Dyson Cyclone V10 – $899
Dyson has just introduced the world’s most powerful cord-free stick vacuum cleaner – the Cyclone V10. Remarkably it has 20 per cent more suction despite being smaller and lighter than V8.
The company has so much confidence in its cord free vacuum technology, it has actually decided to stop making corded vacuum products.
The secret sauce is the new Dyson digital motor that powers the V10. It is half the weight of the motor used in the previous model.
It spins at 2000 times a second and offers three times more power to weight ratio than the first-generation motor used with the V2. It can generate 525W of power and yet only weighs 125g.

Dyson Pure Cool – Desktop ($649), Floor ($799)
Dyson has just launched a new range of purifying fans which can not only keep you cool but also rid of your home of potentially harmful pollutants and allergens at the same time.
The Dyson Pure Cool fans combine several of the company’s key technologies in airflow and filtration to tackle indoor air pollution.
This pollution comes from a number of sources including cleaning products, scented candles, indoor paints and cooking fumes.
And the design of our modern homes, which are sealed to comply with energy efficiency requirements, are making matters worse because these pollutants are trapped inside.

NutriBullet Balance – $279
NutriBullet, which introduced nutrition extraction to the world 15 years ago and is now changing the game again with its next evolution of blending.
Nutrition extraction is the process of breaking foods down to the point where they are essentially pre-digested, making it much easier for the body to absorb the wealth of nutrition locked inside fruits and vegetables.
Now the new tech-savvy NutriBullet Balance and its free app is eliminating all the guesswork by weighing your ingredients in real time to then breakdown nutritional information and calorie intake.
It’s your very own virtual nutritionist – ensuring consistency of taste, and transparency of nutritional information.
