[servisslimline]

was just having a read through this, a million dollars for a vacuum, looks to me like a Kirby made machine but made of gold

It's just a regular Royal, that they have had gold plated. Considering that a regular Royal sells for the 700 dollar range, 1 million seems a bit insane, gold plated or not. Gold plating is not that expensive. Solid gold yes, gold plating no. If they actually do manage to sell any of these beasts they stand to make a rather insane amount of profit.
