Sharp has finally introduced a moe imouto robot vacuum cleaner capable of following instructions and engaging in tsundere outbursts, bringing the long wait to an end.
Sharp’s Cocorobo line of robot vacuum cleaners, known for their useless bells and whistles in contrast to the pathetic if highly functional stupidity of their Roomba rivals, have for some time boasted voice recognition functionality in the top end models, but Sharp has decided to take things a step further and introduce a full-blown moe character for the device.
“Precoco-chan,” as she is known (although like a good little sub she will accept to any name her owner chooses for her), leads a cheery and adorable “imouto-like” existence, but much like the real thing is occasionally prone to moodiness and sullen defiance – though whether this is intended to explain her violently bashing furniture and choking herself on wires as robot vacuum cleaners are wont to do is another matter.
Like a real imouto she is even capable of simple conversation, with examples provided:
“What would be good for lunch?”
“Ummm, okonomiyaki is very tasty♪”
“What exercise should I do today?”
“Erm, how about a jog around town♪”
“What exercise should I do today?”
“Can’t you think of something like that for yourself.”
“You have a cute voice, don’t you?”
“Thank you. I think I’m gonna blush♪”
“You are good at cleaning.”
“I-It’s not like I cleaned up because I wanted your praise or anything, OK!?”
Precoco-chan herself, if rather artlessly appliqued to the unit does boast good moe heritage in the form of character design by mangaka Kinusa Shimotsuki and vocals by 16-year-old seiyuu Ibuki Kido, of GJ-bu fame.
Home automation fans can also apparently look forward to remotely controlling various other consumer electronics through her onboard wifi, promising a whole new era of robot vacuum cleaner chaos – at least until the project gets shut down by random tweets about her being demeaning to women and promoting child labour.

I always wanted to talk to my vacuum cleaner.
Better: I always wanted my tsundere vacuum cleaner to talk back to me.
I-It's not that I want to suck on you or anything.. B-Baka!!
I-It's not like I'm s-stuttering because I'm tsundere... I have a neurological disorder!
stuttermoe always works with tsundere
"My imouto-like vacuum cleaner can't suck this much!"
I thought this is an CD player haha
No, it's a Frisbee!
A frisbee is fine, too.
it's obviously a waffle iron.
I always talk to my vacuum cleaner. Begging, more like.
Who doesn't want an imouto good at sucking?
maybe if she's older
Only if she's younger.
cant get much "younger" than fresh out of box :P
Her shorts are see-through!
toddlercon
What are you doing in this site? Better leave before it is too late and you become a freak like the others!
you mean start to like younger?
I salute you and your comment, lolicon sir.
says the real lolicon
actually, anyone who didn't think this within 30s of reading the article is wrong on sancom =)
2nd this
Ah good wondered how long that would take but really should have been the first...certainly the first thing I thought of...
Does she come with a hose attachment?
no i'm not crazy for talking to my anime roomba
Waiting for the Dyson model that doesn't stop sucking no matter how much I..uh... clog it... yeah!
Spats!!
Yeah, great. Now these things are gonna fly off the shelves for all the wrong reasons.
Like sad Otaku who want to shove their dicks in it.
lol, I guess if you want an otaku to shove his dick into something, just post a loli sticker on it...
where's that electronic pencil sharpener...?
duh, there's paper shredder already
no matter how small it is, pencil sharpener is just illogical. keep the sarcasm believable, dude.
I was thinking of saying paper shredder first but it just didn't seem to fit right. It should be a pencil sharpener because reasons.
How about a meat grinder? With a yandere face?
I hope it says 'Gouwwwll' every time it is turned on.
'as robot vacuum cleaners are wont to do is another matter.'
huh?
it would be hilarious if someone has to devirginize it and got stuck,y'know what i mean....
no we don't
insert dick joke here
wow just wow!
I too can print out cartoon and stick it on pricey vacuum disc model desu!
SHARP
is this company still exist? oh my...
there smart,they know if they want to survive they must enter the loli market
Well, she's going to do all the sucking.
Puns.
just what we need, yet another device that sucks
I just thought of something... Japanese use Wasei-Eigo, which results in some rather funny words. This could be a case like that, with "Coco" being a retardation of "cock" lol
Cocorobo = Cockrobot
Precoco = Precock
doesn't even make sense
I'd have laughed at your post if I were 6 years old
Yes....

Seriously though shit creeps me out, and mark my words, someone will go to the hospital for ahem; trying to clean their little imouto vacuum...
Umm, look at it. This shit isn't going to sell guys, what do we do?
Oh wait, I have a sticker collection, hold on!
Of course! Sticker collections solve every problem!
It's a pretty cheap idea. They should have at least put a figurine riding on top or something.
that's even cheaper. it could easily break.
