You don't talk to your vacuum cleaner??
I not only talk to them they have been named. The white one in the front room is Ruby and black one in the great room is Ronnie. This is not racist. They are inanimate plastic objects for crying out loud. 
Ruby refuses to clean the carpet and Ronnie refuses to obey the invisible wall and so goes wandering off where ever he feels like. You have to talk to them with some authority in your voice.
