28 Times Robot Vacuums Turned Cleaning Into Total Chaos

I'll be honest — I actually love my robot vacuum. It only took me about two days to realize that it's not really a substitute for a regular vacuum cleaner — it's its own weird little creature. The real magic isn't watching it clean (although let's be real, the first day I just stood there, staring proudly like I invented it). The magic is scheduling it to clean while nobody's home. Set it, forget it, and come back to a clean floor without lifting a finger. It's glorious.

That said... robot vacuums are also some of the dumbest smart devices you can buy. They have one job, but oh boy, they can absolutely fumble it. Shoe laces? Gone. Phone chargers? Tangled. Pet messes? Don't even ask. These little guys can turn an ordinary afternoon into a full-blown crisis if you're not careful.

In honor of our robotic helpers who try their best (and sometimes fail spectacularly), here's a collection of 28 robot vacuum fails that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe double-check that nothing important is lying on your floor right now. Bless their little spinning brushes — they mean well.
