Solid Gold Hoovers

The GoVacuum GV62711 is the World's Most Expensive Dirt Picker Upper

— June 27, 2012 — Unique
When it comes to cleaning equipment the GoVacuum GV62711 is easily the most glamorous and expensive cleaner in the world. This luxurious 24k gold-plated carpet and floor cleaner is sure to leave no questions about an individual's immense wealth, disposable income and social status.

This exorbitantly overpriced domestic accessory features superb cleaning capabilities; although, its main selling point is of course its lustrous golden exterior. This light-weight dirt destroyer has a sleek slender design and despite the fact that it is plated in gold it tips the scales at only 15.5 lbs. For the individual looking to spend $1 million for an unusual housecleaning duster buster, the GoVacuum GV627711 is just the ticket. Unfortunately only 100 of these gold-plated vacuum cleaners will be designed, customized and shipped to wealthy buyers; this could have something to do with the design, but, most likely it's due to the $1 million price tag.
