R2D2 Space Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuum cleaners are just so passé. They're ugly, noisy and just so... utilitarian.

No longer! Now my floors are kept clean by none other than the cheerful, beeping, squawking legend of the entire universe... R2D2.

Equipped with an extendable hose with "smart" head, to clean under couches and cupboards, the R2D2 SVC could also take care of all of the dust, fluff and crap in your home. Most of the time it draws in air through the bottom of the unit, as it passes over the floor surface.

Special recognition software also identifies any stray pieces of LEGO accidentally sucked up, routing them into a small container so they don't end up being tossed with all of the cat hair and pizza crumbs.

       I've no idea what a "roomba" is.

       Almost like a Rumba, but with Star Wars licensing agreements.

       My place has always had a certain lack of astro droids.

       Will it come with an accompanying gold-coloured humanoid translator droid to pass on your instructions ?

       I guess that depends upon how intimate their relationship becomes?
