So here's a random tool we think would be a brilliant addition to our spring cleaning repertoire: the Dyson Groom—a $70 attachment that lets us vacuum our dog (Hero, a red Australian Cattle Dog). The Groom's stainless steel bristles help comb out loose hairs and dead skin and, with the flick of a button, the shed fur is swooped into the vacuum chamber. Good for allergy sufferers, your upholstery, and your clothes. Seriously, we're going to save a fortune on lint rollers this season.
Check out the R&D video, above, which features lots of cute dogs getting vacuumed. And then a close-up demo video after the jump.
And here's the Groom attachment in action:
