Toy-Inspired Vacuum Cleaner Systems

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Papaya' Consists of Mini Vacuum Cleaner Spheres

— February 22, 2017 — Tech
It's never easy to get a member of the household to do their chores, so the 'Papaya' consists of mini vacuum cleaner spheres that turn the task of vacuuming into a fun game. Users simply take one of the spheres from the 'Papaya' system and go to work rolling it around the various parts of the home. This will enable it to capture dust, dirt and debris in order to make it possible to have fun while also helping to keep the house clean.

The 'Papaya' mini vacuum cleaner spheres are wirelessly designed and intended to be docked back in the main compartment unit when they are ready to be cleaned and charged. The 'Papaya' vacuum system is the design work of Edgar Andrés Sarmiento.
