The Broo-ver is probably one of the best ideas when it comes to simple, easy-to-use and practical household items.
When Ben Fursdon went to a landfill site, he was shocked at how many vacuums were being thrown away when they could simply be repaired and reused. After this trip, he decided to come up with a concept that eliminates the number of components in the cleaner, but is also easy-to-use and would be all around useful within the household. The result was the Broo-ver, which converts a broom into vacuum cleaner. There are jugs attached to the stick that "collect the dirt and unclips to reveal removable filters," according to Dezeen.
The Broo-ver is a great concept that will save households from purchasing expensive vacuums and it's user-friendly, which is always a positive aspect.
