Does your robot vacuum cleaner have a name?

I’ve just ordered one and in the reviews a few people mentioned that theirs have been given a name… Dirty Bertie, Henry, Sweep etc

Does yours have a name? Any suggestions for what I should call mine?

Yes, we call ours Roberta. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Norman price.

We were watching fireman Sam at the time and the name stuck.

Oh I’m glad this thread went down the right way, I was worried that it would be slated!

Brilliant names all round, after 3 girls maybe I can finally use a boys name!
Are most robot vacuums male? It seems so!

Dustin. I like dusty but I didn’t want a female maid.

Our very old one was called TED after the robot in Lunar Jim. The current one is called Jerry. DS2 couldn't decide between Jerry and Shaniqua but then decided to call his stuffed Salmon Shaniqua so the robot hoover became Jerry.

Buster.

If I am really cross with him for getting stuck somewhere silly or trying to eat the rug tassels, he gets called by his full name...... DaftDustBuster.

He looks a bit daft as I put his eyebrow stickers on skew.

Edgar.

After we had had him for about a year my mother said 'oh, because it's a hoover' and I hadn't twigged at all.

I LOVE these names!!

@Buffypaws Dustin would be a great one in our house as DD1 is a stranger things fan.

@Highlighta im a bit embarrassed at how much I laughed at your comment about the eye brow stickers!! Do they come as standard or are they a separate purchase? Do I need to break the Googly eyes out of the craft drawer??

Long name only when he's being an idiot
