe seo go hiontach fós agus go bhféadfadh siad tarraingt ar roinnt tomhaltóirí, d’fhéadfadh go mbeadh daoine a bhfuil taithí acu ar an teicneolaíocht ag lorg táirgí a chruthaíonn gnéithe uathúla gan choinne.
The desire for products to "do more" is not limited to vacuum cleaners, but also extends to other major home appliances. Manufacturers and brand companies have heavily promoted their ability to create a seamlessly integrated smart home ecosystem. Vacuum cleaners, whether they are vacuum cleaners or other types of products, are a key part of this ecosystem. In order to achieve this goal, at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA next month, Samsung and LG are expected to incorporate vacuum cleaners into their respective smart home ecosystems SmartThings and ThinQ. The dust robot becomes a part of it.
