Why would anyone want this in their home? If you want this please explain to me what the appeal of it is. 

At least an iRobot actually has a functionality and while I was against the need for a robot cleaner, I now absolutely love it, especially in dust rich environment since PC runs 24/7 in the same room where I sleep so dust is a nightmare. Robot rolling around and cleaning up to 3 times a day at different periods, it scoops up tons of dust on otherwise clean laminate floor. And even there some people have doubts about the cameras on board used for advanced navigation.

 

This thing however is nothing but a novelty. We already have a phone or smartwatch that can take the same commands and is way less creepy than this thing from Amazon itself.

So you're basically paying Amazon 1500$ for them to put a choker and leash on you.

 

I thought people hired a dominatrix for stuff like this?

That's an option that comes with the deluxe "Rosie" model.
Even has the frilly apron and duster like it did in the "Jetsons".

TBH I can't see any practiality in this myself except for having you spend $$ on a bot that does it's master's (Amazon) bidding and you don't have to be a genius to figure it out.

It will probably be turned into a tamagotchi on wheels. Only this one will assist in ordering stuff from Amazon Prime.

 

Oh, what deals will be flashing on the screen?...
