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 17 points 19 hours ago

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

Ew who let the peasants on here

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

So even robots are sick of their rulers. Huh.

That's more like knocking yourself unconscious.

“Bro, I went so hard vacuuming the living room last night.”

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

Our Eufy vacuum has the power switch on the bottom.

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

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

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

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours 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.

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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 16 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours 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.

Glue the switch, transcend beyond turning off your robo vac

[–] glowie@h4x0r.host 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

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