I have personally never met someone with a personal robotic lawnmower, and I suspect that if you have you live in a bubble that is severely biasing your view of the average American.

My cousin has one. But he also lives on 5 acres, which is also not average either.

Apparently prices on them have gone way up. The one he has now would cost something like $6K today.

A product doesn’t need to appeal to or reach the average American to be a viable product.

  • Perhaps not, but I interpreted it as an intended counterexample to the GP's claim

    > You'd have a hard time convincing most American families to purchase anything with a >$1000 price tag...

    Which I am skeptical of.
