Class hand sucker! Battery lasts for a very long time purposes, the suction power is amazing, it really takes too damp and the cleaning is very easy. Some reviewers say yes, that part is too loud. So, I have no comparison because we long had no hand vacuum cleaner - but I find it normal loud. After all, there is a sucker. And I prefer it a bit louder and sucks it vigorously as a silent vacuum cleaner receives nothing. Sun to seek the phrases Pig: Where gehobel since fall shavings. Ha!
