Duke can "duke" out the cleaning power with his awesome tongue, right? OH! Sorry...that was punny! :-D!! Gosh...I MUST stop making those awful puns! Oh, well... :-D
My dog loves to lick up messes! Dogs really are very versatile vacuums, as their saliva dissolves leftover food, they can lick up liquids and eat solids, which makes them a wet/dry vacuum, and you never have to change their bags/filters/dirt containers! Occasionally you have to clean up the leftover leftovers! :-D
I am not very fond of the vacuum as it just seems like the plastic junk most companies make nowadays. There is an old saying: "You get what you pay for!" So, if you get a brand new vacuum for under $50, I'd say it is going to be bad. It might do the job, but I don't think it is going to be great. I will always stick with a vintage vacuum or when I get enough money, maybe a nice Sebo, Miele, something like that...
