Tech Eye: Suck on this

Last time we examined the various things growing in the sink - atop of a mound of curry on plates that were last washed up with Noah and a pile of animals in an ark - they had actually transmogrified into intelligent beings and were developing their own systems of government. We're sure our floor is in a similar state; unfortunately we can't see it. But all this is about to change, with the recent addition of LG's Cyking VCC402CTU to our arsenal of digital delights. What we at first thought played CDs turns out to be a vacuum cleaner that will inhale all day long without pausing for breath. This red dust devil uses a Dynaclean suction system and has a dust-finding sensor (a bit like your mum, then), which measures the amount of dirt on the floor and then automatically alters how hard it is sucking to deal with the terrain. The washable filter expels only air, unlike some people we could mention, and not recycled dust, keeping your home spickety-span. The best part though is the talking. The machine tells you all manner of things, such as when it is changing power, when its bag needs cleaning and if your bum looks big in that little black number (at least we think that's what it said). However, we can't help but feel that LG missed out by not including a "you missed a bit" reminder, if only to see Mrs TechEye explode with rage every time it reprimanded her. Get your own talking dust muncher for around zł.1,200 or a medium-sized bag of magic beans.
