I have one (Blak and Decker). Bought it for sweeping up under the tables after DCs eating - but 2 problems, it was very loud and freaked the Dcs out, secondly if you picked up any "wet" food, it went mouldy in the collection area, unless you emptied it after every use, and tht was fiddly, also soft food sticks to the inside. Use it occasionally round skirting boards etc but been a bit of a waste really.

Buy the handheld Dyson, all others are a bit rubbish IMO.

I love mine, use it every day for quick crumb clearing, hoovering off the sofa, dusting the skirting boards (it has a little brush head for this) and doing other dusting. Also getting cobwebs down and dusting my venitian blinds.

I think they are fairly rubbish.

They are probably fine for anyone who can't stand a single crumb. But we don't ever have single crumbs - we always have a huge deluge - so a full-size vacuum is what we need.
