Robert

Don’t let Robert escape from the kitchen until he’s finished his work!

Ours is called Mrs Doyle. The edge detector dance reminds me of Mrs Doyle getting stuck in the windowsill.

We don't have one, but we do give names to most of our household appliances. They are usually alliterative - Walter the washing machine, Cornelius the computer etc. I do occasionally forget that most people don't do this so got a very strange look from a friend the other day when I said "I'll be ready in a few minutes, just let me put the lunch dishes in Dave and I'll be right with you.." 😳

Steve

I’m certain Steve has copied the cats in personality as he listens to nothing I say either, he goes off where he wants, gets stuck frequently, if I want him to do the kitchen he pisses off to the dining room. Then he comes back and tries to knock me over.

Kurt Vonnegut

Rodney
I talk to him a lot.
He’s getting a bit lazy in his old age though and may need replacing with a younger model soon. Keeps hiding under the sofa.

Our Roomba is called Roomie, named by unimaginative dp.

Changingmynameyetagain · 07/08/2022 01:45

Ours is called Margaret and I love her, she quite often gets stuck where the door jam is between the living room and the hallway and the kids will shout about Margaret getting stuck again!
I always say hello to her when she sets of on her morning wander round the downstairs.

Team robbo

If you know you know

Steelandsparkles · 07/08/2022 02:16

Euphemia. Although I wish I’d picked a boy’s name but it stuck immediately.

I had forgotten about the idea to get her some googly eyes though so thanks for the reminders.

plinkypots · 07/08/2022 02:29

Donald because it sucks obv

Puppypads · 07/08/2022 09:55

Ours is just called Eufy, I'm a bit ashamed he doesn't have a more imaginative name now!
Still he does Gods work in this house and I prefer him to the children 😁

Aposterhasnoname · 07/08/2022 09:58

Dusty. He has the obligatory googly eyes and a love/hate relationship with Alexa.

Dajeeling · 07/08/2022 13:46

I’ve changed my mind from Dirty Bob- mine is going to be Mrs Doubtfire instead 😂😂👍🏻

OneTC · 07/08/2022 13:49

My friend has 2 different ones and plays them off against each other and berates the poor performer.
