Have previously been cheaper battery vacuum cleaner had - were enough to absorb a few cookie crumbs - that's about it. Not so with this device! I have already received the turbo brush lint from the carpet where my big vacuum cleaner failed. You can tell the device's 18V to - you should not hold your finger in the activated turbo nozzle (CRACKING could make). The evacuation is due to the large flap easy (jumps to button on). My microfiber couch I have with the brush already freshened (as groomed).
