Keeping your home spotless isn’t always an easy task, but here to make things just a little simpler for you is Eureka. The floor care brand has now launched a new generation of vacuum cleaners that promise to deliver the “deepest cleaning with the most value” for its customers, and they’re making their debut at the 2018 International Home + Housewares Show (IHHS) in Chicago.

The new lineup includes the Eureka PowerPlush Lightweight Cordless and a two-model series; the Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight, and the Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight with Swivel Plus. But regardless of which vacuum you choose, you should have a machine that is powerful, easy to maneuver, and loaded with features and accessories to make tidying up a cakewalk.

The Eureka PowerPlush Lightweight Cordless vacuum may be smaller than its siblings, but it still promises full-sized cleaning power as well as a soft brushroll that is optimized for hard floors. That said, the vacuum is also capable of cleaning a wide variety of surfaces, so you can take it from your carpet to your wood floors seamlessly.

The Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight, on the other hand, promises to be a premium vacuum with a series of premium features. For example, there’s the new LED Headlight, which illuminates tough-to-see spots, as well as a pet Turbo Brush. There’s also the Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight with Swivel Plus, which boasts everything the Spotlight does, including a swivel steering nozzle that is meant to take you under and around furniture with ease.

“Almost everyone can recall having had a Eureka vacuum in their home, yet after more than 100 years of innovation, we are just getting started,” said Ting Ting Cheng, vice president at Midea America. “We are innovating in technology and design like never before to bring consumers products that are powerful, multi-purpose, and affordable to fit every lifestyle.”

Both of the Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight vacuums are available now on Amazon, while the Eureka PowerPlush Lightweight Cordless will appear on digital shelves in April. Come May, you’ll also be able to check out these vacuums at Walmart stores as well as via Walmart.com.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.
