Dyson levels up in the U.S. with two new '2 Tier Radial' vacuums

The Dyson DC47 Animal canister vacuum weighs just 13.84 pounds.

The inside of a vacuum cleaner is no place to be. Luckily, most of us will never have to endure such a place. The detritus we create in daily living, however, is another story. Not only do we want dust, dirt, and pet hair to be subjected to the internal whirlwind of a vacuum cleaner, we want it to stay there. At least until it's time to empty the bin.

Emptying the bin may be the last step in the journey for particulate matter, but other side of the story is just beginning. The bagless technology that Dyson uses in its vacuum cleaners not only allows for simple disposal, but it also creates better suction by providing a constant, unimpeded airflow. Instead of being greeted with diminishing returns, users are given the opportunity to clean with no loss of suction power. And now, two new models offer refinements improving that efficiency.

As James Dyson puts it on the site, "2 Tier Radial cyclones are the latest development of our patented cyclone technology. By making the cyclones smaller, the air travels faster meaning we can extract more microscopic dust from the air."

The new Dyson DC47 Animal and DC50 Animal vacuums both feature the new "2 Tier Radial" cyclones. Additionally, the two new vacuum cleaners are both built around Dyson's ball technology, which allows for increased mobility while housing crucial components, including the motor.

Both units feature the new carbon fiber brush bar (previously only available on their handheld vacuums) that combines nylon bristles and antistatic carbon fiber filaments for efficient vacuuming of carpets and hardwood floors.

Both vacuums feature trigger-bin emptying systems, so when the time comes and the cleaning is done, cleaning up after the cleaning is as easy as pushing a button.

The DC47 Animal and the DC50 Animal are available in the United States starting today for $449 and $499, respectively.

Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker brings all the pizzerias home

The Breville BPZ600XL Crispy Crust Pizza Maker stays hot, waiting for a new quest.

(Credit: Williams-Sonoma)

The search for pizza never ends. But unlike other quests, hunting for the perfect slice is not fraught with peril and possible despair; instead the path is lined with deliciousness. Occasionally, a truly unremarkable specimen may foil us, but the possibility for the restoration of hope is always only but a bite away. With so many trials and tribulations along the way, a clear picture of common pitfalls starts to emerge. No, it's not what is in clear view on top of the pizza, but rather, what lurks underneath. Pizza is all about the crust.

If the crust fails us, the whole structure can degrade into nothingness; or worse: sogginess. Everybody has his own criteria for finding the perfect pizza, but practically nobody likes a soggy crust. For the home, this has always been a challenge. Pizza hacks have been developed by enterprising perfect pizza searchers that have been meant to get maximum temperature out of the home oven. But now, the Breville BPZ600XL Crispy Crust Pizza Maker ($149.95) promises to bring crust satisfaction to the countertop.

With dual heating elements and a built-in baking stone, the 1,200-watt covered appliance captures the high heat that is so important for pizza baking. Designed to reach temperatures up to 660 Fahrenheit, the pizza oven can produce a delicious homemade pizza in about 10 minutes. Complete with settings for thin, medium, and thick crusts, the pizza maker is meant to satisfy fans of any pizza variety and perhaps even challenge those assumptions along the way. Luckily, just like having another slice, there is always room for another quest.

Beer drone? Festival goers may see booze fall from the sky

The OppiKoppi beer drone is tested ahead of its debut at a music festival in South Africa.

(Credit: YouTube/OppikoppiTV)

Keep an eye on the sky the next time you're at a concert -- a cold beer might be coming your way. It's been announced that attendees of South Africa's OppiKoppi music festival will be able to order beer that comes delivered on an octocopter drone.

Called the OppiKoppi beer drone, the device is an 8-propeller helicopter that can be loaded with beer and flown over the festival, arriving at the GPS location of any person who orders a cold brew from a mobile app. Once the drone arrives at its location, it drops its cargo and a single beer attached to a parachute will make its way down to a designated campsite called District 9.

With beer intentionally flying in the air, there's some concern about a cold brew randomly hitting festival goers in the head. Darkwing Aerials, the South African company that's providing the beer drone for the festival, says it is taking safety precautions.

"There's going to be one campsite designated to the beer drop," Darkwing Aerials co-founder Dean Engela told CBSNews.com. "The campsite will be notified that there will be drones in the air."

The octocopter will only fly outside of the festival area while it makes its way to District 9 to deliver drinks. The drones are currently hand-guided, but the developers say they will eventually fly on a GPS grid. People inside the campsite will be told in advance that a drone will be flying above them during the show.

This is the first known case of a drone delivering beer to a festival audience, so there are plenty of kinks to be worked out. One concern is that the wrong person will get delivered a beer without paying for it. Engela says the beer will be provided for promotional purposes and will not cost any money, solving that problem for now.

The developers currently have one drone ready for the festival, but are working on perhaps providing two or three for the event. The beer drone currently carries one beer at a time, but Engela says they are working on prototypes that will carry two or three.

The OppiKoppi music festival takes place from Auguest 8 to August 10 at a farm in Northam, South Africa.

Watch a demonstration of the OppiKoppi beer drone in the video below.

Lego hand mixer: You bet it blends

Marcin Danielak's kitchen-ready mixer is powered by a Lego train set battery box.

