Plot[]
To speed up Gromit's chores of sweeping up, Wallace activates the 525 Crackervac, a vacuum cleaner with sharp metal teeth and which sucks up things really fast. However it goes after Wallace's crackers after vacuuming one on the floor, but Wallace pulls the box out of its mouth. Wallace tries to stop the 525 Crackervac from getting another cracker. Then throws the box to Gromit who then has a cowboy like showdown with the vacuum. While getting distracted by a cracker Gromit threw in the air, Gromit lassos the machine, which flings him on it's back while sending it out of control. Gromit ties a knot on its neck and then after a few seconds its bag bursts, causing Wallace (and the area where they are) to be covered in dust, and makes Wallace tell Gromit to get the dust pan and brush he was using in the beginning.
Trivia[]
- The 525 Crackervac runs on 4 wheels.
- It is unknown why, or if the Crackervac has the number 525.
- The 525 Crackervac does not have wires or a plug for the socket which explains why it has a built in cracker sensor.
- The 525 Crackervac's eyes flash on and off faster in countdown after it's neck is knotted and before exploding.
- The 525 Crackervac's tail comes off during explosion.
Goofs / Errors[]
- The vacuum cleaner malfunctions (as usual) and Gromit challenges the device like in a duel. The scenery changes to orange like in a sunset and Gromit stands with his back towards the window. On the window sill you can see cacti. Wallace is in the room near the door. The vacuum cleaner explodes and covers Wallace in ashes/dust. Wallace suddenly has the cactus on his head (also covered in ashes) and judging by the fact that there is a clean area behind Wallace on the wallpaper in the shape of Wallace with a cactus on his head he must have had the cactus on his head before the explosion, but we know he hadn't as the cactus was standing behind Gromit and Gromit stays clean after the explosion, so the cactus couldn't have moved. How did the cactus end up on Wallace's head?
- In the scene where the vaccum cleaner jumps up and down with Gromit sitting on it, if you look closely, you can see his tail is missing.
