Machines cite "invasion"

Sweeping, vacuuming, window cleaning... In order to solve these tedious chores, more and more robots have begun to “invade” ordinary families.

"Isn't it not statistically unknown? In the entire electrical camp of life, various types of 'robots' have grown very fast. The average growth rate in the past two years has reached 100%." ​​Yesterday, a person from a store in Nanjing revealed to reporters that one of the best-selling Brands, just selling various "robots" sell as much as three or four million a year.

Can sweep the floor, but also to wipe the window, to accompany their parents known as the "robot", is to move freely, self-charged, and can actively "work" small appliances.

"I bought a sweeping robot." White-collar Lin told reporters slightly. After her marriage, her most troublesome chores were to sweep the floor every day. I couldn't stand it and started to sweep away a robot. This was completely liberated. Lin said, do not look at this "robot" round and flat appearance, but press the switch before going out, it will be smart and brisk after busy in the home, running around. "Even at the bottom of the bed and under the cabinet that you can't clean up at all, it can get in. Every day when I come back from work and see the rubbish it sweeps out, I still have a sense of accomplishment."

Convenience is the biggest feature of these "robots". "In addition to sweeping robots, there are window cleaning, decontamination, mopping robots, and even a family can watch, to accompany their parents." Nanjing Suning life electronics sales and marketing department told reporters that in the past two years, the living robot market soared. "Before there were only one or two brands, it has now expanded five or six times. Samsung, LG, Panasonic and other brands also have new products."

A brand relies on "robots" to sell three to four million. "The most obvious thing is that 'robots' are expensive, but they are growing at an alarming rate." Suning officials said that for the most common sweeping robots, the average unit price is about 2000-3000 yuan / Taiwan, the highest price close to 10,000 yuan. "Compared to this, the unit price of a household vacuum cleaner is only about 800 yuan."

Five-star related people also said that from the previous year, the "robot" market growth is very obvious, but also attracted more and more small household appliance brands to join the competition. "Currently, sweeping robots account for about 10% of all vacuum cleaner category sales, with an average annual sales growth rate of 30%."

"Robot" became the only vacuum cleaner to grow. Reporters also discovered that the business opportunity of "robots" in life has been seen. At Samsung, LG, Panasonic and other big spring conferences, almost all the robots are busy.
