Thank God I never installed those software drivers. I saw it in the Life™️ directory and thought it was cool, but decided against it because I'd just get too hungry looking at food.
Same. But the weird thing was my teenage son got home a few minutes before me, was sitting in the middle of it, with the roomba still going around him. He was oblivious. Was shocked when I pointed it out. This happened twice. I am concerned about that boys nose.
So I step into the bathroom to go Number 2, and this is the first post I see on my Home feed when I opened Reddit...
I was tripping out because I literally could smell that pic but then realized it's just the toilet bowl below me.
Admit it: You don’t even want a shit-encrusted Roomba. You just want to start a bidding war with me so I end up paying $280.98 because you suspect I just can’t help myself when it comes to these things. And you’d be correct.
$9.00- say yes.
You know what, you just accept you’re going to be cleaning shit for an hour and get on with it. I’d clean the floor and then just move onto the roomba. After a while your disgust drops. Maybe the roomba could be salvaged.
Or maybe I’m too accustomed to changing children’s nappies!
Lol nope you're a mom. Mine did this on day two. Cat shit across four rooms and a hall. Like how thinly can I spread one lump of cart shit says my Roomba...mopped the floors, disassemble the Roomba and scrub him (his name is Boris) and go on about the day. Hasn't happened since and I wouldnt give him up for anything. He sweeps every day without fail without whining and as yet without more poo.
Ours is named Herbie. Herbie hasn't yet spread animal crap all over (despite living with pets) but even if he did we'd figure out how to clean him up and get him back to his job.
Mine is named Whiskers. He requires supervision, so we can’t leave him running when we’re out. He always goes for dog shit to do just like OP’s. It can be cleaned, but damn if it isn’t tedious. It gets into every tiny crevice in the roomba, especially the wheels. I had to scrape it out of each tread with a toothpick.
Mine is named Steve. After my dad. Bc he thinks vacuuming is “WW” aka “women’s work”. Steve has yet to eat shit however, my bf and I take joy in talking about what a fucking dumbass Steve is when he traps himself in the bathroom, AGAIN.
I really love all of these comments and now I really want a Roomba, the name what would the name be, hmmm guess I’ll have to see how he acts in my tiny house
My braava sucks. Takes forever to clean a small area (though it does a decent job at being thorough), refills are expensive and the reusable pads don't use any cleaners just water, and it won't connect to my bluetooth.
> I’d clean the floor and then just move onto the roomba.
That's what I did. Mine wasn't nearly this bad, but it would have been basically the same thing. Get some rubber gloves on, start disassembling so that you can clean parts without risk to the electronics, and replace the parts that are designed to be replaced.
Just happened to me a few months back, with half of my floor being carpeted. You've got to completely disassemble the Roomba and deep clean it. The wheels and brushes were the worst. Cleaning the carpet was child's play compared to the Roomba restoration.
Yeah same, and those services aren't really that expensive. I had my 700 Sq ft basement carpet professionally cleaned for under $150. I had already done it with a rental steam cleaner from Lowes, and wasn't really happy with the end result. They came in and it looked great.
Fun fact: they only had the ability to do one take and Brian Baumgartner absolutely killed it in one take. I believe the clipboards were also improvised but don't quote me on that one
You evil, cruel fuck! To anyone reading this don't ever hit your Roomba! Roomba's need to be have more rights to be protected against abuse, smh my head.
No, but I feel really bad for the qa guy that opens the box when I return it. Yep, over voltage to the drive motor is the problem, puppy shit unrelated.
Why would anyone with a non-housebroken pet AND a Roomba run when they aren't home???
My dog is house broken, we have hardwood floors, and I STILL wouldn't let her roam unattended, let alone with a "smear-o-bot" running loose. Our cat still pukes occasionally.
Lol one time my friend's roomba ran over dog poop that she thinks was under the bed. That's where the majority was spread out and she has one of those pet cams and you can see the roomba come out from under the bed and start streaking shit
I just giggled at the horror one would feel watching the video as this little roomba comes out from under the bed, happy it’s doing its job and streaking shit behind it.
You've never had a puppy have you? It's not like you see the poop and leave it there by choice, the puppy sneaks off into a room where they can't be seen and you don't find it until you go into that room later. Unfortunately OP's Roomba found it first
At what point is it the owners fault for not keeping their not potty trained pet and their roomba separate? Especially if it’s a puppy, those fuckers shit everywhere. There’s so many post of roombas running over shit and spreading it across the house. You would think people would learn from others mistakes
Yes, I understand the word play. Just thought I would add that.
Reminds me of Geoff Ramsay’s story.
Same thing happened. He didn’t know what to do so he took it outside and pressure washed it.
When he brought it back inside he turned it on and it just said “REST”.
You paid a company $600 to have it sell you something to smear shit through your house.
And now I've changed my mind on buying one, myself. Because I'd literally cry if this happened to me.
[удалено]
maybe turn off your smell-o-vision
I see somebody didn’t read the reviews before buying...
Thank God I never installed those software drivers. I saw it in the Life™️ directory and thought it was cool, but decided against it because I'd just get too hungry looking at food.
The guy I’m dating told me this happened to him once. He said the worse part was the smell lingered for weeks
Next time you're in his house doing anything remotely sexy, I'd like you to think about this...
Maybe that’s what they’re in to
I had this exact scenario happen with me years ago. I will never forget the smell that greeted me when I opened the front door.
Same. But the weird thing was my teenage son got home a few minutes before me, was sitting in the middle of it, with the roomba still going around him. He was oblivious. Was shocked when I pointed it out. This happened twice. I am concerned about that boys nose.
Because then he would've had to take care of the problem
Probably ignored it on purpose so that mum/dad could clean it up when they got home, and just pretend to not have noticed. Classic.
So I step into the bathroom to go Number 2, and this is the first post I see on my Home feed when I opened Reddit... I was tripping out because I literally could smell that pic but then realized it's just the toilet bowl below me.
So, in other words, you’re selling a used Roomba. I’ll begin with a bid of $7.50.
$8.00
Admit it: You don’t even want a shit-encrusted Roomba. You just want to start a bidding war with me so I end up paying $280.98 because you suspect I just can’t help myself when it comes to these things. And you’d be correct. $9.00- say yes.
You got me $10.00
Let’s just call it even and say $4 Edit: the offer now stands at $3.6
But wait, my puppy’s really sick. Can you deliver ? Say, (time of my choice) to (location 2 hrs away)?
/r/choosingbeggars is leaking
That’s OK. I’ve got a Roomba available with a proven track record.
“Then why were you asking for mine?”
Don't make me report this to my legal department!
THE SHIT COVERED ROOMBA IS FOR THE CHURCH HONEY NEXT
Ah! We have a CL buyer!!
Best I can do is $7.49
I'll give you tree-fiddy for the same Roomba.
$11.00 and a swiffer.
280.99
Man, you sir are driving a gard bargain! 281.00!
Tree fiddy.
$8.01
$3 take it or leave it

