You save the 20 minutes once a week.

That's it. That is the whole point. A slight convenience. I use one in a 1 bedroom apartment.

Considering some of these things can cost almost £1000. This firmly then lives in the total waste of money pile then. I will stick with my £50 tesco vacuum thank you.

I bought mine about 6 years ago for 200 EUR then. Still works. Had to switch the battery once.
