I bought this vacuum cleaner to use around the house Use to clean up cat litter, cat food and other debris I have had Shark vacuums before and their suction is always excellent but the suction power of this little vacuum is not what I expect from a Shark product It doesn't have enough suction power to suck individual small bits of cat food into the container, rather the cat food stays inside the stick and falls back to the floor once the vacuum is turned off.I have completely disassembled it to make sure there are no clogs or other issues , which could lead to low suction power. Unfortunately, that is exactly what this vacuum cleaner is. Unfortunately, it has been so long since I bought it that I can no longer return it en can. I may have to sell it elsewhere and buy another vacuum to do the job.
