Extremely Disappointed! I bought one these several years back and it worked fine for about 5-6 years and then just died but it worked well up until that time. I decided to buy another one because the old one had good enough suction for small jobs and that was all I needed it for. It had a decent battery life and with the extra battery it would work for at least 20 minutes. The new one, though, does not seem to have the same amount of suction and definitely doesn't have hardly any battery life! I took it off the charger and the first battery didn't work at all and the second battery lasted only a couple of minutes. I still have the old charger and the battery that was on that one did a much better job, but there still wasn't the same amount of suction. I would try to return it but it is impossible to take the handle apart once you put it together and then try to get it back in the box. I would definitely not recommend anyone buy this!
