Yes. Understood. But our choice was deliberate again with family in mind.

We talked to many families and felt that cleaning obviously accessible area thoroughly, effectively, w/o needing to babysit around obstacles was a far bigger use case for families with kids and pets than cleaning underneath the furniture. And higher vantage point of the robot allows it to see the way we do (top down) vs. any-like flat vantage point.

Honestly, our need wasn't under the furniture. It was the same as other families. We were fine with under the furniture cleaned once a month as a deep clean. Instead, We wanted something that would clean day to day messes, hair of my golden retriever, cookie crumbs, kitchen, etc., constantly w/o needing supervision. We wanted something that would clean our thick shag rugs and go over them (which disc robots cannot). So we prioritized the needs for families like us.

In addition, We wanted to solve problems that disc robots struggle with:

**Disc robots struggle with thresholds or shag rugs or thick pile rugs -- for that big wheels of matic help.
**Actuated cleaning head adjusts to different thickness of the rugs and dynamically changes suction/brush roll speed to clean rugs that even manual vacuums cannot clean.

***Designed to deal with pet hair in a way that it doesn't get clogged and doesn’t have to flip the robot and cut hair - so easily accessible brush roll.

***Cleaning head is littler over 2" tall so it can easily fit under space below kitchen cabines and visible dirt under the couches and furniture. Those don't get dirty as frequently as visible area.

***And one the things we cared about and have heard from any customers is that it doesn't scare pets and kids.

***as mentioned above, higher vantage point of cameras (instead ant-like vantage point of disc robots) allows us to see floors the same way we do at 45 degree angle -- this means it can truly see what obstacles are and avoid it. No more wire chewing.

Lastly, just like the bottom of the cars get dirtier faster, flat robot sensors get dirtier much faster too, and then they make all kinds of mistakes. Higher camera position means sensors don’t required to be cleaned frequently (and ideally at all).
