Owners of Roomba robot vacuums have complained the devices appear drunk following a software update.
Problems include the machines spinning around , constantly recharging or not charging at all, and moving in strange directions.
The devices maker iRobot has acknowledged its update had caused problems for a limited number of its i7 and s9 Roomba models.
However, it added a fix would take several weeks to roll out worldwide.
In the meantime, the firm is asking those affected to share the serial numbers of their devices so it can remove the most recent update.

Joe Biden’s Peloton exercise bike could pose a cyber-security risk should he bring it with him to the White House, experts have warned.
The high-end connected workout machine has cameras, microphones, and a tablet, that allow riders to record live video of themselves taking part in exercise classes. The bikes, which start at £1,750, also display leaderboards where users’ performance is ranked against others.
