I guess I’m middle aged now because this little gadget is the best and I’m so excited. It works like a DREAM. I have 3 kids (4,6,8) and they always leave crumbs and debris in their wake. This vacuums and mops and it does it perfectly. Finally my floors are clean every day. It’s not loud and the battery seems to last quite a while. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family without hesitation!
