I received this for free in exchange for an honest review. I was excited to receive this as I have 3 kids, 2 dogs and live in an area with snow. Setup was easy, put the handle on the "vacuum", plug in the base and set it on top. I use this primarily to clean up after the kids and dogs. It's incredibly convenient to pick up quick messes, especially when snow and mud is tracked in. It will even work on my wife's area rug. It's incredibly easy to use, in fact my kids like when it's their time to use it. The only downfall is it doesn't really work for sticky messes and caked on mud. It would work if there was more weight on the brush. Realistically it's only a minor shortcoming, I prefer to mop anyways. Overall if you just want to use this for quick clean up it works great. Definitely not useful for bigger messes.
