The CleanseBot is a Germ-Killing Roomba for Hotel Beds

I don’t travel much, but when I do, I am always a bit leery of whether or not the cleaning staff really changes the sheets. I mean, all they need do is be sure that a few errant hairs are picked up and how would we ever know if the sheets were changed? If you travel a lot and fear how gross people are, this robot might be the thing for you.

CleanseBot is a cleaning robot that will clean the bed with no chemicals. This lightweight robot will roam surfaces with its  four UV-C lights that kill 99.99% of bacteria, germs, and dust mites. Simply place the robot on top of or under the covers of a bed, and it will drive around, exposing every inch of the bed to the bug-killing UV light. In handheld mode, it can also clean toilet seats, seat cushions, and more.

You can get your hands on an early bird offer for the CleanseBot on Indiegogo for just $99.

This Crazy-expensive Tiny Fridge Has a See-through Video Display Door

Compact refrigerators are great for small spaces like a dorm room. They are also great for bars and garages where you want to hold cold beverages. These fridges are mostly boring metal or glass-door affairs. But Hammacher Schlemmer isn’t known for normal fare, and its little fridge is something different.

The description is notably vague on how the display works, but what we know is that it has an integrated HDTV screen on the door capable of showing video, photos, movies, and screensavers. It appears that the door is see-through, even when video or pictures are on the screen. The fancy door screen supports full HD resolution (1080p) video playback, and can display content via a flash drive, streaming stick, or via its own internet connection.

The fridge has a 3.5 cubic foot capacity, and measures 35 1/4″ h x 19″ w x 18 1/2″ d. If you’ve got $2,500 to blow, you can grab one from Hammacher Schlemmer today.
