[HELP] Arduino Wifi Controller [URGENT]

[NSH]

Hi everyone, I am facing problems with the use of Arduino.
I have just a little knowledge about Arduino.
I am now handling a project which could control the device through the internet.
And now my problems are :
1) how does Arduino connect with my device (Vacuum Cleaner) in order to let it control through the internet? Example codes?
2) can Arduino contact with XBee (wireless control) ? both using the same language?
3) which Arduino should I choose for this project? Arduino Ethernet Shield or Arduino Wifi Shield?

Thousands of thanks for those who willing to help me to solve it.
I need some guidance now

I think it is more suitable for you if you go for Arduino Wifi Shield. I am sure you dont want your vacuum with additional ethernet cable.

Thanks for your reply.
But it is hardly to find the Arduino Wifi Shield around KL, Jalan Pasar.
May I know where can I get it instead of purchasing it online?
And is there any sample codes for me to test on the Arduino Wifi Shield?
Thank you

Arduino wifi is currently very very expensive about RM200 starting price. That why I think not many people are selling it yet. You can google. There are some codes laying on the net. Not sure where you can buy it though.

Hi zhenning,
Thanks for your reply.
Thank you very much for giving the information.
I should buy it through Arduino Official Webpage

hi NSH,

I also intend to start a wifi project on arduino, i have google around for sometime and my friend informed me about
this new product (Electric IMP). Please visit this link https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/397
It is a tutorial on how to implement two nodes across two continents using internet and cloud server. Interesting and awesome product.
