It.... sucks? Lol. I've had it for I think 2.5 years and it still works just fine. Honestly for vacuuming out rat poop I think any cheap hand vac would work, I feel like mine is "fancier" than what I need (it has like extra pet hair attachments and whatnot), but I got it for Christmas and I don't think my parents knew that I really just wanted it for the rat cage lol.
Although I do on random occasion use it in my car when I don't want to lug out the shop vac, and it does a good job with that too.
