Advantages: Compact and doesn't get in the way

Disadvantages: Not really powerful enough and doesn't last very long

I bought this product about a year ago for those times when you need to clean a small area, such as in the car or on laminate flooring without having to go and get out the big vacuum cleaner. The product has a stylish modern design and comes with it's own charging station which can be plugged in at the mains and has a LED charging indicator. It is a compact product that can be stored to one side and doesn't really get in the way. I bought it for £29.99. It is lightweight, has a 0.5 litre transparent dustbin and has wheels so that you can roll it across the surface .

After using this product I probably wouldn't recommend it. The machine isn't really powerful enough to pick things up from carpets and you can spend ages going over the same area repeatedly to try and pick things up - so not much use for the car. It works a little better on laminate flooring to pick up dust or crumbs that may have fallen but doesn't really last long enough to do a large area at once. The machine also has to be on the charger continously when not in use.

Summary: Good for laminates not so good for carpets