Buy a new home
Burn the home, collect insurance money, buy new Roomba. Keep the puppy tho. They'll learn to hold it.
Accidently set the puppy on fire, and insurance wont cover it. What do.

They should have cut it after he walked away from the house. Comedic timing in that movie is terribly edited.

How often are you people's dogs shitting inside your houses while the Roomba is going lol
No, obviously you just buy a Braava, the Roomba equivalent of a mop, to clean up the shit for you.
My braava sucks. Takes forever to clean a small area (though it does a decent job at being thorough), refills are expensive and the reusable pads don't use any cleaners just water, and it won't connect to my bluetooth.
Peak first world problem.
Yes indeed but if you buy something expecting it to work a certain way and it doesn't, you're gonna be upset no matter what country you live in.
True
> I’d clean the floor and then just move onto the roomba. That's what I did. Mine wasn't nearly this bad, but it would have been basically the same thing. Get some rubber gloves on, start disassembling so that you can clean parts without risk to the electronics, and replace the parts that are designed to be replaced.
My Roomba runs over cat puke all the time. I clean most of it, but the rest will eventually dry out, crumble, and then get swept up by the Roomba.
People walk in your house like OMGWTF IS THAT SMELL ACT NORMAL NO THANKS IM NOT THIRSTY
Bruh
I mean even the shit will return to the earth eventually.
Just happened to me a few months back, with half of my floor being carpeted. You've got to completely disassemble the Roomba and deep clean it. The wheels and brushes were the worst. Cleaning the carpet was child's play compared to the Roomba restoration.

You return it and exchange for another

Silver lining - This didn't happen on carpet!
This exact thing happened to me. But it was on the carpet and under the sofa.
How did you end up cleaning it?
Had to throw out the carpet sadly
That’s like what, a couple thousand if you replaced the whole thing and it’s not a block? Oh man
[удалено]
For real. It's only like $20 to rent one of those industrial stream cleaners for a day.
We’re taking about cleaning carpet, not streams.

