This is a very efficient and lightweight handheld vacuum. I have several rechargeable handheld vacuums as I like to keep one next to each of my litter boxes (which are spread out across different rooms around the house) so I can compare it to the Dustbuster, Shark Duo-Clean and Kenmore Elite. . I'd say it collects dirt as well as any of them. In terms of battery life, none of them are designed for full house cleaning. All of them start to wear off after 10-15 minutes and Einhell is no exception. Only minor improvements. And the dust collectors are just as tiny. For this in exceptional cases. It's important to empty it after each use, no matter how light, to maintain optimal suction and prevent debris from being thrown back. What I like best about this Einhell is the battery concept. This company makes a range of small gadgets and tools that use the same battery, which is absolutely brilliant. It's a bit late for my husband and I who have quite a large collection of lithium batteries and chargers lying around in our basement, but when you're just starting out, buying Einhell tools is a great way to minimize that. In general, I like this vacuum. It's super light and easy to use. It has a long attachment arm that eliminates the need to crouch and bend down. And so far, the suction power is admirable. highlighted.
