Vacuum cleaner that not only attracts and addresses adults, or rather parents, but also their children. The children are invited to help out with the cleaning of their home in a fun, responsible and inspiring way. The children can ride on the vacuum cleaner and welcomes them to help out during cleaning. At young ages the children only sit on it and ride along, and as soon as they grow older they can take a more responsible part in the tidying of your home, by cleaning some areas themselves.Designer: Kristina Andersson TagsKristina-AnderssonHere's a great lesson to teach your kids: Why walk when you can ride? But Kristina Andersson's design concept for a riding vacuum cleaner encourages the young 'uns to help out with the housework, even if it's at a snail's pace. Jump for one more pic. There are no controls to accelerate or brake, so it's either one of those kiddie conveyances the little tykes will push along themselves, or it's a robotic vacuum cleaner like a Roomba. But if its battery lasts about like a Dustbuster's, the kid's not going be vacuuming for much longer than five minutes.

Rideable Vacuum Cleaner by Kristina Andersson [Yanko Design]Everybody can go home after they read this because I really, highly doubt you’re likely to see anything as amazing as this today. It’s a rideable vacuum cleaner. Just let that sentence sink in for a minute. It’s designed to get children to participate in cleaning around the house, but I guarantee that after a few shots at your next house party everyone will be clamoring for a ride. No, Virginia, it isn’t real—that is to say, it doesn’t really exist. But the design had us marking out in the chat room, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

Kids can sit on the back of the vacuum as it goes about its duties, letting them participate in cleaning the house.

It might not be a huge contribution, but it might just help them to realize at a young age that they can have an impact on keeping the house clean. Dave Hakkens‘ Dustball Robot Vacuum Cleaner concept takes a page from the book of existing robotic vacuums, but puts a new spin on the idea. The ball-shaped cleaner rolls around the floor, blowing air out to stir up dust and sucking it up into its hidden canister. When the canister is full, the vacuum just returns to its dock and begins to glow. While the concept is definitely intriguing, the ball shape doesn’t seem to be the most sensible for a gadget that is expected to clean in small and out-of-the-way places like corners and under sofas. Finding a decent storage place for a vacuum cleaner is a frustrating practice when you live in a small space. The Vacu-Broom is a student project from industrial designer Vinay Raj Somashekar that addresses this annoying problem. The small cylindrical vacuum is used as a hand-held cleaner for small messes.

A telescoping handle stores in the side of the cylinder, and when you want to use the vacuum for cleaning floors you simply remove it, extend it and insert it into the gadget’s main body.Afro Toilet Brush by Gumption DesignThis little monster stayed at my house while his owners were away last weekend, and he sheds everywhere just to spite me.
