The upcoming release of the new Star Wars film in December has brands creating new products and solutions that coincide with it to garner more widespread appeal as seen with the Samsung POWERbot VR7000. Coming in two design options including Darth Vader and Storm Trooper, the vacuums are crafted with the helmet aesthetic of each character to make it look more like a piece of memorabilia than a powerful appliance for the home.
The Samsung POWERbot VR7000 vacuums offer WiFi connectivity and can be controlled via your smartphone, while also playing sound effects for each character. This brings the appliances to life and makes them more suitable for home environments to ensure they are a charming accent rather than just a robotic helper.
