Bead Vacuum Review

Have you seen this handy little gadget?
This is a handy little bead vacuum and made by Darice.  I've used mine a couple of times in the last month and it's a pretty handy little device.  The beads are sucked up through the nozzle, then the laws of gravity take place and the beads drop into the clear blue cup and the dust goes to the back where the filter is.  Occasionally there are specs of dust among the beads but not usually a lot.  It's battery operated and fairly light weight.  Only caution would be to keep the motor running until you have the unit upright so any beads that haven't made it through the first filter don't fall out.

I found mine at Michael's a year or so ago and if I remember correctly is was around $24.99 but don't quote me on that.  I understand it also comes in pink.
