The Dyson Air Multiplier fan ($300) works very differently to conventional fans. It uses Air Multiplier technology to draw in air and amplify it 15 times, producing an uninterrupted stream of smooth air. With no blades or grill, it’s safe, easy to clean and doesn’t cause unpleasant buffeting.

Dynon’s Root 6 really sucks, but that’s a good thing in the case of hand held vacuums. With twice the power of other hand helds, it’ll never clog or lose suction. The Root 6 uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery and comes with a specially designed combination brush/stair tool for cleaning.

There’s no need for dirt bags with the built-in clear bin, and the “one-touch emptying” system allows you to empty the trash without getting your hands dirty. At a relatively cheap $149.99, it’s great for cramped spaces like cars and apartments.
