after read a lot of review I think this would be great for quick cleaning small amount of pet hair , crumb , dirt , et cetera , off hard flooring . this be so much work to use , and make a really unpleasant noise , that I end up buy another vacuum cleaner just a few day after get this . it be basically a really expensive mini-vac\/dust devil type of thing , but not very efficient . the only thing good about it be that it be rechargeable and do not require a bag -lrb- which be why I think I would give it a shot -rrb- . it be currently charge in a closet , where it will probably spend most of its time until I get around to donate it to some thrift store .
