Don't have one, but if I had, it would be either Kryten or Scutter.
Chives the Indentured. Once he has repaid his value he will be augmented with a chainsaw and set free to wreak havoc upon the world like all robot vacuums wish to do.
Mister Back and Forth, as named by a toddler watching it clean.

It's a our third Deebot, and the Costco model is TEO so its name is 3Tee-o.
i don't use it anymore since my current apartment layout isn't suitable, but it was called Cosmic Owl
Minuet... because we have her talking in french like a sultry holgram I once knew.
Mine's "Mako" from Mass Effect, since it has a penchant for running itself off of cliffs (stairs)
It's a Shark, so we call it Mako
We have Alfred and Mrs. Doubtfire.
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.
Do you have a lot of carpet? Tbh they seem to work best if you have non carpeted floors. Also, there are a zillion robot vacuums out there and the lowest pricing tier sucks major ass unfortunately. If you're not looking to spend at least $250, anything below that isntrash and absolutely not worth owning at all.
Roborock S5 series and higher are the best ones, and I love them. They work great and save my wife and I shitloads of time.
