Does what I need …

Here’s my situation. I have a cat box in my bathroom and I really didn’t like sweeping the kitty litter up every day - the broom would kick up dust and I would invariably miss a bit of kitty litter.

I needed something small, light that I could drag out and buzz around the bathroom (hard surface) with. This fits the bill perfectly. It’s not exactly quiet, but not too bad either.

I don’t like the rechargeable stick vacs because my closet doesn’t have a power outlet and I really don’t want to leave it out and look at the thing. In addition, corded stick vacs tend to be more powerful and don’t run down, but you do have to put up with a cord.

This stick vac is basically a dustbuster with a telescopic handle and a detachable (bare) floor nozzle. It is not going to compete with a regular vacuum, but for light cleanup (e.g. kitty litter) it works just fine. I also use it on the low-pile carpeting just outside the bathroom door to pick up any stray kitty litter and it gets most of it. I don’t think you’d want to use it on thicker pile carpeting or for large areas especially considering the floor nozzle has no brush roller - it really is designed for hard floors.

It does what I need — no more kicking up dust and no more kitty litter in the bathroom (I use it every day). I am happy with my purchase.
