The part I am not convinced of is that such a little thing could do much more than remove loose crumbs. Motion- you own these things- could you give me an honest assessment on the power they bring to the table?

Getting used to them can be a bit of a pain, compared to normal vacuuming, but once you're used to dealing with them, they do a far better job than standard vacuum cleaners. Very thorough and actually get A LOT of stuff off your floors. Being small, they also go under your furniture, which you won't do normally when vacuuming. From my experience, they're best when you schedule them to go every night at say, 3 AM. Your floors stay clean and you don't have to deal with them during the day.
They are expensive, though, and you'll need to pop $300 for the latest and greatest every 2 years or so. Not that the old one isn't working anymore, just that the newest models are always so much better. Compare that to spending $400 or so on a really nice vacuum cleaner that lasts 10 years.