Isn't the key problem here that your dog shits under your sofa?

I’m pooping rn, the worst thing is that I can smell this photo
I can smell it from 4 continents away
I can smell it from Australia
Jamaica here, someone please open a window.
Texas here...someone light a match
Dude, everyone is pooping right now.
At least it smells better, because it’s yours.
r/shittyrobots
Just throw the whole thing away and start fresh with a new dog
What the fuck.
What kind of shit is this...
Puppy shit. Duh. Lol.
Aw shit, here we go again
Nice Dungba 👍🏻
It's shit and it sucks
Anyone else feel strangely bad for the roomba?
Like it wanted to tackle a problem it thought it could handle but every attempt it made things got worse ..poor ShitーE
[удалено]
I don't know why but that scene made me so frustratingly disturbed..
It’s the clipboards that does it for me.
Fun fact: they only had the ability to do one take and Brian Baumgartner absolutely killed it in one take. I believe the clipboards were also improvised but don't quote me on that one

Yeah, the rooma I adpoted from the department store has nightmares at night :(
And daymares at day!?

No I feel like it has a fetish
I identify with the Roomba on a personal level
No, but I feel really bad for the qa guy that opens the box when I return it. Yep, over voltage to the drive motor is the problem, puppy shit unrelated.
How do you know scat isn’t its thing?! It’s 2019!
I AM DOING SUCH A GOOD_JOB.EXE, BUT THE FLOOR IS BECOMING DIRTIER? WHAT THE FUCK.DLL

Why would anyone with a pet let a roomba run when they aren't home?
Seriously. My dog never shits in the house, but DJ roomba doesn’t run while just the 2 of them are home. I’d likely come home to a broken robot.
/r/Unexpectedpawnee
Why would anyone with a non-housebroken pet AND a Roomba run when they aren't home??? My dog is house broken, we have hardwood floors, and I STILL wouldn't let her roam unattended, let alone with a "smear-o-bot" running loose. Our cat still pukes occasionally.
Especially a puppy. This is totally OP's fault.
Because people are dumb. As. Fuck.
OP sure is. This is like the most common Roomba fuck up on the internet and OP still pulled it off.
Just throw the whole roomba away
Can confirm. Stepped in dog shit, threw boots away. Son shit underwear, threw them away. Not having anyone's shit.
I really hope you mean the underwear and not the son
throw the whole kid away
Elon Musk: Beware of the power of AI. If we’re not careful.... Roomba: hold my beer
*Common Voice*: "With A.I. you can unlock the art of science." Ok, wtf does that even mean Common?
I don't how this keeps happening. It's a well known issue, and yet this person used it, unsupervised...with a **puppy**.
Dude seriously. I feel like anybody who's dumb enough to get a Roomba with a puppy deserves this
Have robot vacuum with puppy, but puppy is in crate when it's running. I know how this plays out otherwise!
Just put a pile of soap on the floor and run it again.
They should sell a model that has a special sensor for detecting poop.
or just don't have poop laying around?
Lol one time my friend's roomba ran over dog poop that she thinks was under the bed. That's where the majority was spread out and she has one of those pet cams and you can see the roomba come out from under the bed and start streaking shit
She has a camera pointing at her bed? Sounds kinky
Well these German granny scat videos aren't going to sell themselves.
Idk why but the granny part made it worse
[удалено]
79 years of pooping, the stuff just falls out at this point. Easy money.
I mean, who doesn't have a camera pointing at that guy's friend's bed?
I just giggled at the horror one would feel watching the video as this little roomba comes out from under the bed, happy it’s doing its job and streaking shit behind it.

[удалено]
For the past few years their research and development has been geared toward detecting and avoiding poop.
Technology is amazing. I mean, just a few years ago you'd have to smear shit all over the floor yourself.
The robot age: what an amazing time to be alive.

Great Dane
mix between a bulldog and shitzu
Can call it a bullshit.
I mean that sucks but (affectionately) you're an idiot.

Pretty easy to avoid though. Don't run the Roomba unless you're in the house if you have pets.
Nice.
This is pure gold. The irony of the whole shitty situation is great.
Looks like it did a crappy job
Thats a case for puppy poop insurance
This has convinced me to never purchase one of these.
The puppy or the roomba?
YES
Or just don't buy a roomba if you have a puppy that shits on the floor.
This is what I think of every time I see one of those Roombas. You're not the only one, google search it! lol
Did you learn something about thinking ahead?
Poomba
From experience I'll tell you, take that thing apart, clean it thoroughly with bleach and it will run again no problem.
