I paid $200 (with tax and shipping) to Woot for one of these. It’s a great handheld vacuum. I’d certainly buy one at this price. It does a great job in the car and readily sucked up a really big black widow spider. It didn’t kill it, though. No matter how many times I spun it around in the canister, the damn thing wouldn’t die. But with the easy release opening I was able to drop it into the toilet and flush before it could crawl out.
