Since I only have a small apartment, but I drink by my 2 dogs daily on me but it too cumbersome back and forth every vacate the unit I was looking for alternatives ..... And !? find anything .... no larger than a normal broom is the E-broom finished with all dust and dirt ..... A handy charging makes emptying easy, more than once a month, he does not have to be recharged. Although the noise is a bit loud and getting used to not only for my dogs, but not loud like a sucker .... totally satisfied I am with this part, reminds me of earlier in my grandma had are already such a part around, however, without electricity or the battery .....
