I bought this in part because I needed a house in. After a little Googling me the Fakir has fallen into the eye (good reviews). Behold - it sucks really much stronger and much longer than the other Graffel what moves in the market. And the NiMH battery is also I think unique in the hand vacuum cleaners. Because after Sucking I WILL give the power back into the holder, because it just belongs there. The constant charging makes the NiMH battery from nothing!
