Cherios are sucked easily!!!
I was skeptical about buying a handheld vaccum, but I needed something small to do those trickie works around the house, where you don't want to carry your big vaccum! after long research the dirty devil seemed my best choice, pricewise and durability and good reviews (5 years ago). I don't regreat this purchase; of course I do find out anoying that the power lasts 15 minutes working continuosly, and then you have to recharge again to re-use (mine is always charging in the garage!), but as far as I know, other handhelds (I tried) are pretty much similar on power! so, for the good stuff...it's light (you can carry anywhere), durable has a dandy flip (no attachements around the house), and it sucks everything that I need! My daughter eat her cherios on her pack and play, it's a party sometimes; my dirty devil does the job, sucking all cherios and cleaning the area! it works wonder around our house. I've never changed the filter because I always wash it, and never had a problem with it's sucction. So, as long as you keep in mind that the job to be done will be 15 minutes or less...you're *n good hands!!!*
