I tried this cab because it was the closest representation in terms of overall size to what I had since I first bought the house. Literally the only reason I did not keep it was because I also tried the other models that had voice control and was sold. This can works great, but the voice control cans are so much better, especially since you can plug those models in to power them without having to change batteries. This model is battery operated, but it does fit better in tighter spaces, so it will work especially for the situations where a power outlet is not available.
