Ah, I see!
My mother uses it regularly (she is using it as I type this actually) to keep the hard flooring in the kitchen clean, and also to clean the door mat at the back door.
Just today I picked up a carpet sweeper for £2.50, which will replace the handheld's duties except for doing crevices and certain things that require suction rather than just a spinning brush roll.
I'll create a separate thread later on about the sweeper though.
