Has the business model changed? or is it just a revenue thing, period. Why is there a generalization that monthly subscription models are the way to go? It might mean steady revenue, but does it really encourage growth? Is it of value to the consumer to be paying a monthly fee for service?Why do we say that it is just the way it is when it’s not what is needed… Don’t needs drive business?
Who drives business? The consumer or the business?… Read More What’s up with these services being no longer supported? Do this instead.

Yeedi K600 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Review

Yeedi K600 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Box Unopened with All Accessories

The Yeedi K600 (or K602G) Robot Vacuum Cleaner has been in our house for over a month now. The K600 has been cleaning our basement and rooms. The Yeedi has been put through its paces on the carpet, hardwood, tile, and rugs of different thicknesses. I have even put it under furniture to see how it responds.

I’m hoping that the Yeedi K600 is a good Robo-vac for your home. Let’s get started on the Yeedi K600/K602G Robot Vacuum Cleaner Review. I took a ton of pictures of the Yeedi K600 in action too.… Read More Yeedi K600 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Review
