Channel your inner 'Little Mermaid' and start your own ocean collection (although the opposite of what Ariel collected in the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe) movie) with the Electrolux Vac from the Sea. And unless you have a [Dyson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-v15s-detect-submarine), your vacuum cleaner is probably really boring to look at; Electrolux vacuums are all jazzed up.

Each Electrolux Vac from the Sea represents a different body of water. Decorative ocean debris covers each edition until it is barely recognizable as a cleaner. I feel like these vacuums could almost become collector items.

Earlier this year, Trend Hunter Katie Cordrey wrote about this [initiative](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vac-from-the-sea), and now it has come to fruition.
