SweepEZE – The Vacuuming Dustbin
When I first heard about this I was imagining a dustbin on wheels that would roll around the kitchen sucking dirt up, alas it’s not that clever but is still pretty darn cool. The SweepEZE Vacuuming Dustbin resembles an ordinary old kitchen bin but it has a hidden talent, the ability to automatically suck up dirt.
The SweepEZE sort of does half the job of sweeping the floor, you’ve still got to the actual sweeping but instead of stooping down with a dustpan and brush (or sweeping the dust it under the carpet or cabinets), simply sweep the muck pile under the SweepEZE. It will then detect the muck (with it’s infrared eye) and suck it up, hey presto clean floor!
You can get the SweepEZE from Amazon for $34.97
Shopping can be a very tiring hobby
I have a feeling I now know where the phrase “shop till you drop” comes from, if this gizmo is anything to go by. Dubbed the Compact Sit-Down Shopping Cart, you wheel it around like any other normal shopping cart, filling it up with essential groceries as usual. The advantage you hold over other shoppers is quite unusual – when your legs start feeling wobbly, all you need to do is pull down the plaid seat cover and plant your tush on it.

Pimped Out John a classy masterpiece
How many of you have actually played Gears of War on a 20″ LCD TV, sipping on a nice, cold beer (the vital drink that sustains all of us at Coolest Gadgets), listening to our favorite tunes on the iPod? I’m sure that many would have answered in the affirmative, but when you realize that one can do all that in the loo, your jaws are guaranteed to drop, just as mine did when I laid eyes on the Pimped Out John from Roto-Rooter.

THIS THING BLOWS! Umm, it’s a wind turbine called the Loopwing.
Loopwing, I don’t think can even say it without smiling.
Go ahead give it a try!
The Loopwing is a new wind turbine from a Japanese company.
There are, aside from the fact that it’s a great looking home wind turbine to save you and your family lots of money on electricity by using good old free wind power, some great features on the Loopwing.
It’s quiet balanced “globe-rotating” style blades have a number of features not found in typical home turbine systems.
It can operate in winds as low as 3.6 miles per hour (1.6 meters per second). That’s a very light breeze.
Another advantage of the beautiful design is that it reduces vibration greatly over other designs. This is likely due to the length of the wing chord, and that along the length, vibrations can be sent towards the edge of the “globe-rotating” style blades, and thus they likely don’t end up shaking the whole system. (It’s only a theory).
It’s quoted at being 43% efficient, which, if true, isn’t half bad, especially when you consider that the more expensive solar cells don’t approach 20% efficiency, a bundle of these babies could be just what the doctor ordered, (I’m looking at you San Francisco, Chicago, and anywhere in Wyoming!)
The length of the blades really seems to be the real trick for this new wonder.

The System is Down. (I shut it down.)
So you’re at work, then your phone rings with an ominous warning. “Your home is flooding.”
Well maybe it doesn’t say just that, but it does indicate that water is spilling into your house in a more than unappreciated way. With the new Liquidbreaker, which by the way made Popular Science’s best of what’s new list for this year. You can remotely shut off your water, and save all your stuff from a very soggy ending.

Speak, your TV is listening
If your wife, children, and dog won’t even listen to you despite holding the title “King of the House” by proxy, take heart. Smarthome has the InVoca 3.0 Voice-Activate IR Remote Control that enables you to bark commands at the idiot box sitting in the living room without having it throw tableware in your direction or peeing on your newly polished car rims. This unique device utilizes your voice to perform a variety of functions over various household entertainment devices such as the TV, a DVD player, a VCR (there are still some people who use those?), a cable box, a satellite receiver, and even your very own home theater system.

Ecopod e1 Home Recycling Center brings green initiative home
The world’s getting warmer with all the gas guzzlers that are sitting in our garage, so why not bring some recycling initiative home with the Ecopod e1 Home Recycling Center in order to ease the load on Mother Nature? Designed by BMW Designworks, the Ecopod looks like a high-tech waste bin but it is actually a pretty simple device by itself. This Home Recycling Center enables you to dispose of an aluminum can or plastic bottle through the top opening, where stepping on the step at the bottom will compact the recently disposed trash into a more manageable size.

The RoboMop is a neat robotic solution to cleaning smooth floors. It does look a bit cheap and plasticy but if it saves a bit of menial labor who cares what it looks like.
