Robot Vacuums Still Haven't Floored Me

As I ran around the house picking up discarded cat toys and odd socks, I began to feel a nagging sense of doubt. I knew that no matter how hard I worked, I would soon receive a distress call from our robot vacuum, Gizmo IV, who always gets stuck in the same spot under the couch. After Gizmo finishes, I then have to pick hair out of the carpet, which Gizmo expertly clumps but never sucks in. After that, I could look forward to a face full of dust as I emptied its tiny, barely-half-full bin (despite Gizmo's protests that it can hold no more). In fact, the week after pitching this very article, I came downstairs to find foul-smelling skid marks across the floors. At first, I feared an infection had prompted her to wipe all over the house.
