> 3 dayI bought this primarily to clean up around the litter box. I needed something small I could tuck in a corner rather than one of the bigger hand vacuums. This of course means it’s not as powerful, simply based on size alone, but it works well for my needs. It has no problem picking up all the pine based litter and sawdust my cats kick out. It charges via mini USB. I keep it plugged in all the time so it’s always ready to go. (I only ever use it for a couple minutes at a time so I am not sure how long the battery lasts.) The base is just a holder, you still have to plug it in to charge. It comes with a small nozzle/brush attachment that also stores on the base. One complaint is that the exhaust on the back can blow around the debris you’re trying to vac. To avoid this I just place my other hand on the back in a direction that redirects the exhaust air upwards and away while vacuuming. The canister is tiny, but big enough for what I use it for. I empty it after each use. It’s easy to twist off, tip out the contents, and twist back on. I’ve tried it on the sofa and it’s only ok. Better at crumbs, not great at pet hair stuck to the couch. If you really need something for upholstery you’re probably better off with a larger, more powerful option. For me this vac works because I wanted something 1) small and sleek looking, 2) that could clean up litter without using the full size vacuum every day, 3) inexpensive. It’s pretty good at those things for the price point, it just depends what your needs are.

> 3 dayGreat little auxillary vacuum for small messes. We charge it up every couple of weeks, then leave it unplugged in a drawer in our living room to clean up small areas on the spot. It seems to hold a charge well, and picks up dirt without a problem. The only downside was the very short charging cord that came with it, but we had several longer cords lying around so just used one we already had.

> 3 dayI have kept this plugged in in the kitchen. We just got a glass cooktop, I’ve never had one and it freaks me out! This is perfect for keeping the dust off of it! I have also used it to clean out the inside of drawers as we are moving into our new house and I need to put new drawer liner in them. It’s a great find!

> 3 dayI have two dogs and both shed constantly. This makes it easy to pickup clumps of fur ball off the floor. I find dust pans inconvenient (need to crouch down) and brooms tend to disperse the fur more. I like that its not heavy and found it easy to recharge. Would buy it again.

Greater than one weekThis item was really great while it worked. After 10 months of use the battery bill no longer charge (still using the original cord and have tried others with no success). Its a bummer because it was a really handy vacuum but now its useless.

> 3 dayIt will pick up small things that accumulate, so your car isnt gradually just getting worse and worse . You can keep it in your car. Dont expect anything more though. VERY small bin thats easy to empty. Battery lasts maybe 10 minutes or so. Its OK for staying on top of small things which is mostly what gets in your floor mats. NOT GREAT SUCTION so dont expect it to lift stuck, recalcitrant litter from between your floor mat grooves.

> 3 dayI got a brand new car and desperately want to keep it clean and crumb free, however I have no will power when it comes to eating in my car. I bought this vacuum and its perfect for regular, weekly maintenance or a QUICK clean. The filter is super easy to clean and reusable plus it comes with an extra. It also has a pretty decent suction power and the brush helps with pesky crumbs in the carpet as long as they arent too stuck in there. Cons: The battery life is too short, even for some of my needs. Smaller products have smaller batteries so it makes sense. If you have a VERY dirty vehicle, the battery will not last long enough to finish cleaning the whole car. Im saying if you have more than a couple weeks worth of dirt and crumbs, youre only going to finish one seat/ foot area of the mess. The suction power is good enough for my personal needs but is probably not goting to beat a larger vacuum for things like ground in dirt on carpet or pet hair thats sort of woven into the carpet fibers.

> 3 dayI was a little nervous that this vacuum was so small it wouldn’t work great. I was wrong. I love this thing!! Works great and the battery life seems to be a long time!

> 3 dayYou get what you pay for and the BISSELL AeroSlim does pretty much what you expect. It has very small dirt capacity, and not great battery life, but, its also a small and lightweight device overall. The suction is decent, but not spectacular. My quibble with the device is that the power cable plugs directly into the device instead of into the base. Most people are going to leave the device plugged in, and the device is smart enough to shut off charging when its finished so you dont have to worry about it getting hot. But this means that you have to unplug it before every use, and then plug the cable back into the device after using it. I know, I know -- it doesnt seem like much, but, seriously, it would be a lot more handy if the power cable plugged into the base, and it just automatically charged via the base.
