I regret to inform you that AI has come for the stick vac.

Perhaps the Fraction by Deglace truly is “the ultimate vacuum cleaner.” I’ve spent far too much time repairing and replacing plastic Dyson components; swappable modular batteries sound great! But it’s also got “Neural Predictive AI” that sounds a lot like trying to sell you proprietary replacement parts before they’re needed.

Everything about this image has me in stitches.
