On Friday we filmed a load of videos for the Sebo X1 vacuum, and I’ve got to say, as nerdy as it sounds, I fell in love with it. It’s a brilliantly simple, solidly put together piece of kit.

You’ve got to hand it to Electrolux. They launched their ‘Vac from the Sea‘ campaign last year, aiming to highlight ‘the immediate need for the world to take better care of plastics and support the heroes that do’. A noble cause, I’m sure you’ll agree. To highlight the problem, they’ve harvested plastic debris from ocean sites around the world where ‘the plastic problem is immense’, and created unique, fully working vacuums based on the Electrolux Ultra One Green model.
