In response to the Tools of the Trade post: I use (and love!) the The Shark a Turbo Hand Vacuum (600 watts) by Euro Pro. It is so great! It cost around $30 on sale. It is a small silver vacuum with a hose attachment. Cleaning my fuzzies cage (and all that scattered litter) used to be such a struggle. Regular hand vacs were too bulky to fit in my small cage areas and regular vacuum hoses were so bulky to use on the high levels. The shark is light, has a simple hose, and really picks up the food, litter, etc well! I give it two paws up! It is really quick and easy to clean my cage now! Risa [Posted in FML issue 3880]
