iRobot reached sales or production of millions of robots per year.

'Millions' means at least 2 million units in at least one year. True if iRobot's annual reports or SEC filings, or reliable reporting, show that the company sold or shipped at least 2 million robots in at least one calendar year before 2024-09-29. Mostly true if annual units were around 1.5 to 2 million, or if 'millions' is met only by a loosely related measure such as orders. Mostly false if the best annual figure was about 1 million or a little more. False if no year reached about 1 million units, or if the 'millions' figure is cumulative rather than per year.

4. E4 1st Part RB for Ars Transcript Ars Technica (transcript of the After On podcast interview with Rodney Brooks) · 21 June 2025 Own record

   “So, tens of millions of Roombas out there. Millions shipping every year.”

E1, an independent Verge report, says iRobot sold "23.4 million in Europe and the Americas just in 2021." That is a single-year figure well above the 2 million threshold. The number looks large next to the roughly 40 million lifetime total in E1 and E2; taken at face value, it exceeds 2 million units in one year. E3 covers only early cumulative sales up to 2004, so it does not bear on later annual volumes. E4 is an interview transcript remark ("Millions shipping every year") that is not independent of the subject, so it is given less weight than the independent sources.
