Why iRobot Corporation Will Clean Up for Investors

iRobot's (NASDAQ: IRBT) most recent quarter has investors dancing in the streets. The company handily beat both earnings and revenue estimates.

The company's bread and butter is home robotics with four product types available for purchase. These robots help consumers clean and wash floors, maintain swimming pools, and even clear out gutters. That may be a wide range of capabilities, but the products share a focus and vision that will be key to the company's success going forward.
