Actually, its mostly a marketing ploy by the very popular "Quick Lube" industry. 10 minute Oil Change places in the US are about as common as a McDonalds (I dont know how it is in the rest of the world). I think even with most US cars, you could go 6-10,000 between Oil Changes in normal conditions.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, unless its just much bigger in person than it looks online... maybe we have a weird household, but, with two golden retrievers, we have ALOT of dog hair, and just vacuuming with a regular vacuum it fills up the vacuum bag/bagless container real quick. This thing looks like it has a thimble for a container for the dirt. It might be good for an apartment or a house with no kids/pets, but, with any kids or pets where your getting alot of dirt and otherwise in the house, I'd think you'd need a bigger compartment (otherwise your following it around anyway's the whole time to empty it).
