"Pardon me while I tear apart the central vac to find your wedding ring and false fingernails" "Yikes, smells like a small animal died in here"

How embarrassing - it's manufactured in Ontario Canada about a hour's drive from me.

Frankly I can't imagine that anyone is so accurate as to sweep every speck of countertop debris into this small dustpan-sized pull-out contrivance without some landing on the floor.,,where standard cupboard baseboard kickspace central vacuum inlets have been a useful accessory for years now.

Shown sweeping away a few flakes fallen out of a bowl of cereal ready to eat. Why bother? Just dump them in the bowl...are Milady's countertops that filthy?

Their own long video demonstrates the inadequate airflow, with anything heavier than cornflakes having to be encouraged with a 'flick of the fingers'. And you'd fall in to the habit of opening it a second time to be sure the heavier stuff was sucked away...buttered toast crumbs will stick to the tray. Severe OCD'ers would spend hours checking the crumb status.

I hate to think of the stinking rot that will soon emanate after a few careless ingestions of salad cuttings as shown, when one neglects to empty the 'wet interceptor' bucket regularly - a labour intensive activity on its own judging from the one shown.

Oh well, at least it comes with a week's worth of neighborhood bragging rights before its negative aspects would naturally cause the inconvenience to fall into dis-use.

Suggested retail price - $99. On sale for US$69.95.

or

Hollow-handled Plastic dustpan you could install yourself or use manually...~$4 at the dollar store.

When I get this lazy or infirm just put me out of my misery, please.
