Roidmi S1 calorie counting vacuum cleaner

Vacuum cleaner brand Roidmi have teamed up with leading personal trainer Sarah Lacey to create a cordless vacuum cleaner that combines with a smart app to let you know how many calories you burn every time you clean your house.

“You can burn up to 200 calories an hour vacuuming your home,” says Sarah. “This could be even higher if you clean vigorously, move furniture or have to negotiate stairs with your cleaner. If you cleaned an hour per day, you would burn off an extra 2lb every month.”

The Roidmi S1 is very light, one of the lightest cordless vacuum cleaners on the market according to the press release, and it boasts a run-time of up to one hour on a single charge. We’re guessing this’ll beat the run time on your other cordless vacuums.

“Most of the calories you burn are you moving around, not moving the cleaner. In fact, the lighter the cleaner the longer you can clean without fatigue, so you will even burn more calories.”

North Face Dryzzle Jacket

Lightweight, compact and stowable, North Face’s new Dryzzle jacket is also sustainable; as it’s made from recycled polyester and has a non-PFC durable water repellent.

It has a reliable, seam-sealed three-layer shell for active adventures in wet and windy conditions, and also features a stretch-knit backer that, unlike other shells, doesn’t feel cool on bare skin. This makes it perfect for active adventures that cause your body heat to rise, or simply when the weather starts to warm in Spring… ie now.

The Dryzzle is completed by an attached, fully adjustable hood, Velcro® sleeve cuffs and a snap-locking storm-flap to lock in body heat and keep wind and rain at bay.

Of course, there’s some technology involved. It uses FUTURELIGHT™, which they describe as the world’s most advanced breathableweatherproof outwear technology, and which is engineered using nano-spinning technology that adds unmatched air permeability to a waterproof membrane. We don’t know what that means either, but it’s been tested by The North Face’s elite athlete team in the world’s most extreme environments, which is good enough for us.
