Suctioned Trash Collectors

The Vacbin by Jocelyn Sie is a Hybrid Vacuum and Garbage Bin

— June 16, 2011 — Tech
You know there's tidying up to do, but it's just such a hassle to load that heavy vacuum cleaner out of the closet. Enter, the Vacbin by Jocelyn Sie.

Not necessarily designed to tidy large spaces, this clever gadget keeps your carpet neat between more serious housekeeping efforts. It's perfect for crumbs, dirt, and whatever else you can throw at it within a confined area, and the best part about it is that it's always on-hand.

The the handheld cylindrical device doesn't have a substantial vacuum bag, and that's because it's kept tucked away just under the lid of your trash can. There, it's easy to access, and the Vacbin by Jocelyn Sie is intelligent enough to dispose of its dusty contents the moment it's placed back into its dock.
