So far I am very happy with this machine. I have less than a month. A low suction power is enough to pick up pet hair, dust and other light dirt. The battery lasts quite a long time when fully charged. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't lose battery life after a year like it seems to with B&D Dustbusters. My only concern is that the nozzle is on the small side and can easily clog when picking up a lot of stuff. It worked well in the hard-to-reach areas of my car.
