I literally didn't know that Zamboni was a brand name and thought all ice resurfacers were Zambonis until a week or so ago they're that dominate in that market.

For me, reading about a zamboni causes always a short thinking pause to identify its meaning, as in Czech, we call a zamboni a "rolba", because of... a name of a Swedish company. (This process is called genericization or apellativization.)
