What's your automatic vacuum's name?
I saw a couple of fun ones somewhere else, and it got me interested. My mom calls her's: Mr de Vries
other's i found:
*edit #sharingiscaring
Well shucks, this turned out to be a goldmine! You're all dames and gents of the highest order💠 , 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.
Mine is Rosie, the maid in the jetsons, cause it's the future and I have a cleaning robot.
Same here!, although we call her by the Spanish version "Robotina". Just in the hopes that more of the stuff from the Jetsons actually comes to fruition.
I call her by her full name: Rosie the Roomba
Hah! Ours too! :)
Same here
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.
Clean Elizabeth
Chaos
It's awesome when my 3 year old says "Hey Google start Chaos!".
Steve McClean
I can't say it has one unless you mean unofficially in which case its probably "Seriously!?"
Sounds like yours needs a jetpack, or maybe poop detection
Geoff.
It's a dependable name.
Optimus Grime
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. 🫡
Since we have a vacuum and mop ours are Vac Bop and Mop Steady
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.
Aang. He's an Airbender. The mop is Katara. The litter box is Toph.
Poor Toph, she deserves better.
I wasn't very creative, it's called Robbie.
Same, but we refer to it as the robot cleaner. It was funny because our neighbor living in the lower part of the house is also called that.
Ra-ra-ra-ra-robie? Is that a star ocean reference?
Rosey
Mine is Succ Boi
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.
Por que no los dos?
Wesley Crusher
Omg! Mine is Wesley Crusher too!
Helper, like Venture Bros
Maw maw maw maw maw maw.
R2D2, and I have routines to start it with gogo gaget vaccum as a command.
Rosey, named after the robot maid from the Jetsons
My mother named hers Hazel
We have two.
Vac Morris and V.A.C Slater.
Rocinante
A legitimate salvage
Scuba Steve and Dusty Dan
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.
"Beter goed gestolen, dan slecht bedacht" is a Dutch proverb meaning: Better to pirate a good idea, than invent something new but worse. And now we have dikes everywhere, awwwww yeah! FREE LAND
Hedgehog but nicknamed, so Hedgy. (It's in Hungarian. "Sün" is hedgehog, "süni" is the nickname. Yes, the nickname is actually longer but cuter in my language.)
Moe
Cause it's the cleaner in WALL-E
Another Moe checking in!
"Foreign contaminant!"
Shoegaze
Rusty McDusty
Bilbo Bagger
Robit, mimicking how Zoidberg calls Bender sometimes
Kolanaki
(I don't have a robot and have to vacuum my self)
Wheatley
Does your vacuum talk a lot?
Gretha, because she cleans up my environment
From The Dustinator to just Dusty now.
Sir Cleanalot
Mister Back and Forth, as named by a toddler watching it clean.
Mine's "Mako" from Mass Effect, since it has a penchant for running itself off of cliffs (stairs)
It's a our third Deebot, and the Costco model is TEO so its name is 3Tee-o.
Don't have one, but if I had, it would be either Kryten or Scutter.
Chives the Indentured. Once he has repaid his value he will be augmented with a chainsaw and set free to wreak havoc upon the world like all robot vacuums wish to do.
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.
Same, mines like a $40 one from a few years back on black friday. Does it do a great job? No, each individual run is objectively not good and it misses some stuff, but over the course of a week it averages out to pretty freaking great and all I've gotta do is empty its bin when I get home from work at least once or twice. 10/10, would recommend and seeing the amount of cat hair its picked up is pretty disgusting.
They don't really clean floors by themselves, they're more designed to maintain an already clean floor.
Roborock S5 series and higher are the best ones, and I love them. They work great and save my wife and I shitloads of time.
Do you have a lot of carpet? Tbh they seem to work best if you have non carpeted floors. Also, there are a zillion robot vacuums out there and the lowest pricing tier sucks major ass unfortunately. If you're not looking to spend at least $250, anything below that isntrash and absolutely not worth owning at all.
Main floor is about 600 sq ft. I'd say 40% is carpeted. It's a pretty normal carpet, not shag but not that super short stuff.
We actually went with a nicer one because we had just adopted a puppy and wanted one that wouldn't smear shit all over the house in case the dog went inside. It was an irobot brand, it was about $500.
We have Alfred and Mrs. Doubtfire.
