Hammacher Schlemmer Introduces The Best Bug Vacuum

New York, NY, December 16, 2014 - Continuing its 166-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer introduces The Best Bug Vacuum. This handheld cordless vacuum earned The Best rating from The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it captured the most bugs in the shortest time and was easiest to handle.

In side-by-side tests, The Best Bug Vacuum's powerful 15-watt motor enabled it to capture 24 live crickets in only 15 seconds-nearly five times more than lesser models. Its telescoping tinted nozzle lets the bug-phobic see that flies, bees, and spiders have been vacuumed up while keeping a comfortable arm's length.

"The Best Bug Vacuum is unsurpassed at disposing of creepy crawlies and it's far more convenient than swatting them with a rolled up newspaper," explained Hammacher Schlemmer's General Manager Fred Berns.

An electric grid in the unit's handle kills insects on contact, unlike lesser models that merely stun them temporarily, and easily disposed by removing the extension tube. The vacuum's suction cup tip compresses to reach into tight corners, a favorite hangout for unwanted pests. The Best Bug Vacuum runs for 10 minutes on a full charge and recharges automatically when set into its AC-powered dock.

The Best Bug Vacuum is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $64.95. For more information about this product, please visit https://www.hammacher.com/86575, or contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail at pr@hammacher.com.
