The Matic hype on here is crazy. It's also well-deserved. My story: I bought one in 2025 after seeing a few tech people obsessing over it. I was expecting to be disappointed after universally bad experiences with robot vacuums. 30 days later, I bought devices for my parents and sister and was emailing the team convincing them to let me invest. The biggest things for me: - New gesture/voice controls are magical - Runs at night, quiet - Continuous improvements via software - Fun to watch navigate challenges - Son loves it (cool way to talk robotics) - Saves me hours of cleaning per month It feels like a glimpse into future of home robotics in a very familiar way. It's not hard to imagine where this goes as you build up towards full home robotics devices. One real downside: Ever since the voice control release, my 4-year-old thinks it's hilarious to spill things semi-intentionally and call out, “Hey Matic, clean the playroom” just to see it work. 🤣 And yes, they did finally let me invest a tiny amount. Though I'm also a full price, paying customer, because I don't believe in recommending anything to others that I'm not willing to pay for myself.
