This hand vacuum is just what I needed.  I do not have any pets to clean up after but I do get those pesky little pieces of stuff that collect in the corners of my rooms.  This was the first chore I tackled.  It worked so well that I cleaned the debris around my houseplants.  This appliance is just one of  those very useful items that make clean up so very much easier.  The vacuum is well built, powerful, and easy to clean.  The only drawback for me is where to keep it plugged in.  It stands straight up when charging.  I do love this product even with this inconvenience.
