My central vac (Duovac). I occasionally do home renos and pick up a lot of drywall dust and this sucks it up without any problems. My old upright vac just died as soon as it tasted drywall dust. Also used it to suck out leaves from the eavestrough. Good stuff. Also the little dust buster I picked up from Liquidation World about 10 years ago still going strong. Hate the baby blue colour though. Have to keep it hidden.

To contrast though... the IKEA-version of the "Slapchop" is useless (probably the original is useless too) and the MEC coffee burr-grinder. The price was right, but the utter ergonomics made it unusable.
