I have waited a few weeks before leaving a review as I wasn't sure that this tiny wee vacuum cleaner would be up to the job of a house with 5 birds. Yes you read tgat right...birds, and not small ones either...lol. Anyhow, I have to say so far wee Joey is performing spectacularly. He manages feathers as well a general muck and dust with no bother at all. He is extremely easy to clean as all his "parts" come apart including his "head " which has always been a bug bear of mine as you can never clean inside the head effectively but not with Joey. I empty the tank and clean his filter after every use so I can't say what his performance is when full but the suction is equal to many of the more expensive brands. I particularly like the fact that you can buy spare parts for him and also that the battery is in the base rather than the top, so he stands quite unaided and charging is a doddle with the stand in charger. No need to drill holes and hang it off the wall, just stand in the cradle and off he goes. Noise wise, he's not that noisy, I've heard louder. Also fab that he becomes a handheld in a jiffy. All in all what a fantastic vacuum cleaner, I love Joey!😍
