Unless you live in what the Lady calls “Carpeted England”, where even the bathrooms have a thick mantle of Axminster ready to soak up smelly spills, you probably don’t have much use for a vacuum cleaner. A broom and a mop will do the trick just fine, and leave you in silence so you can enjoy some music along the way.
But if you are unlucky enough to have carpeted floors, you could at least do yourself the favor of sucking the filth out of them in some style, with this Electrolux/Toshiba collaboration, the Escargot. Weighing in at just shy of five pounds, the brushed metal machine can be slung over a shoulder for easy navigation of hallways, or just dragged by its handy handle. And its not just the size that is discreet — the Escargot puts out just 65dB of whine, which isn’t too much more than the superior brush/mop combo mentioned before.
In fact, the only confusing part about the Escargot (apart from making me wonder why you have carpets in your dirty house) is the name. Not only does it not look like a snail, we doubt it tastes anything like those wonderful, succulent creatures. $130.
