Prediction: On the fence
Multiple variations of this idea have sold in catalogs for years, and certain speciality retailers do a steady business in the basic version of this solution (which the commercial indicts). So, from a sales-history perspective, this item has promise.
Certain limitations of the product prevent me from going all the way over to a positive prediction, however. For one thing, this problem strikes me as fairly low on the scale. There is also the matter of this product being strictly utilitarian, which is to say it lacks the "wow" and demonstrability of the best DR items. Still, the commercial makes a strong case for the item's necessity, and the offer is certainly rich enough to close the sale.
