Bought this because we have a mostly tile floor in Bermuda with only a few throw rugs and carpet and in our bedroom so didn't need anything too sturdy. This worked for us, until the charge was declining and now three lights flash when I plug it in for a moment and then its dead. Things on an island are more expensive and difficult to source, this leaves me in a difficult position to have to buy a new one after only owning this one for just over a year. Reading the reviews now I probably wouldn't have bought it initially.
