With a "normal" vacuum cleaner sees this vaguely like Laocoon with the snake. Not so with this device, which can be cloaks and it has a short hose, really "handy" is not it, but I used to have here a battery-powered hand-held vacuum for the same purpose, but neither the suction applied, nor of its dimensions could advance into nooks and crannies. Therefore, for the fabled 700W suction power of this unit I like to take something bigger dimensions into account.
The device is definitely a vacuum cleaner. I've though of course not overturned for testing a freshly poured flowerpot, but wet potting soil I would not trust him: Cleaning would then mE over the same mess. The dirt does not accumulate in the (incidentally permanent) anthers, but in the front devices capsule that is not easy to clean. Any "found objects" - eg a pistachio in shell - swallows the device, however, problems that I have tested. So yes for vacuuming, rather only probably for no coarser dirt and a conditional yes for minor mishaps.
Although hand-held vacuum, I was. Before purchasing aware that this is not a device that you so just take off the wall bracket There is also wired (the cable is long enough for my purposes), but with battery, the suction would probably not be achieved, at least not at this price. What for? I'm not a construction worker without electricity need a hammer drill (from a performance point of almost comparable, my hammer drill has 1.000W), but I will primarily suck dust in hard to reach places.
The device is very suitable for this, and I am therefore extremely satisfied and would buy it again. One star deduction's for the noise: I have measured with my smartphone 94dB, in about 1m distance. A jackhammer creates loud 80dB Internet research [...]
