Matic raises robot vacuum price by $250 due to rising component costs

Summary

Matic is raising the price of its robot vacuum from $1,245 to $1,495 (a $250 increase) effective September 9, citing a tenfold rise in memory and component costs. To soften the blow, the company is offering direct buyers a year of free replacement bag refills (worth $96) and extending the return window from 60 days to six months. The vacuum is described as navigating like a person, getting stuck only twice in six months of testing.
