Doesn't look reliable :0 but feels more comfortable to me than an old vacuum cleaner that felt like dragging a mammoth by its trunk Its pros: Lightweight, inexpensive, copes with cat hair, with a brush attachment you can vacuum furniture For a small kopeck piece, both the container and the length of the cord are enough Cons: Carpet vacuums with difficulty, no replacement filters available Only on/off button, no suction power adjustment
