This happens constantly. I had tape on it for a while, but even that failed.

Picture above is dramatization without the tape for clarity's sake, today it poked through the tape and shut itself off, this is how I actually found it:

Oh, that's where the off button is! Excuse me, I'm just a peasant who only has a shovel and broom.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Look at Mr moneybags over here, with a shovel AND a broom!

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

Ew who let the peasants on here

hell yeah, complete design L on Shark-Ninja's part

That's more like knocking yourself unconscious.

Exhibit A, why the robots will not take over

Our Eufy vacuum has the power switch on the bottom.

[-] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

In a good way or like the apple mouse has its charging port on the bottom way?

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

It seems well placed. It isn't really meant to be routinely turned off. The switch is recessed a bit and covered with a clear flexible cover.

I only turned it off once. It was recently because I didn't want it to run it's scheduled task until I could protect the Christmas tree.

isn't eufy the one that was caught sending videos from their products to their servers unencrypted?

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

All we have is the vacuum. I don't know about any of their other products.

The vacuum isn't intelligent enough to capture video, let alone get online and send it anywhere.

It does a good job on the floors, though.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

that's good, i guess as long as you don't give it wifi it's perfectly safe to use

You have the world's most expensive useless machine, nice.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

If you're not planning on getting a new bot anytime soon you could relocate the spring higher on the trim, or even up above the trim on the drywall (preferably where there's a stud)

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I have many of them in similar locations, this is a rental and it was a problem at the previous place.

But yeah otherwise that's a good idea, installing an alternative to the spring could also work.

This will be my last shark ninja product anyway, they've done me dirty on other products and they don't sell spare mechanical parts, only brushes.

Next time you tape over it, try this. Cut an old credit card, hotel key card, or something similar to just larger than the switch's recess. Tape only the top edge to the machine so that the stiff plastic or cardboard covers the switch, but can be lifted up and out of the way when you need to access it. I've used a similar trick to protect light switches I wanted to occasionally use, but not accidentally flip along with the other switches in the next gang over.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

So even robots are sick of their rulers. Huh.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 9 points 11 months ago

In all seriousness, the easiest solution is probably just to move the door stop a few millimeters up

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Put a piece of cardboard under the tape

[-] glowie@h4x0r.host 9 points 11 months ago

That’s pretty funny, but damn you gotta clean that thing lol

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Guilty as charged! I will clean it and report back.

[-] glizzyguzzler 8 points 11 months ago

Glue the switch, transcend beyond turning off your robo vac

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

if you have a 3d printer you could print a cover for it

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

If they don't have a 3d printer, a small square of cardboard taped over the switch will also work.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Don't do it, though. Doing it is like quiting the game.

Sure, you're not having fun, but do you really want the other side to win? They don't deserve to win.

[-] CriticalThought@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Your vacuum has been upgraded to an “ultimate machine“!
