The battery life is in my opinion sufficient. It is located between 10 to 15 minutes and reaches so easy for little work. Mainly he comes with us because of our tots to use. That is child seat in the car suck or release the highchair at home by crisp bread crumbs.
One should not be fooled by the performance after the first charges. Because with each loading process increases the performance and we are now very pleased to 10 charges.
One drawback I 'see the Phillips is the battery itself. This is a NiMh ie one should suck it until empty "before he comes back to the charging station, otherwise you have the unpleasant memory effect.
Conclusion:
A small handy vacuum cleaner is sufficient for small jobs. We are very happy with it.
