Silent but deadly

Samsung has shown off its newly announced Samsung Silencio SC9540 vacuum cleaner to UK press.

The device, which resembles the Master Chief from Halo's head, promises a host of features including a stealthy ninja-like performance when it comes to sound.

Considerably quieter than a Dyson, and designed so whoever is doing the cleaning doesn't disturb everyone watching the television, the new vacuum cleaner also offers a HEPA filter so air pumped back into the room is clean and incorporates silver nano technology to boot.

Costing £169 when it heads to the shops shortly, the boast is that the suck is so powerful that you'll be able to stick it to the wall.
