*edit #sharingiscaring
Well shucks, this turned out to be a goldmine! You're all dames and gents of the highest orderπ , thanks for sharing.
Stepsister. So when I get a notification when I'm away from home that it's stuck, I giggle instead of raging
That would just make me horny.
Clean Latifah
Colonel Dustard
I know a bisexual woman who named hers Carpet Muncher.
We had a Shark brand bot named Shart.
Then we had to send it in for repair and for a newer model in return. Now we have Shartito.
Chaos
It's awesome when my 3 year old says "Hey Google start Chaos!".
Clean Elizabeth
Steve McClean
Geoff.
It's a dependable name.
I can't say it has one unless you mean unofficially in which case its probably "Seriously!?"
Optimus Grime
Since we have a vacuum and mop ours are Vac Bop and Mop Steady
Mine is Succ Boi
Oooo I actually just got a new robot and named him S8AN, cause it's model is the S8, and who doesn't like to say Satan is mopping the kitchen ? My previous ones were Fernando and Fernandos (dos like 2 in Spanish, which I thought was pure genius ha). Fernandos is still in use, Fernando has been retired to robot heaven after a few years of diligent service. π«‘
Hoover, because the British call vacuums Hoovers and also because J Edgar Hoover was a bottom feeding shitbag like my sharkvac was when my dog took a shit on the floor and it dragged shit in neat lines on the floor.
Rosey
Fluffy. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a killer robot and name it Fluffy. My parents never got me one, so once I hit midlife crisis I got myself a cleaning robot and named it Fluffy. At my age, I appreciate clean floors more than seeing the blood of my enemies.
R2D2, and I have routines to start it with gogo gaget vaccum as a command.
Hedgehog but nicknamed, so Hedgy. (It's in Hungarian. "SΓΌn" is hedgehog, "sΓΌni" is the nickname. Yes, the nickname is actually longer but cuter in my language.)
We have two.
Vac Morris and V.A.C Slater.
I'm not very clever, so my nearly useless Shark vacuum is named Baby Shark, but I'm going to steal one of these when I get a good one.
Scuba Steve and Dusty Dan
Kolanaki
(I don't have a robot and have to vacuum my self)
Bilbo Bagger
Robit, mimicking how Zoidberg calls Bender sometimes
Rusty McDusty
Shoegaze
From The Dustinator to just Dusty now.
Gretha, because she cleans up my environment
Sir Cleanalot
Vincent the Vacuum
i don't use it anymore since my current apartment layout isn't suitable, but it was called Cosmic Owl
Does anyone feel these things suck? Not in a good way. I've had a hoover since i moved out after college 15 years ago. Dudes a beast. My wife wanted a robot we got maybe a year ago and it barely does it job at best. Constantly replacing parts, frequent disruptions, and got like 600 sq ft on our main floor to clean. Way too much work and when it does work it may get the top layer of dirt but it doesn't feel clean. I can spend 20 min vacuuming the whole house with my regular vacuum and it feels and smells clean for several days. I hope these robots get better but I'm not a fan right now.
I only vacuum/sweep when the drifts of dust and hair become tripping hazards. A $300ish iRobot does a crappy job, but it runs regularly. I just need to empty the bin once every few days.
It works pretty well for me.
They don't really clean floors by themselves, they're more designed to maintain an already clean floor.
