Handy Hoover Droids

The Combi Vacuum Cleaner Works with and Without Your Direction

When asked about their satisfaction with their robotic hoovers, many consumers confessed that they often carry out second cleanings because they don't trust the automatic gadget. The Combi Vacuum Cleaner was born from this distrust. The idea was to combine the smart technology and the convenience of a dutiful droid with the handiness of a manual vacuum.

A member of Samsung Design, Gwang Chae Jung conceived a streamlined appliance with a smooth white shell, despite its many parts. The top of the Combi Vacuum Cleaner is the removable dust buster, complete with a handle. The rest of the machine moves about the room intelligently by means of integrated mapping and an acute sensor. The innovative device even boasts speech recognition technology to take verbal commands.
