I'd prefer the five tonne version that comes with a gatling gun.
My mother would prefer one that does the ironing. My solution to that is simply not to do any ironing.
I would quite like a robot chef since my solution to cooking is to find something which is frozen and heat it in the oven until it's done. I'm not willing to spend £10,000 on a robot that prepares more interesting food though.
A general-purpose robot butler that takes the rubbish out, washes the dishes (or puts them in a dishwasher), mows the lawn, mops and/or sweeps the floor and does the laundry... that'd be something, but I'd still plump for the gatling gun robot suit version given equal costs. A robot butler that says, "Get away from her YOU BITCH !" just isn't the same. :P
