The vacuum cleaner itself was great but one of the reasons I bought it was the docking station. I wanted to be able to just pick it up, use it quickly, and then plug it back in. But unfortunately the charger didn't work. It was fine when I plugged the cord into a real vacuum at the top, but the charging dock didn't offer enough connection to actually charge. I have contacted Revain and the seller. Although I received no reply from the seller, Revain immediately sent a new one. I was so excited because the dock for the new block worked great for a week. After the first week, the dock stopped charging. Both the original and the replacement were returned to Revain. I'm very disappointed as it was the perfect size for a quick clean and I was about to buy another one for our camper van but the dock was such an important part of our purchase decision that it just wouldn't suit us. .
