Robotically Clean

The HANDY VA is handy convertible robotic vacuum cleaner that includes a detachable hand-held module that can be used for spot cleaning. We have seen many robotic concepts and before you file this as just-one-of-those; reconsider the dual functionality of this design!

The HANDY VA is a 2013 Red Dot Award: Design Concept Winner.

Value of Hot Food

The Vacuum Lunchbox is a neat hotbox concept that hopes to keep your food fresh and piping hot. The idea is to have the box airtight and that no heat escapes. I love the design style the idea of carrying this to my next picnic at Central Park.

Hairy Situation

Hairfall is a common problem across all generations and gender. It is kinda highlighted when we brush our hair or use a hair dryer. Unruly strands breakaway and gather in an embarrisong pile on the floor, and many a times we don’t find the time to clean the mess. With the Vacuum Dryer one can easily remedy the situation. One end of the nozzle works as a hair dryer and the other as a handy vacuum cleaner. Awesome!

Clean Both Ways

The Dual Cleaner is a unique combination of a vacuum cleaner at one end and steam cleaner at the other end. It’s process is such that it vacuums the area at first and then wipes cleanly with the steam cleaner. Designed to be a wall mounted appliance, the cleaner fits aesthetically into a home environment. A neat cleaner to have around!

The Sawdust Sucker Upper

The average person doesn’t keep construction goggles or a shop-vac handy, so it’s likely that you know just how irritating it can be to have dust and debris flying all over the place (especially in your eyes) when you’re using a drill! This ingenious device called the Motorless Vacuum uses the drills own rotational power to move the internal fan and create suction which draws dust into the reservoir. After you’re finished drilling, just remove the peripheral and dump the sawdust!

Form Follows Function, Maybe!

Gotto love the cheeky tagline of the 3F Concept Vacuum Cleaner, it says ‘Form Follows Function.’ Given that Yanko Design believes that ‘Form Beyond Function’, the debate surrounding this vacuum’s form and function, can get quite heated! To tie it up for you, the Triple”F” is a cleaner that it cleans, disinfects and freshens the air in your home.

The inspiration for this vacuum comes from ballet dancing: while at work it resembles a skirt, floating gracefully over your floor. Thanks to the different built-in filters, you can interchange the scented filters to get the aroma of your choice.

Features:

  • When the vacuum is OFF, it stands erect to avoid wastage of space in compact apartments.
  • When it is ON, it extends its base to gain better stability and a wider working surface.
  • The 3F cleaner is fully autonomous and can even reach its charging base on its own.
  • It can be controlled via smartphones and tablets, so that the user can ensure cleanliness remotely.

Clean Your Mind!

In an age of anxiety, every opportunity to reduce stress matters. Electrolux’s new UltraSilencer vacuum transform the chore of vacuum cleaning into a resource for personal well-being, with a meditation program developed especially for vacuuming. Sounds were recorded directly from the machine, then filtered & modified to create a palette of different “instruments” that come together in different tracks available on iTunes, Spotify & SoundCloud! Now you can clean your home & your mind. Watch it in action! —>

When developing the quietest vacuum cleaner ever – the new UltraSilencer – Electrolux discovered that the comfortable sound characteristics made vacuuming compatible with other activities. Together with experienced meditation expert, Gunilla Lönnberg, Electrolux developed a program for so called informal meditation while vacuuming.  The Clean Your Mind meditation program comes as a whole collection of tracks, easily adaptable to fit the size of one’s home.

Equating A Cleanup

The Equate is a vacuum cleaner for table crumbs and has been designed with the purpose of celebrating its form rather than hiding it. Most often we tend to find a cozy nook for such appliances, but designer Rich Park feels that we need to set this artistic work on a proud pedestal. It’s one of the rare examples where form, function and art are fine-tuned. Essentially, a very conceptual aerodynamic vacuum sits on a chrome cone-shaped charger.

Equate’s purpose is to be set on a table almost as a piece of artwork, while offering a casual function of cleaning up tiny crumbs or dust on tables and flat surfaces. The dual function of small and big suctions allows users to clean in a very natural way, without having to fuss with accessories. Also, the simple touch button interface is easy to understand. The vent holes are hidden inside the belly of the vacuum where it does not interfere with the main concept of clean and conceptual aesthetic look. The dustbin is also located on the belly; where with a simple push of a button will unlock and release the bin.

This sucks in the best way…

The Jet is what you get when you give a common household appliance a little bit of hawg-motorcycle style. The chromed-out design captures the spirit of the Harley Davidson brand with shapes, curves and exhaust elements taken directly from the line of cruisers. Even the handle is leather-clad like a replica of the Harley’s iconic saddle. Just one problem… it’s as loud as it is powerful… just like Harley Davidson likes it!

Better Than Roomba?

In a way yes, because this robotic vacuum cleaner uses eco-sense for operations! The Giving Tree is as robotic as the next iProduct and it cleans your space with TLC. The eco angle is included via the power system. It has been designed to conserve electricity and in a way harness some juice while it’s working. Before the engineers start their tirade, let me tell you that the idea is worth exploring. Unlike some commercially available robotic cleaners whose batteries die out within a year or two, having an eco-backup plan sounds better. What do you think?
