    Cool idea, but we are always leery of product sites where the "customer service" link is present, but links to nowhere.

    I have to say working in construction before, this is actually a very convenient thing to have. There are 5 gallon buckets everywhere on a job site, to have something just snap on to one and allow it to be a receptacle for a vaccum is pretty convienient. I just wonder how powerful the thing really is. Cause from the pictures it looks like if I dropped the thing it would shatter.

    Why... oh why... does EVERY frickin' picture of a chessboard have it set up wrong? A white square should be in the right hand corner for each player, not the left.

    Very cool to look at, but most likely very impractical. I doubt you can touch those tubes to move them when they warm up. Unless they don't get as hot as tubes in tube amps.

    Can they randomly light up so you can play whack-a-mole with it since chess sucks?

    But anyway, if there was StarCraft 500 years ago, do you think people would have bothered to invent chess?

    The generator pinion in a Seiko Kinetic watch spins up to 100,000 rpm... but it's extremely small.

    So when's Dyson going to utilize a motor that spins so fast, instead of trapping dust, it creates a tiny but powerful break in the space time continuum and the dust gets sent to another dimension?

    I've read several reviews that says Dyson vacuums aren't actually very good at vacuuming.


    It's pretty silly to come up with new wheel and motor technology when your product doesn't do it's primary job as well as 1/2 price competitors.

    I've been debating on getting a Dyson (full size version) and can't seem to pull the trigger. We have a dog that sheds and I've heard the Dyson vacuum is very good at getting the hair up and out of the carpet. Is this true? Are they worth the price?

    @Dr.Jeckyl: I love my Animal DC-17. I have two cats and every couple of weeks, I vacuum up a third cat in cat hair. It does require some maintaining. There is a U-bend that clogs but it is user-accessible and easy to clear. It also comes with a good assortment of tools like the mini-turbine head for upholstery.


    I had a Bosch before it (same basic design); it used plastic gears instead of metal which wore down and could not be replaced. It was a waste of $200.


    The DC-17 is a bit overpriced but pretty damned durable. If you're willing to part with the money, it's by and large worth it.
