This thing is cute as hell AND it really works! It has amazing suction power for such a small vacuum. There's a small filter to keep all the dirt and debris in the head, and you use it to pick up anything small that you might want to reuse (confetti, glitter, sequins). When you need to empty it, just remove the head, pull out the filter and you're done! That it's easy to empty. Sounds painful I know. Absolutely worth buying!
