I bought this and took a while to actually use it, as I didn't need it at the time. When I finally did, around February 2014, it did not work as well as I had expected, the battery did not hold a charge for very long and it did not pick up crumbs very well. I used it infrequently, and this month, just after the 1 year warranty expired it just died. I should have sent it back but the whole shipping thing seemed like such as hassle. I will go back to dustbuser or sharks!
