Based on our own experience, this handheld vacuum did not meet our expectations. While it is cordless and rechargeable, it lacks the suction power needed to efficiently clean any home and kitchen mess. It also tends to quickly lose battery charge after only a few minutes of use, making it very unreliable for cleaning larger areas. The only pro is its cordless feature, but it's not enough to justify its steep price. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for a better vacuum.
