The U2-C1-series housekeeping droid was manufactured by Publictechnic. The model had a bare humanoid frame cast from a blue hardened plastic, and had a vacuum arm made from black flexi-hose. One was equipped with a stiff wire brush to remove persistent stains and the other had an attachment for cleaning upholstery. Both arms connected to the storage bin located in its middle, emptied via a hinged panel at the back. The droids were usually employed as robotic janitors or night maids.[1]
The U2-C1 model lacked a personality matrix, though it had a photoreceptor slot and a vocabulator capable of speaking Basic, because Publictechnic chose to eschew a streamlined frame personality matrix to achieve a more cost effective line. The droid's external parts snapped off easily, but replacement units were dirt cheap, and serious complaints were rare.[1]
In later years, thieves found the droid's household keeping software easy to infiltrate and alter. In one hotel, a unit was programmed to go into the rooms of customers and vacuum up jewelry and credit vouchers. Another one sucked up a time bomb into its belly and exploded outside of the office of the executive as it passed on its way to buff the lobby floor.[1]
