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.

[-] taffingitout@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

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.

[-] Sober_day@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Since we have a vacuum and mop ours are Vac Bop and Mop Steady

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Aang. He's an Airbender. The mop is Katara. The litter box is Toph.

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. 🫡

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.

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.

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.)

Robit, mimicking how Zoidberg calls Bender sometimes

[-] MisterChief@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] tjhart85@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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.
