Mine are named Trouble (S9+) and Mayhem (m6). They're dressed in vinyl wraps to be less boring.
I call mine Cletus , because it ain't the smartest tool in the shed. At least once every run I have to kick it out from under it's nemesis...my living room chair. Where it has been bumping into the legs for 20m.

Makes you wonder about the conversion factor between Roomba years and human years.
My Roombas seem to last about 5 years (then they get transformed into experimental robot platforms). But since it's getting harder to find ones that don't connect to the network, I think I may just start actually repairing the one that's currently used as a vacuum when it breaks, so I can continue to have a good robotic vacuum.
Clean when people are away and pets when they are home.
We're going to get roombas with full AI at some point aren't we. Clean when people are away and pets when they are home.
i remember some guy bought a bunch of roombas and programmed them to play pacman. it was pretty neat

Not completely. If it's one that does mapping, that's all stored on the cloud. You can prevent some of the telemetry with a pi hole, but be aware that every run will end with a notification of "communication error" when the Roomba tries to report on you
Is there a maker of privacy respecting robot vacuum cleaners that you know of?
