This is the second one I have purchased recently because they work so well. It's the best hand vac I've ever owned: fairly quiet, picks up nearly everything with the motorized brush, and easy to plug in and charge. I've seen some reviewers complain about the plug, but I really like not having to remove the battery to put it into a battery charge. One charge lasts quite a while for me. It's perfect for the mess my cat makes on the stairs tracking up his litter.  I highly recommend this item.
