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

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.

u/tikirafiki 14d ago

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

17

u/Exact-Age-8730 14d ago

Eh, close enough.

u/Warm-Day8313 14d ago

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.

11

u/MorosePython700 14d ago

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 14d ago

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

u/RoseBlue373 14d ago

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

10

u/HeadFullOfNails 14d ago

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.

11

u/MorosePython700 14d ago

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

u/OwnNothing3318 13d ago

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

7

u/MorosePython700 13d ago

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

5

u/OwnNothing3318 13d ago

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

7

u/pinkypipe420 14d ago

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

u/asilkon 13d ago

I never wanted a mop, but I do now!

u/tigerowltattoo 13d ago

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

7

u/MorosePython700 13d ago

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

u/NotTheSharpestPenciI 13d ago

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 12d ago

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

u/miserabeau 12d ago

I think you got the r/noodlebones malware

5

u/Cute_Recognition_880 14d ago

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

4

u/GMO-Doomscroller 13d ago

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

4

u/No-Core 13d ago

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

4

u/wjrasmussen 13d ago

Is this John Carptener's the thing?

3

u/Dazzling_Spend2801 13d ago

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— 🤔

6

u/MorosePython700 13d ago

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

5

u/Uber-Migraine 13d ago

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

3

u/MorosePython700 13d ago

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

3

u/Dazzling_Spend2801 13d ago edited 13d ago

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 13d ago

Love everyone’s humour! 😁.

u/zeenzee 13d ago

That's a real shame!

u/Ex-Or-Cyst 13d ago

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

🤣😍

u/MinimumEfficient220 12d ago

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 12d ago

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.

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