Seriously. Check this out: http://www.trilobite.electrolux.se/
Is that the coolest thing ever, or what?
Only 1600 Euros. 
Heh. I just noticed how that thread title could be interpreted, having gotten used to the perves that y’all are.
There, stole your thunder.
Do they do lawnmowers too!??!
And “Trilobite” is a cool name.
BTW, are you the sort of person who bought a Kirby in the 80s?
Ahh, but did you click on “Press Releases”? They’re all dated November of 2001. Methinks their launch may have stalled.
Be careful with vacuum cleaner love. I read a story about this on News of the Weird. Not a happy ending.
It’s like one of those automatic pool sweepers, but for your carpet! I want one - it would be just one more lovely step to becoming a total sloth, and yet still have a clean place 
{wanders by, fixes Coldy’s spelling of “vacuum” in the title without bothering to read the rest of the thread as he REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO KNOW, and vanishes in a shower of pixie dust}
That is so cool! I saw one advertised at The Sharper Image Roomba Floor Vac Robot
The only problem I see with it is my dog and cat. I think they’d think it was an invader and attack it!
i want one right now!
NOW DAMMIT!
So, one night this Dutch guy comes into the Emergency Room and I swear to God …
No, they first started promoting it back then, but the commercial release is next month. The press releases are still from the R&D phase.
Uke, I was leaning between one and two c’s. Damn.
jjimm, what’s a Kirby?
Kirby is a make of hideously expensive vacuum cleaner, that doesn’t seem to be any more effective than a Hoover (the one I used wasn’t, though it did have a headlight), but with extremely dubious marketing and sales methods, that in my observation involve door-to-door “persuasion” of gullible pensioners and housewives, and high-interest installment terms over five years.
Ah. I have a Miele vacuum cleaner. It is red.
That’s all I knew, until I saw the Trilobite, and all of a sudden I find myself staring at pictures of a vacuum cleaner.
It’s strange, really. I mean, it doesn’t do 200 km/h, and it doesn’t have tits. Yet I’m attracted to it.
Very cool, but I want it to look more like an actual trilobite than a shiny red techno thing. I want a scary trilobite creeping around my room.
Wifecat and I are looking for a new shampoo carpet cleaner for home and I bought Consumer Reports online for a month to read what they said. Nothing about shampooers, but their vacuum section had interesting points. Basically the more expensive models aren’t worth it (Kirby and that british cyclone one). They recommend a few around $300. Worth reading if you are going to buy a vacuum- 1 time monthly access for $4 or so.

I saw something like this just last week. Though it didn’t go 200 km/hr (and lacked a penis, for my drawing card) it was quite zippy, making loud noises, and moving about the demo area franticly. I wanted one too and it wasn’t even half as cute as the Trilobite.
I feel your embarrassment: I fell in love with the Dyson vacuum cleaner, until I met its big sister, the Dyson washing machine. How YOU doin’? :dubious:
Wow, those are some kick-ass machines! I love that laundry machine!
You scared me there> AT first I thought you were referring to the dread Hoover Dustette.
