Well, how about something more "modern" in a vacuum cleaner?

Kinda like a motorized plastic toy snail.

Huh... At first glance (call it tthe VacuSnail )I thought it was just
some eccentric designer gone mad but ...surprise...it's made by
Philips.
I think it's weird to give the kids vacuum toys to ride. :P
I"m glad I didn't ride a VacuSnail when I was a kid...How
embarrassing.. :P

More vacuum cleaners:

Yeah, I know. They all suck.

After looking at those vacuum cleaners, doesn't the original Hoover:

now look somewhat more conservative?

Ever wonder what to do with an old vacuum cleaner air filter?

From past experience, art and engineering mix like oil and water.

Ick! Artsy vacuums..
I think a vacuum should look like a tool not like a plastic toy
farrari. No amount of eye candy can make vacuuming fun.

I'd like to see a home vacuum made by NASA engineers! :P
All function and little glitter.
I'd buy that.
It can be painted orange like the space shuttle tank.

Or perhaps a home vacuum designed by weapons designers using military
specs.
"Tough enough to suck up burning napalm." :P
Perhaps old cruise missiles could be turned into vacuum cleaners :)
