Figure [1]: The super vacuum cleaner "Hoover Fusion

Michael Recently, someone asked on an internal Yahoo mailing list what the best vacuum cleaner currently available might be. Don't laugh! This kind of question comes up often, and it's actually very helpful to get everyday tips from reasonably educated people. The popular answer: the Dyson. It's one of those modern, futuristic-looking vacuum cleaners that supposedly unleashes such an infernal suction power that it outshines every device that has come before it. One Dyson model even has the fitting name "Animal." However, it comes with a price: $400 and up.

We are, as you know, still letting our Roomba vacuum robot ( Rundbrief 02/2006 Here's the translation to English:

"... but sometimes you spill something or want a deep clean, and that's when you need a proper vacuum nozzle. Spending $400 on a device that you only use once a month is, of course, absurd. So when I found out that the well-established vacuum company Hoover produces a Dyson clone for $110, I quickly ordered it online and had it sent to my office.

And this thing is truly phenomenal! I have no idea if the Dyson is even better, but at a quarter of the price, I'm happy to accept that uncertainty. I vacuum a part of the apartment every day because it's so much fun!
