buy this product primarily for clean the car and small accident and job around the house . the cordless feature be a definite plus when do the car and quick job like vacuum a hard to reach corner , edge or books\/bookcases . it do a nice job of a dust off a bookcase that have not be clean in several month , but I find that empty the dust from the bin be not quite a open and shake operation . a bunch of the dust clump in the back of the collector bin filter do not empty out until I remove the filter and use a small brush to help it empty out . the vacuum be extremely portable and -lrb- for I -rrb- have a rather loud whinning motor noise . but I guess this be to be expect with a small vacuum with expose exhaust . Trumps the dustbuster I previously own with more suction and a hose feature .
