If you have children (or a husband) you MUST have a Dirt Devil Quick Power Vacuum.  I use it numerous times a day to clean up spilled snacks and other messes.  If I only used it around the high chair I would get my money's worth.  Without a doubt, this is the most used cleaning item at our house! I am a neat freak wannabee and this gets me one step closer.  My nephew even likes to help me clean when he can use it!  It works on hard surfaces and carpet equally well.  It's small, so it fits in tight places.  Overall, I would say everyone needs this product in their home!
