Electrolux - Silence Amplified Vacuum

We knew Electrolux is pioneer in making good vacuum either for home or industrial use. But I never think of they could invent a cool vacuum named Silence Amplified that includes built-in ipod dock and speakers. That means you will be entertained by music while vacuuming, isn’t it greats!




Lab results proven that music‐assisted vacuuming improves the cleaning experience. It has also a better cleaning performance than vacuum cleaning without music. Study shown different music styles affect cleaning performance in different ways. Overall, classical music is the best music style for vacuum cleaning. Totally agree with that as I love to turn on classical song while doing house chores. I’m glad that Electrolux could transform the vacuum from ordinary noisy types of sounds into a more relaxing form of music, and this for sure will gives energy to all the users.

I’m so impress with this new gadget and wondering when Electrolux will commercialize it. Read more ...
