Toshiba and Electrolux team up to make a snail-inspired vacuum cleaner
Vacuum cleaners, by and large, are boring looking. They're utilitarian devices that are designed to do their jobs and then sit in the closet without being seen. But Toshiba and Electrolux decided that they didn't like that, so they teamed up to design a vacuum cleaner that you wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in your living room.
The result of their partnership is the Escargot Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner. It weighs a mere 4.6 pounds, making it easy to tote around, and it has a 50-watt high-suction power plant that brings plenty of power to your cleaning. And if you're in Japan, you can grab one for a mere $113.

Do the Japanese vaccuum on their knees? Or is this designed for their shorter and smaller bodies? I prefer to do my vacuuming while seated, or in worst possible scenario, standing. Actually, the best thing is to have my cat do the vacuuming, steering the Roomba by sitting on it. That's the best. And funniest. And cuddliest. And nomiest. Death to Smoochie
on your cellphone!
