It is a nice addition especially with a toddler who constantly drop things and spills. But it does not pick up like chip size objects, they would have to be crumbled. So you if you are looking for something that knocks out your cleaning completely this is not for you. But looking for something to help yes she will work. The charge lasts quite a while, it can mop and vacuum our downstairs and still have 40%. My only con is it is louder than I expected. Not sure why I expected something quieter bc it is a vacuum.
