I bought this mini vacuum cleaner mainly for my bathroom so I can easily vacuum the dozens of hairs that fall from my head to the floor every day. It looks attractive, so I keep it in an easy-to-access spot on the counter. We hide our other ugly vacuums in the closet and it's too much of a hassle to pick them up quickly. The suction power is strong and I haven't run out of electric charge yet. For me it is worth the high price as I use it every day.
