This happened to me roomba sent me a new one after i called customer service.(just said it stopped working, didn’t mention details). Cleaning up was a bitch tho. I dont schedule a run in the morning anymore
Could be worse. Could have been a screw or something and it did that as a huge scratch you can’t get rid of. Not fun cleaning up the poop…but it can be cleaned :) floors need a deep clean anyways (kidding)!
Does vinyl plank usually have space between them? Mine doesn't. I was thinking it's actually wood look ceramic and it covered the grout with poo. Which is way worse than if it was actually click-lock vinyl
That depends entirely on the surface. Porous surfaces let stuff soak in. Plastic shells are not porous. You can get reusable nappies made of synthetic fibres (i.e. plastic) that you wash and use again. Shit is not some magic substance that eludes washing; you can clean it with soap, water and mechanical action.
whats the point of it then? because if i have to monitor the "automatic" vacuum its less than worthless isnt it? would you buy a washing machine that destroys your clothes unless you watch it for 3 hours? also why arent your animals housebroken? if they cant be why run the roomba? imagine causing problems for yourself and wanting sympathy. "i dont care for my animals or my house look what happened"
Eh most are not that great anyway imo, unless you are willing to drop significant money on them, still its limited by its size, and wont perform as well as a dyson or something similar anyway, from using cheap vacuums to using a dyson v10 was enlightening how much a good vacuum can work compared to a cheapy, or a robovac thats weak.
Re-learned this lesson last week. Was feeling sick, woke up in the middle of the night to my bf puking his guts out in the toilet, walked up to see is he was alright. First step in the hallway slipped on some cat vomit. FML.
Got a puppy. Got a roomba. Asked wife to PLEASE PLEASE not use the roomba unsupervised before puppy became house trained. Wife did not listen. Wife spent afternoon cleaning floor and begging me to clean the roomba. Wife did not use roomba unsupervised before the dog became house trained again.
To be fair, wife did clean the outside of the roomba which was most of it but I had to take apart the middle swirly thing and clean it because she didn't know how to.

Call iRobot. They’ll probably replace the unit for free.

My moms roomba caught a dead mouse the cat had dragged in. I was the only one who could clean it without retching. Yay me.

Don’t show me this! I’m getting a puppy tomorrow!

Sounds like a feature request ?

The newest Roomba is supposed to be able to detect it.

It grouted the vinyl with shit

I have been laughing at this comment (and the post) for about five minutes now.

It grouped the grout? Idk what I'm saying

Terrillion
It's quite common, yes. At least in the nothern part of Europe where I'm from. You can buy both though.
Jawesome19
Yeah I noticed that after I said it, probably tile at least easy to clean with a mop
ucandcantunc
Vinegar and water, we had this happen twice, we call it the shit tornado.
ucandcantunc
For the vaccum 409 or FANTASTIC.
Catimodes
Poopocalypse.
spaceseed83
I would walk in, smell it, walk out, and call someone else to clean it. My gag reflex is too over excitable to deal with that XD
Ghlargh
At first that sounds like you being snarky, but i guess if you _know_ you're gonna throw up you would just make the mess worse.
spaceseed83
Oh yeah. I would 100% throw up. Likely many times. I'd call either a pro or a friend, but either way they would be paid
Kess9215
See the shit in the wheel grooves? A bunch of that got caught inside the body of the bot as its wheels were turning. Throw it out.
unluckyandbored
Yup. There's no salvaging it, not without tearing it all the way down and cleaning EVERYTHING. Just throw it away and get a new one.
TheFishFace
Those things are expensive... tear it down and clean everything.
Kess9215
Sure, you can try this, but poop soaks into surfaces. That plastic body is no exception.
TheFishFace
That depends entirely on the surface. Porous surfaces let stuff soak in. Plastic shells are not porous. You can get reusable nappies made of synthetic fibres (i.e. plastic) that you wash and use again. Shit is not some magic substance that eludes washing; you can clean it with soap, water and mechanical action.
InnocentValley
But take a video of the tearing so you can watch it in reverse as a handy little guide on how to build shitty roombas.

The final step will blow your mind!

This is why I don't have one.
MyQuietRiot
Thi-… this circumstance specifically? Seems like somewhat of a niche scenario at least at my home.
YouAreTheInsultMaster
A wife? A dog? Or a Roomba?
cobacalao
One.
jobe
Just dont run one unsupervised or when you are not at home.
fuckthisusernamebullshit
whats the point of it then? because if i have to monitor the "automatic" vacuum its less than worthless isnt it? would you buy a washing machine that destroys your clothes unless you watch it for 3 hours? also why arent your animals housebroken? if they cant be why run the roomba? imagine causing problems for yourself and wanting sympathy. "i dont care for my animals or my house look what happened"
fuckthisusernamebullshit
i thought that was the whole point? that you just run them when youre at work
indified
i figured the easier solution should be just don't have literal shit on your floor
MothMonsterMan
Oh look at mister money bags over here who can afford to not have shit on their floor!
TheFishFace
Pets do not always shit where you want them to...
TheFishFace
If you have to babysit it that takes a lot of the benefit away.

Is shit on the floor a common occurrence at your place?
Baron29
I have a cat with digestive problems. Puddles of puke on the floor is a very common occurrence

Why you always have a light on jsut incase you have to go up in the middle of night, learned that the hard way after a nightime squish.

I got the one with the poop sensor.

Did you clean the room a?
Ultratoxic
By 'clean' you mean "throw in the trash and get a new one"? Because that's the only way to fix that.
Pyrowolf1
I've cleaned one before. Not fun, but doable

Eh, the poop flakes you missed will slough off eventually anyway.
