Review on EUREKA Cordless Efficiency Headlights Convenient by John Clark

Not bad, but with a few design flaws

I bought this little vacuum cleaner for one reason - to use on my glassed-in porch where I have two litter boxes to clean up all the kitty litter that I have collected. scatter around. I don't store or use it "outside" but on a very screened, very sheltered porch where it can't rain etc. I've only had it a day, but it looks like it'll do that mission fulfill. It easily vacuums cat litter, dust, etc. However, there are a few design flaws. First, other reviews have mentioned. Why didn't they make it where it can stand or make a little charging station for it? My house has vinyl siding and my porch walls are all vinyl. I will never drill holes in my side panel to hang this thing. I leaned it against the wall while trying to figure out what to do with the hanging gear and it fell twice. I finally remembered that I have a box of vinyl wall covering hangers that I bought to hang my Christmas wreath. One of them worked perfectly. (I am attaching a picture). I just tucked it under the trim and hung the vacuum on a small hook and it works great. The hanger falls off every time I put the vacuum away, but I think I can handle it. Now I have to keep up with hanging devices if I ever decide to move them. Which brings me to my next design challenge. Nowhere (as far as I can see) can a slotted device be plugged in while in vacuum mode. So when it freezes, you have a spare, a slotted thing that just hangs around. So it must be kept somewhere, and good luck if you don't forget where it is! It would be very handy if it could be attached somewhere on the vacuum cleaner or charging station (if you have one) when not in use. And maybe that's it, but I couldn't figure it out and the instructions didn't help at all. While I hope this works well for my purposes, I would like some of its shortcomings to be ironed out.
