Hiya, Here's a brief article about a new gadget -- a computer mouse with a built-in vacuum cleaner. Does it have a HEPA? I dunno.

Hi Mole, Whatever it picks up is deposited in a little plastic box inside with what appears to be a filter on one side. I guess you can call it bagless but not cyclonic. Best Venson |

Is it manual height adjustment or automatic? Is it a 2 or 3 speed motor?, Does it clean in one pass?. Can you use it as a hand dryer?, does it come with a cord or batteries. Will it plug into your car lighter for portable applications?, does it have a 2 or4 stage nitrous system? Is it under 500.00................... mole |

Hey Mole,
Believe it or not, it only costs about $30 American. As for any of this machine's other possibilities, if you turn it on and leave it your pocket -- who knows what could happen. Venson

Hello Venson: You may have read/heard recently that doctors are taking a new tact on clogged arteries. Rather than a stint and blowing the clog up and out, they are sucking the clog out with a vacuum. The results are amazing. Using the old method of blowing could and did result in a clog later on elsewhere down the path of the artery from the clog remnants/remains. The new vacuum method precludes the reoccurrence of the clog. Carmine D
Per Carmine's post, here's a link to the Philadelphia Inquirer regarding the artery cleaner.

While we're on the subject of the latest brainstorms . . . Whatever are the folks at Bissell thinking? The company has gotten reall good reviews by way of its Healthy Home model but has now come up with the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of regarding an upright vacuum. I am aware that pet hair removal is a sexy selling point and indeed the model in mention is the "Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum". Sounds just fine but all this is is a $170 bagless upright with a lint-picking bar attached to the front of the cleaner. The price is nice but, come on already, shouldn't a revolving brush be enough? Why would I buy an upright that required that kind of help to get a rug clean? I'm attaching a link to a demo video of this new marvel in and also a link to its user manual. It has a standard air-powered mini-nozzle that should also be sufficient but some sort of soft plastic doo-dad of dubious value has been thrown in too. http://cache.vendaria.com/vpop/VpopV6.html?ct=13&ctname=CT630X556D630X390&fw=630&fh=556&logo=49&fv=9&ap=vnd_bissell_pet_hair_eraser_3920&purl=MAIN_bissell_pet_hair_eraser_3920&iid=sbpgzLIuvIlJlJquLvumgwqKqvIqvv&bg=ffffff&nm=BZOpener&curl=&err=0&title=Bissell&tp= User manual: http://www.bissell.com/images/UserGuides/3920_907.pdf Stuff like this makes me want to give up shopping.
