Watch the spot

This concept has been tried before. Allstar gave it a shot under the name Pocket Vac in 2013 and Telebrands tried it under the name Crumb Bug in 2014. No dice.

S7 Analysis: What previous tests are indicating is that a mini vacuum isn't really needed. A full-size vacuum is needed, and a handheld vacuum is needed, but a smaller vacuum for crumbs and other really small jobs is apparently slicing the need too thin.
