# Pooper-Scooper Vacuums The D-Partner Tidies Dog Droppings So That You Don't Have to Get Dirty By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-05-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartner References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/05/05/scoop-the-poop/) One of the less-than-pleasant duties that comes along with owning a dog is cleaning up after his messes. The D-Partner was dreamed up as a way to make this domestic chore a great deal more dignified for both the person and the puppy. Inspired by the [household vacuum cleaner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xforce-flex-1560), Li Shi Ming came up with an outdoor design that you simply roll over stones, soil or grass like a lawnmower. Instead of you having to bend down and collect dog poo by hand, this sophisticated concept appliance could be run over it. Pull the D-Partner out from your backyard shed, turn it on and then tackle several days' worth of feces in one go. The D-Partner even has a [detachable hand vacuum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mopy) to deal with smaller deposits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Automated Pet Waste Cleanup:** The D-Partner showcases the trend of automated pet waste cleanup, offering a more convenient and dignified solution for dog owners. - **Outdoor Vacuuming Technology:** The D-Partner utilizes outdoor vacuuming technology, demonstrating the trend of applying household innovations to outdoor chores. - **Efficient Waste Management Solutions:** The D-Partner represents the trend of efficient waste management solutions, allowing users to easily and effectively clean up after their pets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Care:** The pet care industry can benefit from the D-Partner's innovative approach to pet waste cleanup, providing a more hygienic and convenient solution for pet owners. - **Home and Garden:** The home and garden industry can explore opportunities to integrate outdoor vacuuming technology, like the D-Partner, into existing products or develop new solutions for outdoor chores. - **Appliance Manufacturing:** Appliance manufacturers have the chance to tap into the market for efficient waste management solutions, such as the D-Partner, by developing similar innovations for various waste management needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Air Grooming Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grooming-vacuum.md) - [Stationary Pet-Friendly Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyevac-pet.md) - [Self-Cleaning Canine Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tineco-pure-one-station-furfree.md) - [Handheld Pet Fur Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ofuzzi-h8-apex.md) - [Cordless Vacuum-Mop Combos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreametech.md) - [High-End Dog Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-groom-tool-brush.md) - [Portable Cleaning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulito.md) - [AI-Powered Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dohyuk-joo.md) - [Maintenance-Free Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-dyad-pro.md)
