BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster Cordless Hand Vac, frosted silver, white

I normally wait a little longer to rate and item but I really like this. I actually bought this with low expectations based on some other reviews but I am very happy. I use it every day! I use it in the kitchen for crumbs mostly and around the rest of the house for just general dirt. It's also very handy to suck up bugs that make their way in. I have had no issue picking anything up EXCEPT pet hair that is on a couch. It does nothing for that, but that's not why I bought this, I have something else for that. It will get pet hair tumbleweeds though! I was also impressed when it picked up actual dust on a bookshelf. I just thought I would test it out on a shelf that had a thin layer of dust and it picked it up. I don't tend to use it for that purpose, seems like the rag is faster but I was impressed that it picked it up. It's very lightweight and isn't really all that loud. So far I have had no issues with the battery life or any other function. I'll update the review if anything goes downhill.Update 9/09/14: This is still going strong and I actually use it even more now. I use this at least three times a day just to clean up my little one's cracker mess! I also use it to clean the crumbs out of her high chair. It works really great on hard surfaces. Still super happy with this!Update 7/19/15: I am still so happy with this and it continues to work great. I use it everyday, and I'll admit I'm lazy about dumping it and I have not had to replace anything. I'm buying a second one for the basement.Update 10/28/15: Well this unit ended up loosing it's battery life just this past couple of weeks! It wouldn't stay on much more than a minute or so before it would start sounding really weak. I contacted amazon and they directed me to black & decker, they replied right away and sent me out a replacement unit. I haven't had the chance to set it up yet but I will keep the review updated with any changes. Overall I still love this unit and don't regret my purchase, I'm also happy with the great service from Black & Decker.

Update 9/9/16: I boxed my juiceless DustBuster and let it sit for a few months because I was annoyed that I would have to pay more than $10 shipping to return it to a Black & Decker Factory Service Center. Then, the day came when we took a road trip that took us through a city that had a Factory Service Center. The return was easy and I received a new DustBuster a few days later.I was disappointed with the first one; however, the warranty was honored and I hope the second one lasts as long as my old red & white model did. I upped the stars from 1 to 4 to reflect a satisfactory warranty experience and because I like it when it works.___________________________________________________Update 3/17/16: I've had this model just 6 months and now, suddenly, it has almost no power. Such a disappointment! My previous DustBuster lasted several years and had a better charge at the end when I decided to replace it. This device is a total waste of money if the battery is going to die in 6 months. Reduced rating from 4 stars to 1 star.___________________________________________________I currently have an older model 9.6v red and white Dustbuster (model #CHV9608), but the battery is losing steam. So, I purchased this new model (model #BDH9600CHV) to replace it. In comparison, they are both about the same length. The new model is 4 and 11/16 inches wide. The debris bowl on the older model is partially obscured by a white front panel and is more opaque so you can’t see the exact pieces of the debris. My only issue about this new model is that the face of the debris bowl, though tinted, is completely transparent and you can see every hair and speck of debris inside – kind of gross, especially since my device is hanging next to a refrigerator.The old model had a light to indicate that the device was seated correctly in the charger. The new one doesn’t have this, but it seems to slide into place effortlessly, so no light is necessary. The old model had a built-in extension that I found useful on rare occasion; the new model does not have this.There are two small accessories, which are nice, but there is no place on the device or charger to store them. I’ve put the brush accessory on the Dustbuster; the other accessory will be lost among the Legos.Overall, I like this new model. It looks nice (except for the transparent debris bowl), fits my space, has sufficient power, and is priced well. I recommend it.

Muy buena aspiradora, con muy buena potencia y duración de la pila. El unico pero es que no he podido conseguir el filtro de polvo que después de un seis meses y usándose un par de veces por semana ya requiere ser cambiado de forma urgente.

So far I am very happy with this product. It looks to be a well made unit - sturdy. It is much more powerful than the cheaper hand vacs out there. Hold the charge well and has a few attachments for upholstery or getting in small spaces. The unit is easy to clean and the filters are was washable. Unlike other models on the market this one you can leave in the recharging unit without screwing up the battery. I've only been using it for less than a month yet, but if it continues to work as it does now I will be purchasing another for my mother for Christmas.

Good product for a short time. Battery will start to die after one year. You HAVE to keep it on the charger at all time. After a year it will only last for a couple minutes off the charger and loses vacuum power fast. If you use something like this often, DON'T buy this one. Spend a little more and buy one that has a cord or lithium battery as it will last you longer and put your money to better use. My next purchase will be one with a cord or lithium battery.

La batería deja de funcionar a los 6 meses. Es algo bien sabido, lo dice en muchas reseñas de Amazon de EEUU. Lamentablemente no las leí antes de caer en este fraude.

SUPER cheap and works REALLY, REALLY well. Very happy with the purchase! 5 stars**Update**I have had this about 6 months and it still works well, but only for about 2 minutes before starting to die. The battery is completely shot, and in not a very long time (like I said, 6 months). It used to run for a long time, but just recently it started becoming shorter and shorter and really quickly progressed to only running at full power for about 2 minutes.
