TriVac blower/mulcher/vacuum makes rakes obsoleteHow many times have you seen landscapers just blowing leaves from one spot to another, not really accomplishing anything? Usually they just blow them on someone else’s property and they’ll go back and forth like that until fists eventually fly, or two grown men end up fighting in a pile of leaves. Not a pretty sight.

This tool will eliminate any and all hassles when it comes to leaf blowing/sucking/mulching and you won’t even need your rake. The TriVac blower, mulcher and vacuum by Worx promises to make the leaves leave with as little work as possible. It lets you switch between blowing and vacuuming on the fly and it weighs just eight pounds, allowing you to operate it with just one hand. It will mulch leaves as they are sucked up. This may be the final blow in the battle to rid our planet of dead leaves, which have an annual failed invasion force once a year.

Raycop vac kills germs & bugs, looks alien
The Raycop vac looks like a weird alien stealth ship. This is the mothership that slowly approaches the carpet, casting a long, slow moving shadow that puts fear into bugs and germs. It‘s the Raycop anti-bacterial vacuum, now available in the U.S. and ready to shine it’s ultraviolet light on all anything small and nasty. This thing means business, with a 360-beat-per-minute vibrator that can shake all those mites and germs loose from the fibers they cling to.

Those creepy things invading your home will be dead in no time. It will set you back $250, but knowing that tiny germs are living out a Spielberg movie and getting sucked up by your vacuum mothership? Priceless.

USB vacuum mouse for neat freaks

USB vacuum mouse for neat freaks
Someone had to do it eventually. The question is why? Because they can, is enough of a reason apparently. They took a simple 800dpi laser mouse with scroll wheel and combined it with a miniature vacuum cleaner. It’s got a power switch on the side for turning the vacuum function on and off. Problem is this mouse needs to be connected to a USB port in order to get enough power to run the motor.

The dust reservoir can be accessed in the back-end of the mouse, but being so small, you would probably need to empty it very often. If you are a real clean freak, this is the mouse for you. You’ll be able to clean your mousepad as you click.

Issey Miyake unveils futuristic handheld cleaner

The future of vacuums
The Wind, Dyson DC16 handheld cleaner looks like it’s a Sci-Fi ray gun from the future, but you are more likely to see Han Solo cleaning up the Millenium Falcon then shooting lasers with this thing. The device is the love child of Miyake designer Dai Fujiwara and James Dyson. They apparently had too much to drink and started brainstorming about how sexy they could make a vacuum.

The result is a sexy new handheld carpet sucker at an affordable price of $194. It’s got a great steampunk look and a trigger. Need I say more?
