Barbuzzo Battery-Operated Zamboni Desk Vacuum

Best Gift Ever!!
Can't afford a full size machine for our hockey coach so this is the next best thing! It is perfect...super cute and actually works vacuuming up his desk! Who doesn't absolutely love the Zamboni Machine? Need to get a couple more of these for gifts...

Inaccurate Sizing!
In a past life I used to be an ice technician, which means I used to drive a Zamboni. I bought this item to remind me of those days. While I have seen others here who have complained about the actual vacuum's performance, I can't speak to that as I did not buy it to clean anything. My one complaint about this item though is it's size. The specs claim that "the Zamboni desk vacuum measures approximately 13-4/5 by 15-4/5 by 12-1/5 inches." In reality the BOX for the item measures 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 5 inches, with the actual vacuum smaller than that. Quite a difference! This item is a faithful rendering of a Zamboni, all the way down to the moving board brush under the machine. It is much smaller than advertised though, so if the large size claimed was one reason you chose it, as it was for me, you might want to think again whether or not this is what you want.

Cool Toy
I bought this for my sister and it arrived in packaging as described. It was about the size you would expect (handheld) and fairly heavy. The vacuum part of it works, but only covers a limited portion, not the width of the toy, so actual vacuuming with it would be tedious. It does look cool, and would be very cool with some themed stickers (favorite hockey team?) to decorate it, as it is a bit bland.
