This small vacuum cleaner was useful sometimes. We got this after Hurricane Ike, so that we could vacuum our temporary apartment, so we would get our deposit back.  I used it a little after we got home.  It was handy and lightweight, and picked up dirt in proportion to its ease of use.  Recently, the little dirt cup snap holder broke off, so I could not use it.  I identified the model online, and it seems that it is no longer available.  Also, I could not replace the dirt cup, so with it being worth $39 new, we are going to take it for recycling, if they will take it.

Though it is too bad that we need to discard the complete vacuum because its vacuum cup cannot be attached,  it will make less cleaning equipment to store at home.  This sure is built-in-obsolescence, which is bad for our environment.  And our other cleaning equipment will suffice.
