Airthereal is shrinking its automatic dustpan format with the 'ArcVac Touchless Vacuum Automatic Dustpan,' a pet-oriented floor cleaner that lets users sweep fur, litter and other dry messes directly into suction. Built as a smaller follow-up to the T1, it swaps that unit's larger bin for a slimmer design that fits more easily in everyday rooms.
The unit pairs hands-free operation with a manual mode, so cat and dog owners can choose when it runs instead of risking accidental activation by curious pets. Its dust container holds more than 4 liters, and the emptying setup is designed to reduce hair tangles during disposal. ArcVac is currently available for $129.99.
At $129.99, ArcVac turns the automatic dustpan into a plausible everyday appliance instead of a niche cleaning add-on. Its smaller footprint expands where this kind of floor tool fits, especially in kitchens and entryways where a full vacuum can feel excessive.
