Vacuum at 118 miles per hour?

At the NYC Housewares event, I wondered about the strange shape of the Rowenta 18-V Delta Force Cordless Sweeper.  A spokesperson explained that the triangle “delta” shape lets this sweeper reach into the very corner of any room. The handle swivels 180° to easily grab dirt and dust. Add to that an engineered power boost, which accelerates vacuumed air up to 118 miles-per-hour! It’s a bagless design, with a 33 ounce easy-to-empty dust container. Rowenta says the Delta Force sweeper is the best sidekick a full-size vacuum.Once fully charged via A/C, you’ll get up to 40 minutes of cordless run time. You can use the Delta Force stick vacuum to clean hard floors and stairs, plus touch-up for carpeting. It picks up 99% of dust on hard floors, thanks to the patented suction-boosting delta head that features one large and two smaller canals. The integrated motorized brush that spins up to 3,000 RPM’s adds to the cleaning efficiency. The Delta Force Cyclonic system accelerates the vacuumed air through three filtration systems before it goes into the dust container. They didn’t have any dust at this event, but they did have small bags of oatmeal. I emptied one on a scatter rug and easily vacuumed it up. The Delta Force stands up for storage so you don’t have to worry about leaning it up against something, or it constantly falling over. It ships with a 6’ charging cord. Weighs less than 10 pounds.  It’s currently available in Harvest, but will be available in Pearl, Copper Red and Intense Blue, starting April 1^st. Under $180.
