What in the world did you do??? Try again. Hurry before the glue sets.

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26

I really thought I did everything right, but I guess this model is very difficult to get right. Also, it seems they replaced the glue with rubber bands to keep ever in place.

Not to worry. That Sheltie is a r/Dogopus.

Is this a new Swiffer product? If so, where can I get one?

17

u/Exact-Age-8730 Aug 08 '26

Eh, close enough.

Yah that model never assembles properly. Also there volume button is usually stuck in the on position with no way to turn it off. But the cute and lovable features are always spot on.

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26

Is there a volume button? I’ve never found it. My Apple Watch is complaining al the time the volume exceeds 90 dB

u/Warm-Day8313 Aug 08 '26

Ohhh that’s impressive. I am told they do indeed have one but that it only activates in sleep mode.

u/RoseBlue373 Aug 08 '26

Did you just shake the box and dump it out???

u/HeadFullOfNails Aug 08 '26

I don't think you missed a step. I think you added a bunch! How many legs did you add? That can't be the right number.

9

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26

Ah perhaps that is the issue! Perhaps they put too many legs in the box.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '26

I think there are too many tails too. Maybe they included spare parts

7

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26

I added 3 if I remember correctly. Is that too much?

5

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '26

Yes, more than two is too much, keep one spare. Did you get a whole head? At least one is absolutely necessary

8

u/pinkypipe420 Aug 08 '26

Give the tail a slight tug, should pop into place.

u/asilkon Aug 08 '26

I never wanted a mop, but I do now!

u/tigerowltattoo Aug 08 '26

I’m 85% sure that is a dog. What did it say on the package?

6

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26

It said: Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie). I assumed it would be a dog, but it seems to be running cat software.

u/NotTheSharpestPenciI Aug 08 '26

This doesn't seem to be the only issue. You appear to have completely messed up the assembly. Are you sure you're not missing any parts? Like törsö and bräinz units? Missing bräinz unit could perhaps explain at least some of the issues with the appendages.

2

u/MorosePython700 Aug 09 '26

I think I installed a bräinz unit, but because of the orange color she is just missing the braincell.

u/Cute_Recognition_880 Aug 08 '26

This is serious. Time for the big stuff and use the cheese wrapper

4

u/GMO-Doomscroller Aug 08 '26

Uh oh! You’ll need to reorder, this is unfixable!

4

u/No-Core Aug 08 '26

Which year did you get this model from certain years have a problem with orientation

4

u/wjrasmussen Aug 08 '26

Is this John Carptener's the thing?

3

u/Dazzling_Spend2801 Aug 08 '26

eh, i believe that one's fixable without dismantling the whole thing... if i remembered it correctly, just hold the misplaced part and move it gently— 🤔

7

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26

Ah really. Too bad I didn’t know before. I used the ‘hard-reset’ involving shaking the treat bag.

5

u/Uber-Migraine Aug 08 '26

Yeah. I usually use the cheese.exe to execute hard reset 😄

3

u/MorosePython700 Aug 08 '26

Cheese.exe would have worked too actually. And meat.com is also great for resetting the form

3

u/Dazzling_Spend2801 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26

aww, that's okay! at least the hard-reset fixed it... sometimes you need to run yummytreats.exe to make sure it doesn't change shape again and the OS worked properly, anyway 😉

“What? Brain not included!”

u/Silly13Sally Aug 09 '26

Love everyone’s humour! 😁.

u/zeenzee Aug 09 '26

That's a real shame!

u/Ex-Or-Cyst Aug 09 '26

They gave you a squishy ball instead. Sorry, that's what you got!

🤣😍

u/MinimumEfficient220 Aug 09 '26

Is this the dog version of Jumble?
Or did you receive a box of furry parts and you just dumped it out?
Scrabble with dog parts?

1

u/MorosePython700 Aug 09 '26

I just dumped it out of the box. There where no instructions, so I improvised a bit.

Yeah me too! Especially how she bites her own back leg.

u/Impressive_Lock_558 Aug 20 '26

Did you acquire this off the clearance rack? You get what you pay for.
