Transparent vacuum cleaner

Just as it says. A vacuum cleaner with all parts (except the motor) that come in contact with dirt/dust/debris transparent, so when it clogs, you can see where the problem is.

On edit: We're talking about clogs, not dogs :)

transparent vacuum and hose. http://www.robot-va...over_fold_away.html
They even say its so you can find clogs though how you suck a wooden shoe up your vacuum is beyond me. [2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 04 2004]

       Or stare directly into a clouded, dirty mess, still not knowing exactly where the blockage is ... however its still not without its novelty.

       moreover, I like it. Transparency for all.

       Baked, to a large degree. Though I haven't seen one with a transparent hose yet.

       In the same product line offer a transparent refrigerator (wall technology same as double pane windows). That way I can walk around it and look for mold instead of opening the door to figure out where that stink comes from.

       A use no one seems to have noticed...if you drop something small and have no idea where it's gone, just have a peek at your transparent vacuum! I find that very useful. +

       Baked. Dyson and a number of other companies already do this.
