Vacuums are great at picking up fine dust but suck horribly at bigger pieces of trash. Can we say clog anyone? Of course brooms have their caveat too. They’re great at moving big pieces of litter but forget about dirt and pet hair. Why not combine the two into a Vacuum Broom?

It’s lightweight and compact and just like any broom, comes with a dust pan. The thick bristles are perfect for shuttling trash into the pan but what makes it a vacuum broom are the suction ducts inside each hollow bristle. It may not be a Dyson but sounds like a good basic solution for hard floors and area rugs. added on 2007-12-14

There’s been quite a few ingenious alarm clock concepts of late. They all have one thing in common - force you to physically get up to turn them off. The Carpet Alarm Clock is a variation to that whole meme. In order to turn it off, you have to get up and step on it. If you really want to make it a challenge, place it far away from your bed. Of course it wouldn’t be a clock if it didn’t have and LCD screen to indicate time too. added on 2007-06-22

stand up to wake up, simple as that...

Drinks with ice plopped in 'em are all well and good but nothing beats the tingly texture of a slushee. The way all that pulverized fruity ice slips down your throat is heavenly on a hot day. Indeed swishing a slushee around your mouth is almost as satisfying as swallowing it. (Try saying that after a few frozen margaritas).

The trouble is, in order to enjoy one of these fantastically refreshing drinks you need to visit a Kwik-E-Mart-style store or wait until you come across someone selling them at a fair or festival. Failing that you could always buy a slushee machine. 'But aren't they enormous great things that cost a fortune?' we hear you ask. Well yes, they are normally. Thankfully the Slush Ease Home Slushee Machine is nothing of the sort.

As its name suggests this ingenious table-top contraption allows you to make slushees in the comfort of your own home. And if you're a slushee fan it'll pay for itself in no time. Using the mains-powered Slush Ease is a doddle. Simply load the drum with ice, ordinary table salt (don't worry, you can't taste it) and your juice of choice, and watch in wonder as it churns out a seriously cool slushee.

As well as fruity slushees the Slush Ease makes a mean frozen margarita. In fact you can make all kinds of frozen cocktails, daiquiris, martinis, cosmopolitans - the possibilities are endless. You can even experiment with coffee and tea. And watching the churning process through the clear drum is almost as entertaining as gulfing down your slushee.

Whatever concoction you decide to make, the Slush Ease is certain to add an exotic, icy touch to any soiree. And if you're worried that this idiot-proof device might end up gathering dust alongside your fondue set and sandwich toaster, don't be, because once you sample a Slush Ease slushee you'll be hooked. Anyone for an Abominable Snowman?
