You may think that the world's most expensive vacuum would be a Dyson or some other high-tech cleaning contraption, but that's apparently not the case, at least according to the vacuum authority that is the Guinness Book of World Records. No, the world's most expensive vacuum is apparently this otherwise ordinary Electrolux, which has been adorned with 3,730 Swarovski crystals by Polish designer Lukaz Jemiol and now commands the princely sum of £13,825 (or just under $20,000). That may not help the vacuum's cleaning ability much, but it'll certainly help it hold its own against all the other Swarovski-encrusted products out there, which, last we checked, includes everything imaginable. Better act quick if you're looking to add to the collection though, as this one is strictly one of a kind.
Maybe you guys can do a Swarovski Roundup of all the latest and greatest crystal encrusted gadgets on the market. Or even spin off "Engadget Swarovski".
I need my daily dose of fake diamond sparkly news.

No copy paste???
Remember the Swarovski encrusted toilet?
Thought I was crazy for paying $1500 for a Kirby.
This would be better if the crystals themselves had their own layer of crystals on top...mmmm....crystals....
I wish I was a Polish designer, I could put crystals on anything an call it a work of art.
You can tell it's polish by the density of crystals. It's supposed to be completely covered in crystals. Not this half ass crap! More crystals!
Can't we have an option to exclude from the RSS feed all news involving things stuck all over with diamonds/crystals/shiny stuff/dinosaur turds/any other useless crap? Don't care; don't wanna know.
I hate crap like this. You can basically make anything the "most expensive ______ in the world" by gluing jewels to it. So what?
This mod is the definition of lazy. I would be embarassed to attach my name to this thing claiming to be a "designer"
Pointless.
This is a few months too late, swarovski already 100% lost any charm even to its target audience, due to overkill.
How awesome would those crystals be on a vibrator?
Now, that's just silly - in my opinion -
...Indulgent for no reason because no one is going to display their vacuum out in the open!
