Is iRobot an Appliance Company?

With increasing frequency I'm seeing iRobot (IRBT) grouped with "appliance" companies. I saw a headline this morning (02012.09.04) the is representative of the stuff I've been seeing lately. "Equity Research on Whirlpool Corp. and iRobot Corp. - Appliance Companies Looking to Enhance Products Through Innovation" via MarketWire.com

iRobot (IRBT) ended August 02012 at #3 in the GDT::Portfolio, so it's an important stock for us. IRBT closed Friday, 02012.08.31, at $25.19. 52-week range: $19.09 - $38.33. IRBT's PSR (Price-Sales-Ratio) is 1.51, which I think is low; however, Whirlpool, which is not a GDT::Portfolio stock, has a PSR of 0.32.
