We have this hand vacuum cleaner in the kitchen to quickly absorb crumbs on the floor, but it works well, is easy to empty, we do but rather outside at the gray ton because it can but a little dust. With long hair in the carpet, the device has his difficulties in us, that goes well with just the right vacuum cleaner. The filter and the interior is quite small (is holding a hand-held device) and therefore must often be emptied. For the kitchen but we are satisfied and we hope that soon the kids themselves want wicking their crumbs ... At the moment they do not have anything in front of the noise sleeves and leave the kitchen (if you can) as soon as we begin to suck :-)
