Have you ever heard about luggage bag as a mini scooter?
Dragging your luggage around with you is a mundane and painful task, especially on
the way back from an action-packed, or relaxing holiday. Well now you have stopped
pulling around your luggage and wheeling it back home, thanks to this new invention.
The Samsonite luggage bag has also been invented as a mini scooter, allowing you to
scoot around with your luggage safely tucked away.
Just think about when everyone else is carrying around their luggage, whilst you just
jump on your scooter and fly by them, shortening your trip back home, and also making it
a little more fun! It's a simple idea, but an extremely effective product, which we think
will prove immensely popular, so look out in airports near you for scooters flying past
you from all directions.
The scooter also folds up, allowing you to use it as a normal luggage carrier, but why
minimise the fun?! The bag itself is rather small, so you may very well be able to use this
for your on-board luggage bag.

Steam Dishwasher
Every one of you might be running different cycles for your delicate glass dishes to
avoid chipping and for those crusty pots and pans which require a powerful cleaning.
Also you would be running a full wash cycle for your stored and less used dusty dishes.
This new LG dishwasher is the only one in its type that allows you to select different water
sprays settings for top and the bottom racks. Their short steam-powered freshening cycle
allows you to have a quick and gentle cleansing of dust from your china dish wares.
