Watch the spot
There's a lot to like about this product. Above all, it's an effortless way to accomplish a chore everyone wants done but no one wants to do. Come to think of it, that's pretty much the definition of an ideal DRTV product!
The only possible negative here is that this concept was tried once before, in 2011, without success (see Micro Maid). But I never read too much into a single failure, especially when I don't know the marketer and the fail was years ago. There are many reasons projects fail besides lack of response, including timing.
S7 Analysis: This one aces the S7 as far as I'm concerned. It's even different in a quirky way, which I view as a positive. The Micro Maid was an awkward-looking contraption, and that may have contributed to its downfall.
