With 2 cats you have ever somewhere laying around scattered. And I do not want every time to bring out the big vacuum cleaner. I prefer a star off because I find that 10 hours charging time in proportion to stand 10min sucking. But if you just going to want to fast wicking something and wants to start no longer "shine Party", you have to (even happy times after 2 weeks with me) again charge the battery only after days. It sucks not having the Handstaubsauger 10min at a time! The noise level is fine and my cats do not escape the first time - what they always do in the big vacuum cleaner! The cleansing of the device is simple and fast. The various essays, I find also very good and above all practical. Take time to free or behind the couch / wardrobe / bed remove the dust from the couch to cat hair. Can I now recommend it!
