![BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster Junior Toy Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Realistic Action & Sound! Pretend Role Play Toy for Kids with Whirling Beads & Batteries Included [Amazon Exclusive]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717gpUzi-XL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
Our son loves messing around with our vacuum, so buying this was a no brainer. He instantly fell in love with it.
It's well made and the perfect size for him. He's gonna love it for a while. That said, there are two easily fixable, but somewhat significant gripes:
1) The vacuum sound effect is VERY loud. There should either be a volume control hidden in the battery compartment, or the volume should be notched down significantly. I could see myself smashing this vacuum into tiny pieces after a few days, so as a solve, I put a round piece of white tape over the speaker in the back and it now sounds much softer. I recommend you do this immediately - before you give it to your child.
2) For some inexplicable reason, the vacuum sound continues after you stop pressing the button - for a few seconds. Too many seconds in my opinion, because it makes it seem like there's something wrong with the toy, and you loose some of the value of what could be a fun hand-eye-coordination exercise. I guess they added this extra time because were trying to mimic the wind down timing of the motor in the real thing, but (a) no young child would understand that nuance and (b) the sound does not taper down in tone like a real motor/vacuum does, so it's a disconnect overall. Big design flaw in my opinion.
Overall, a good purchase. I'd definitely recommend it if your kid likes pretend cleaning or if he/she won't leave your real vacuum alone.
Side note: There are some reviews here that were surprised this **TOY** does not actually operate like a vacuum (i.e. with suction). Do you know how complicated (and dangerous) that would be? Would I have to change a tiny filter every month? Would I have to empty the dust bin? Would I have to watch while they use it so they don't suck their eye into the toy? Come on. It's a toy vacuum. Of course it doesn't have any suction.

Cute vacuum
Cute vacuum. Really light and easy to carry for my LO. Came used which is why it only a 3 star. Looked brand new but was loose by in the box with no packing, instruction, or warranty card

There is no real suction. It is a toy.
