When I bought this toy, I was skeptical. It sucks pretty darn well, for what I paid, I did not expect much. I actually use it to get the bugs out of the corners of the carpet and baseboards while the kids use it to catch ants and spiders outside. There are several attachments with different sizes. I am not sure about the durability because I have only had it a month or so. The kids love this and I do not have to use tissues to pick up dried up bugs :)

This product is a very horrible attempt at a "bug vacuum" I buy crickets in bulk to feed my pets and when they die I takes a long time to pick each one up so I purchased this vacuum. This "toy" has a hard time even on high setting sucking up a 1/4 in dead cricket. So if you want a pile of plastic to look at it is a great buy but if you plan to use it save your money!

We've given this to a couple of friends for birthdays, and we finally have received one of our own! My children, 4yo and 6yo, have had so much fun with this. So far, everything has been dead that they've sucked up, since it's Winter. I'm sure bugs will be running/flying for their lives once it does warm up. We have been able to use the magnifying glass to look at all the parts of the dead bugs caught. The children have also used this to look at rocks under the magnifying glass, to look at the facets and shapes. I would definitely get this for another friend.
