Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum -- $220
During a recent dinner party at my home a guest accidentally spilled a bowl of mixed nuts that, along with the powdered seasonings, scattered all over the floor. I immediately grabbed my new Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum and cleaned up the space in a flash -- thwarting this party faux pas and winning a few "ooh's" and "aah's" from on-looking gadget-freaks in the process.

This technological marvel is incredibly lightweight, features two interchangeable nozzle attachments, and, most notably, boasts the fastest, most power-efficient motor ever developed for a handheld vacuum. Dyson engineers have packed 104,000rpms into the DC31's digital motor, which, according to product literature, is fully five times faster than a Formula 1 racecar engine! That's some serious suction.
