I bought it a month ago, battery charge is terrible as it dies after 20 minutes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like the design, that it’s lightweight/cordless, and overall it’s pretty powerful especially on max mode. I just wish that battery lasted longer especially because the difference in power between regular and max is huge so when you need to use max, you may get 5 to 10 minutes of use and then you have to recharge it.
