apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

AVING USA shares some tasty looking photos of The Dirt Devil KURV, an urn/vase shaped cordless hand vacuum, introduced at IHS 2007. The sensual Moroccan-influenced design seems aimed at the sensibilities of the feminine buyer who passed on the more minimal form of Rashid's previous KONE hand vac introduced last year. The KURV's appeal is further strengthened with an expanded range of seven colours to choose from. Hopefully Dirt Devil and Rashid have addressed many of the shortcomings of the previous KONE vacuum, so it will operate as well as it looks this time around.
