I thought it was a little better for the price. My main complaint is that the suction head inlet is only about 1" wide, so what do I actually use it for? Small spills rarely occur, let alone major riots. I'm on all fours and moving back and forth like I'm mowing a thin, miniature lawn, but it doesn't work. I need something bigger, this thing is very small. See how small it is in the description and see if it works. It's too small for my needs in a small recording studio control room. I'm used to the larger Dyson portable, which in your hands felt like a real cordless vacuum, which is like a tiny miniature version of it. Still, it's fairly easy to clean (since it only contains a few tablespoons of junk). ) and has decent battery life (about an hour of continuous use).
