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?

Mine’s called Dobby. I thought I was being very unoriginal so am surprised there aren’t any other Dobbys!

Ours is also Dobby! I thought it was such an obvious name - I'm surprised there aren't more!
Loving the idea of calling him Edgar (because it's a Hoover) - if we ever get another one, I'll have to call it that.

Algernon.

Is also our resident squirrel. I imagine his tail would make foe excellent sweeping.

Dustin from dds obsession with stranger things. He also has googly eyes and a springy tail. I love him!

Timothy
i gave him googly eyes but he scraped one off when he went under the tv cupboard and I didn’t replace it,I might make him an eye patch instead

i reckon I could start a side business making robot vacuum accessories. I think people are mad enough to spend money adorning their robots with bow ties, earrings or even small shoes

Yeah- my Eufy is called Bernard. Always makes me chuckle seeing the alert in the app claiming "Bernard is stuck!" 🙃
