clipped from: A VACUUM cleaner which turns dust into solid blocks is set to end one of housework’s dirtiest chores.
t squeezes the dust into hardened triangular wedges, so it fills up more slowly and is easier to empty.
t could also help sufferers of asthma, hay fever and other allergies
which are made worse by particles escaping when traditional cleaners
are emptied.
South Korean electronics giant LG says the vac boasting “the world’s
first dust compression technology” will be available in Britain from
May 17.
It will cost between £150 and £200, depending on the model.
LG says it can suck up three times as much dirt as rival cleaners. And
it claims that other machines create five times more dust in the air
when they are emptied.
The LG Compressor
has a washable “high efficiency particulate filter” which gathers the
dust. Four levels gradually filter the contents down. The finer
particles which cannot be compressed are contained separately and the
rest is compressed by a swirling rotablade.
