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?

Reginald!!! And he's a bloody dick when he knocks things off (not at all my fault for leaving a half drunk cup of coffee on a small stool)

All three of my vacuums have names. The neato has ds2's name because it made me laugh to screenshot it on my phone and send it to him when it said "ds2's cleaning" The g tech is named after ds 1 because I tell him it's because it's a lightweight and spends a lot of time in the bedroom and the handheld has exh's name because it's surplus to requirements and was a waste of my money.

@OddshoesOddsocks
Which one did you go for? I'm looking but there's so many to choose from

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??

They came with him, along with huge eye stickers.

At first I put them on upside down , so he was going backwards 😂, and the second attempt they went on a bit squiff and that is how they stayed.

You most definitely need to find the biggest googly eyes that you can...

Bluey (because it's blue)

AwkwardPaws27 · 11/01/2023 15:47

Oh I feel I rather failed at naming mine. The older one is just the brand name (Eufy) & the newer one has a (crap) mop attachment and is Mopsy.

Eufy does have googly eyes I stuck on though.

SilliusSoddus · 11/01/2023 15:49

Ours also is frequently referred to as That Bloody Thing.

Mostly when it is insisting on following someone round the house - HOW do they do that?!?!

Euphemia McClean - or Eufy VIII as she is on the wifi. Because she is the seventh replacement for our original which lasted nearly a year while the subsequent successors barely scraped a few months each.

SpacersChoice · 11/01/2023 16:03

Mine is called Skynet.
