Even though I could see that this was very cheaply made when I first bought it, I loved the idea of it being so light. It did pick up well, however, even though it hasn't been used a lot, it has now stopped working after a very short time. After being charged, it lasts for about two minutes, so I can no longer use it. Basically, I think this machine is a rip-off. All the people who love it must work for the company!
