Does Samsung think that for people who buy such things, house cleaning is a joke?

The competing companies in this market strive for efficiency and better function, not entertainment. Samsung is way off on this one.

And it is 46% off the original price, because nobody is buying it. The competing products, like Roomba, have undergone quite a few generations, and are serious products. Back to the drawing board, Samsung.

I loved this Q&A on the Amazon store page:

Question:
Will the storm trooper version actually hit the dirty parts of the room? in my experience, storm troopers can't actually hit anything.

Answer:
As long as it's normal Rebel Scum my Storm Trooper will hit it. If it's main character Rebel Scum . . . at best you'll get a glancing hit.

So....Samsung thinks that cleaning a house only involves cleaning/sweeping the floor... or that cleaning the floor never requires more than sweeping/vacuuming it (I.e. no mopping of liquids ever needed)?

Not that our house is super huge, but I can honestly say that, of the various tasks that are part of keeping it clean each week, sweeping & vacuuming take up the least amount of time. These Roomba wanna-bes have zero ability to dust furniture, wipe down kitchen & bathroom counters, clean mirrors, scrub toilets & bathtubs, etc.

Although I'll admit, it would be awesome to watch a cat riding one of these around...

Samsung's robot vacuums have been around for years (at least 2013), and they have always sucked compared to the competition (in the bad way). I see they still need to stick to the gimmicks to make sales.

I can get a good robot vac for less than $200 and still can do more. Samsung prices are so high for these iRobot are really experience and don't forget the replacements parts too.

Granted, it'd be cool to hear occasional Vader quotes as you're working on the computer or toiling around the house. But $372 is the half-off price? LOL. No.

At least they offer replacement parts; a user can even just swap out the wheel with a single Philips screwdriver. A lot of companies would have a 'too bad, would you like to buy the latest model' attitude about this sort of thing.
