Cleaning Up and Keeping it Fresh

Dirt Devil’s got a new line of Karim Rashid-designed vacuums that look just as great as they clean. The Kone is a small, handheld vacuum that you’ll WANT to leave sitting out on the counter, ready to pick up your messes. Check our our video from the 2008 Chicago Home Show:

On to a vacuum of a different type. We also talked to FoodSaver at the Home Show about their new 3000 Vacuum Sealer. This unit sucks the air out of food storage bags to keep food fresh longer - and it’s totally hands-free once you put the bag into the unit. Prevents freezer burn and extends the lift of leftovers! Watch how it works here:
