Tin kicker, as I already have Mikita tools on board the battery powered vacuum was an easy desc8sion. I especially like the compact size, making storage easier. Besides sucking up dirt, sand and debris from projects, we also use it at dusk when those spiders begin to drop out of every nook and cranny. We just suck them up and empty them out in the morning. Emptying the debris is also a straight forward task. As Tricked hat states that his wife actually asked for and got one for the house. My wife Linda also was of the same opinion after using the one on the boat for a week.easy enough, we bought one for the house also. Now wouldn’t be without it. Also comes with some different wands for cleaning in tight spaces, and for cleaning the upholstery .
