What the Actual Duck?

 


Here's a clue:  Taking a piece of plastic garbage, painting it green, and giving it a duckbill might make it a pretty, cute piece of garbage but it doesn't make it any more than a cute piece of garbage.

Also, there is no way to make vacuuming "fun," no matter how adorable or light the vacuum is.  If you are wandering around looking for little messes to clean up you are lost and you need to break free from whatever cult brainwashing you've gone through.  

Also, if you really think that anything recharged with a USB port can generate this level of suction power for more than a few minutes before it needs to be plugged in again for several hours/days, well, you have a lot to learn about the laws of thermodynamics.  This is as credible as the pocket-sized aqualung thingee that was supposed to let you breathe underwater for hours or the umbrella that used air to deflect the rain or the tiny portable air conditioners that can make your backyard feel like a frozen tundra during a heat wave.  Sense it does not make.  Creating a "vortex" (because that sounds cool) takes a large amount of energy, which means you need a big, heavy battery or a power cord connected to an outlet.  Sorry, but there is no third alternative and until Physics Itself is turned on its head, there won't be. 

In short, Horsepower Duck is a really stupid, really obvious scam and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it sold a million units and made some Shark Tank Dropout really, really rich.  Because come on, we are a very dumb People.
