Canister vacuum cleaner with auto floor detection from Miele

As the Earth Day is just around the corner, we should really get to know some more eco-friendly products, and if possible try to use them instead of conventional ones. So, here, today, a canister vacuum cleaner with auto floor detection-Miele Earth for you. Let’s see this cute little guy’s suppose to save energy and help solve these ecology problems!

Miele Earth is the new canister vacuum cleaner from Miele S5 Series. Powerful 1,200 Watt electronically controlled S 5481 Earth, which is already in stores, is an Eco-friendly canister vacuum cleaner with 33-foot operating range, boasting some of the most energy-saving advancements the industry has to offer. Featuring an AutoEco setting that automatically detects flooring type, be it carpet or smooth floor, the Miele vacuum adjusts power for optimal cleaning performance and energy efficiency. While homeowners tend to think that the highest power setting is best for cleaning all surfaces, this is only true for smooth floors. Upholstery, drapes and carpets require specific settings for optimal cleaning and using AutoEco saves tremendously in energy consumption, and provides better performance and long term care for home furnishings.

Other green features of this canister vacuum from Miele include a 20-year life design model, use of easily recyclable virgin polymers, cadmium and lead-free coatings, water-based paints and low energy consumption. As with other Miele canister type vacuums, the Earth is ideal for indoor air with all fine dust and allergens being trapped in its unique Sealed System featuring a certified HEPA filter and advanced filtering dust bag. Miele revolutionary Filter-Bag consist of multiply, random-spun filter material and protective netting to reinforce the outer layer in order to ensure that dust and debris safely stays in the bag. Inside a Filter-Bag, air guides distribute dust evenly throughout the bag, achieving a 25% longer life cycle without any loss in performance. A downstream HEPA filter then captures even the tiniest of particles, retaining lung damaging particles inside the vacuum. Price for this vacuum is around $970.

Well, pricey yet interesting! Maybe with that money in our pocket we should get this little thing instead of a fancy dress, really! The world is our home, look after it.

Cute Mini Car Does Good To Protect The Earth

April 12th, 2010

"Bug" eco-friendly concept mini carWith the Earth Day driving closer and closer, the voice of “saving the world” becomes louder and clearer, I guess this is the time we should really be more enthusiastic over these eco-friendly projects as a consumer or a manufacturer alike! On the other hand, cars, the transportation we use almost everyday, is mainly responsible the the global warming problem. As we all aware of that, we’re really glad to see the eco-friendly project in the car industry gradually taking progress. The little “Bug” here looks really nice!

As the cities get more crowded and polluted, numerous automakers and designers are trying to tackle the problem of moving people around efficiently while not using materials that are harmful to the environment. And so is the Brazilian designer Ricardo Fedrizzi, who has recently sent in the images of his “Bug” concept mini car. It is a two-seater auto that is designed to go on a charge, making it a zero emission car for the city. Another point worth noting is the recyclable and renewable materials used to make the body of the car, which greatly reduces the vehicle’s weight. Besides, Fedrizzi’s concept also features an aerodynamic shape to maximize its performance.

Pity that it is only a concept at present and we may have to wait for days (if luckily, you know sometimes it takes months, even years)to see the practical car hit the market. But still this is a big progress, I’m really looking forward to the real one.
