This is probably the ONLY info-mercial item I know of that actually works!
The restaurant that i work at has one. We use it under tables, and after highchairs are used (you know, the mess)....It picks up everything. From paper, to scrambled eggs. It makes a kind of odd noise when you use it...not a vaccum type noise, but sorta odd...oh, and it really does pick up stuff every way you turn it...swivels well. VERY light
It has a battery pack that you can recharge, which is cool. And emptying it is really easy.
They sell them at stores now, I know I've seen it at Target. If I had carpet in my house, I'd buy one. But I'm not sure what the brushes would do to my hardwood, so I havent' gotten one yet.
Hope that helps!
