Just what we need, at a time when it’ll do the most good! /s
I have an earlier version of this (got it on sale from Costco, and it was the highest-rated model by Consumer Reports at the time); I love it. It’s not great for carpets, but it’s fast and easy for hardwood floors.
Would I have bought it if it needed to connect to my cell phone? Absofuckinglutely not. Not in a million fucking years. It could have been the best goddamn vacuum in the world at sucking, powered by a miniature black hole, sucking dirt to the event horizon, and I still would have passed.
I need LESS connectivity in my life, not more.
That’s nothing! My reusable digital toilette paper let’s me zoom and teams into important work meetings. It even includes a 3D digital camera and digital texturizer so you can feel the other side.
$1000 vacuum? I rather live in filth
Tbh, I like the shark rocket vac
FML. This reminds me I just got trn to built for reading Usenet. I’m reverting.

Yeah I don’t need Bluetooth in my toothbrush either.
Some poor engineer probably had a crisis when they realised they where wasting their life implementing shit this stupid.
Given it’s samsung, I doubt they have the time to have a crisis. Work hours for Korean tech companies can be quite insane, e.g. https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-06-08/business/industry/Samsung-implements-64hour-workweek-as-falling-sales-usher-crisis-mode/2063906
Great, can it make my wife come back too

This seems really useless
It is there for data mining… Not for the idiot using it for sms
Who asked for this? Did y’all ask for this? I don’t remember asking for this.
Looks around room in confusion
This was literally my reaction when reading this. Who the fuck needs to be so connected they need to know immediately when vacuuming. Heaven forbid it waits 5 minutes until you’re done.
It’s about reducing variable costs.
You build phones, watches, tvs, washers, dryers, fridges? Why use separate hardware and software? That’s just expensive. Just build a common platform that can be easily modified for everything and take advantage of production scale to reduce costs everywhere.
Slap in all those smart phone features too because why the fuck not. It’s cheap, someone might be convinced to buy it because of it, and few people will avoid it because you can use your phone. Bonus points! We can collect use information.
Everyone wins! Except the customer. Because fuck them.
Some crappy product manager found some agreeable “tech enthusiasts” and/or worded their research questions in such a way that made it seem like this would be a net positive to the sales/profit of the product.
The engineers who had to design this terrible product were probably making jokes about it all the time.
Why it doesnt have camera for video calls?
I want companies to make robots to vacuum for me. I don’t want them to make my own drudgery time more “convenient”.
Nobody: “Now my boss can text me any time of day even when I’m doing housework!”
Get a Roborock. I love my S7 vac + mop. I have two long haired cats and a kid. It’s awesome!
Why?
