This would be a great product if it worked longer than a few months. When I first got it, I was thrilled - it picked up crumbs, cat hair and cat litter with ease. After about a month, I noticed that the battery would only hold its charge for about five minutes; that continued to decrease until now, about four months after I purchased it, the suction is completely dead and the vacuum barely even runs. I see I'm not alone in this experience; the battery seems to die after a few months' time. Hope the company takes note and improves this disappointing product.
