Did you hear the one about the woman who got attacked by her robot vacuum? Well, it’s not a joke. The vacuum tried to eat the hair of its 52-year-old owner who was napping on the floor. Firefighters came to her rescue and eventually untangled her hair from the jaws of the robot vacuum, which reportedly went unharmed. But this got us thinking: what are some other times robot vacuum cleaners failed? We did some YouTube searching, and boy there are a bunch. There are many aftermath stories about robot vacuums smearing dog poop throughout a house.

Newton said he walked into his living room at some time after 3 a.m. and found that his Roomba, which is set to vacuum each night at 1:30 a.m., had run over dog poop his puppy had left behind. He called it the "Pooptastrophe."Newton said he saw dog poop on “every conceivable surface” and the sight closely resembled a “Jackson Pollock poop painting.”He then got to work trying to clean up the poop from the floor, floorboards and carpets. There were some casualties: Newton wrote that he knew his efforts to clean up a rug his wife loved were futile but still he attempted to clean it because he knew she’d ask if he had tried.

Newton’s Roomba didn’t make it either after he tried to wash it in the tub. Luckily, as he points out gratefully in his post, the store where he purchased his Roomba offered a lifetime warranty for any purpose and saved him from spending hundreds of dollars on a replacement device.After it was all said and done, Newton had turned to an impressive number of different cleaning products and methods.
