Robot vacuum cleaner escapes from Cambridge Travelodge

  1. Staff said it just kept going and “could be anywhere” while well-wishers on social media hoped the vacuum enjoyed its travels, as “it has no natural predators” in the wild

    😂…….also ….it was found under a hedge

  2. I like to imagine that these vacuum cleaners all sit in a set of docks together charging and whenever the staff member collects them to do their work they have a brief smile or special interaction with the badass renegade vacuum; hell, I hope it even has a name, maybe even a special spot with a name badge and crown.

  3. Our robo vac seems to have a special knack of escaping. It’s managed to nudge open doors before.
    I’m starting to worry it might have sentience.

    Luckily our dog has worked out that it will avoid hitting her if she moves in its path so she’s learnt how to herd it (she’s not a herding breed) hopefully she can help us in our fight against our robot over-Lords.

    Joking aside. I resisted getting a robo vac for a long time but they are fantastic, especially for pet hair. Strongly recommend.

  4. After reading that title/headline i know i can go the rest of the day without looking at anything on line. Nothing will beat that

  5. Is anyone else shocked that a Travelodge even has a robot vacuum cleaner? I don’t work in the industry but I have been at the mercy of penny pinching management elsewhere, and it’s a surprise to hear about a technological investment like this in a business, rather than just laying off staff and making the remaining staff pick up the rest.

  6. Hey BBC, how come you’re not reporting the mess of Brexit and the miles-long tailbacks of lorries at Dover and Calais?

    *Well you see, there’s this hoover . . .*
