If the Jetsons had a vacuum cleaner, this would be it.

That is definately cool. Any guesses as to how much something like that would cost?
My estimation would be around $750 to $1000 (I didn't just overlook a price did I?).

Here in the UK, they sell for about 200 pounds, they're really popular (they don't lose suction thanks to some clever design...ooh-err!).

The Jetsons didn't have a vacuum cleaner?

Sandor: No, Rosie just sucked.

I love the fact that the vacuum cleaner has a red light that glows if it's feeling threatened by a child or a pet or something, but I worry that perhaps they might have a glitch in their programming that could cause them to start shooting "ULTRAKLEEN" lasers at the source of their threat. I mean, have TV Movies taught us NOTHING???

That being said, I'd buy one. I'd just tell my kids to watch out for the lasers.
