I had  been looking for a small, cordless hand vac and this one is it!!  I use it so much. In our home office dumping the shredders always leaves a bit of a mess.  Just suck it all up with this guy in seconds. Dump it out and ready for the next task. A few crumbs on the kitchen floor near the prep area, suck them right up. There is always some dust on the cold air registers, remove them and bam dust is gone.  I love this thing.
