The amount of people that get personally attached to their roombas is quite considerable. Assigning them names and personalities is common. Generally the helpless little goofball that gets stuck on things periodically personality is endearing.

iRobot had to change their repair workflow because their original plan was to minimize turnaround by having a pool of refurbished roombas, so they could send working ones out of the pool while repairing incoming ones.
Customers were like "wtf I want MY roomba" and were willing to eat long delays.

I have the same personality as a vacuum cleaner... 😟
You are looking at it the wrong way. The vacuum cleaners have the same personality as you. You are original and they just want to imitate.
Besides, your manufacture date is long before theirs. Any patents on your personality are probably expired by this point. Welcome to the public domain, friend!
Check the incept date.
TIL there is an Antarctic Film Festival, and there appears to be some in-joke about mickey mouse/steamboat willy... I hope I find out some day.
Some British people are also very attached to their vacuum cleaners.
Well, the "hoovah" is a marvel of human evolution. I'm just disappointed that they don't make them like they used to.
We had a middleclass Miele vacuum cleaner that worked like a beast for 10 years. Finally had to admit that retirement was overdue for the dusty fellow.
I have tried new models by Miele, sebo and another brand, all are considerably weaker and fail to get rid of cat hair in short carpets. If someone could help me find a solid one, open for ideas!
this is me with every piece of tech. my stuff usually doesn't make noises, so the machine must be very upset to beep at me.
