The worst one was probably this automatic floor sweeper thing we bought from America — a Roomba Discovery Robotic Floor Vac of all things.
We were excited about it when we spotted it and it wasn’t too expensive. It sounded wonderfully futuristic and we had the notion we’d sit there quietly having breakfast on a Saturday morning while it cleared up around us.
It was about 1ft in diameter and about 4in high and it was quite cute whizzing around, but it just kept going wrong.
It would pick up a few bits and pieces and then drop them back all over the floor a few moments later. It drove me absolutely crazy. I suspect it was some sort of prototype and maybe they work better now, but we sent ours back. It was a complete waste of money.