(Credit: Hippotam)

Sooner or later, every object in existence, including you and me, will be re-created out of Legos.

Fans of the bricks have limitless passion. But beyond creating cool dioramas, Lego modelers truly impress when they make functional tools.

Case in point: the Hippmikser 2000 by Flickr user Hippotam, whose real name is Marcin Danielak.

It looks like a hand mixer and works like one. Just insert the Lego beaters, press the button, and churn away. Check out the vid below.

The mixer is made from regular Lego pieces from sets, and has two Lego Technic Medium motors as well as a gear system. The power comes from a Lego train set battery box.

"I built the mixer for our local club contest as one of the biweekly challenges," Danielak, who lives in Krakow, Poland, told CNET. "This challenge was to build a simple mechanism, and I wanted to top other contestants by creating not only a Lego version of some object, but actually make it work like the real one.

"Because of the relatively low torque of the motors used, you can mix eggs or ingredients for pancakes but nothing more dense. It is possible to use more powerful motors though. Maybe a CNET reader will try that."

"It took only few evenings to design and build," Danielak added. "I usually build castles or houses not machinery, so most of the time I spend on figuring out how to pack the motors and gears into a relatively small space."

Anyone have a Lego food processor yet?

Vertical modular kitchen goes up, up, and microwave

It's a bit like kitchen Legos.

(Credit: Clei)

Kitchen showrooms are full of massive, shiny appliances meant to be strewn liberally about in a large kitchen. Most of the world, though, doesn't have that kind of space to spare for ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, kitchen islands, stovetops, and the like. The Clei Ecooking kitchen minds its manners and limits itself to a very compact space.

The Ecooking station is sleek, modern, and modular. It was created by Italian designer Massimo Facchinetti for Clei, a company specializing in transformable furniture. The company's creations are intended to make the most of small spaces like apartments and lofts.

Instead of spreading his kitchen design out, Facchinetti went up. The modular appliances stack like a bunch of really big Legos. The whole thing can be contained in a shiny rectangular tower, or you can pull out the parts you need when you want them. Need to chop some veggies? Slide out the cutting board. Want to wash that garlic off your fingers? Rotate the sink into place.

The Ecooking kitchen has pretty much everything you need, including a refrigerator, vertical garden, cooktop, and dishwasher.. It even has a solar panel to help power the electrical appliances. An internal water recycling system reuses water from the sink, filters it, and puts it into the dishwasher.

So far, there's no word on when Clei plans to make this unusual design available, but it sounds like the company is interested in putting it into production. It could end up being a nifty solution for people living in cramped quarters. You might just want to put it near a window to make the most of the solar capabilities.

Sprizzi Drink Machine bubbles forward

Early backers can score a chrome version of the The Sprizzi Drink Machine.

(Credit: Sprizzi Drink-Co. Inc.)

For many, the first kitchen appliance of the day is the coffeemaker. But that's not the only drink-dispensing machine in town these days. Sure, there are tea makers that are dedicated standalone devices as well as those that are integrated into standard coffee makers, but there is another beverage trying to muscle in on the kitchen countertop scene. Time to make room for soda (or, depending where you live, pop, tonic, or soft drinks, etc.).

The Sprizzi Drink Machine aims to define a new generation of everyday beverage dispensers. Currently a Kickstarter project, the device ups the ante by bringing soda into the realm of easy, instant accessibility. Featuring simple automatic operation via one press of a button, the countertop appliance does everything necessary for a nice chilled soda except drink it.

Looking to become a go-to appliance in an increasingly popular field, the Sprizzi differentiates itself by integrating important features. Not only does the device chill water (a live water line can be added or up to two liters can be poured in at a time), but it also automatically mixes in syrup and carbonates the water. Just place a glass under the spout and press the button.

Not limited to just chilled carbonated beverages, the Sprizzi can also dispense noncarbonated water (that would be the other button; on the left). With over 60 "flavor bullets" on tap, the device is primed to be found on kitchen countertops everywhere -- and put to use any time of day.

Easy access toaster oven opens the door to new possibilities

Cheese is just the beginning with the Hamilton Beach 31334 Easy-Reach 4-Slice Toaster Oven.

(Credit: Hamilton Beach)

You know the toaster oven: it gives forth deliciousness every day. The familiarity afforded by the device invites versatility; as food cooks inside, a glance or two may lead to inspiration. The blank canvas that is a slice of toast or a bagel practically begs for additional ingredients to be piled on. Sooner or later, it's going to happen; all that is needed is to get to the food.

The Hamilton Beach 31334 Easy-Reach 4-Slice Toaster Oven ($49.99) makes it easy to access whatever happens to be on the menu. With bake, broil, and toast settings, the countertop appliance serves up a trio of features that allow for infinite possibilities. Complete with a bake pan and a broil rack that is adjustable to two settings, the toaster oven supplies the versatility to get the job done. But it's the roll-top door that opens up the possibilities here.

Featuring a distinctive mechanism that provides easy access to the food inside, the toaster oven is made for those who like to play with their food. For those who prefer a less interactive experience, an integrated 30-minute timer offers an easy way to passively keep track of the cooking. And don't worry: even though the appliance can bake and broil so many different combinations, it's still OK to just make toast.
