Technology company Dyson is famous for innovating with common household electrical products. It describes the PencilVac, launched last year, as "the world's slimmest vacuum cleaner".

The Mill bin was conceived as the ultimate household food-waste solution. It slowly heats and mixes leftovers to dehydrate and shrink them down, without producing a noticeable smell.
Once the bin is full after a few weeks, the contents can be used as a compost-enricher in the garden, a chicken-feed ingredient or posted back to Mill for use on small farms.
From British homeware brand Joseph Joseph, the UltraClean is intended to make cleaning floors much more efficient.
While standard mop buckets involve reusing dirty water to clean, the UltraClean has a spray mechanism that washes the mop pad each time it's returned to the bucket.
