‘Never step on a Lego again,’ the mom-of-one wrote on her viral post, praising the machine for its sorting ability.
‘It separates the Legos from dirt and dust,’ she said as she showed herself using the machine as it sucked up the small toys.
In an interview with Today, LaTreese said that she first learned about the device on TikTok and purchased it to help clean up the mountains of Legos left behind by her two-year-old daughter, Yara.
‘The first day that I had it, she was using it and then she’d open it up, pour out the Legos and vacuum again. Now it’s a fun activity for her,’ the mom said.

LaTreese bought her machine from Amazon, but, according to the website, it appears as though the device is ‘currently unavailable.’ It is unclear if or when it will come back.
Social media users couldn’t contain their excitement when it came to the small but mighty, machine and gushed over it in the comments.
‘I need this lol,’ one user said.
Another added: ‘Now this is awesome.’
‘This is so cool,’ someone else said.

‘This would be very easy for kids to use too,’ another user wrote.
While most social media users were in awe of the machine, some criticized the mom and claimed that if her children couldn’t clean up Legos, then they shouldn’t have any.
One user said: ‘Umm.. just pick them up.’
Another added: ‘Or, here (sic) me out, if your kid can’t pick them up and understand why we don’t leave Lego’s (sic) on the ground , then maybe they shouldn’t have Legos, just an idea though.’
While most social media users were in awe of the machine, some criticized the mom
‘Ah solutions to problems we don’t have. Get kids to clean up after themselves. Makes for better adults in the future,’ someone else wrote.
But LaTresse told Today she was ‘used to’ the criticism as she frequently reviews products on her page and noted that even the haters help to ‘boost views.’
While you can’t purchase the machine at Amazon any longer, you can still purchase it on the company’s website.
