Vacuum Shoes – Dyson Beware!
Home appliance maker Electrolux has created this conceptual pair of
vacuum shoes, which it thinks could revolutionise the way we clean our homes. Along
with the water-less Washing Machine of The Future, Electrolux is on a role. However,
let’s wait and see what actually arrives in our shops before getting too excited.
No one likes vacuuming the 
house which is why Electrolux has come at the
problem from left field. They might look like the ugly offspring from the
mating of a pair of slippers with some wooden clogs but, the idea is that if
you wear them around the home, they clean as you go about your daily life.
There are no technical details about how the vacuum shoes might
actually work in terms of power or suction but it’s good to see that there’s something
out there on the horizon that may make vacuuming a little more palatable. More at T3.
Another device to make us physically work less. What will happen to a good workout doing the vaccum? :-(
