Black & Decker CHV9600 9.6-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster 1

This is the high-end DustBuster, but neither its lifespan nor its effectiveness would justify the energy it uses unless you have a disability, such as a sprained wrist or elbow, that would prevent you from using a dustpan. In its favor, I will say that fully charged, this mini-vac has all the power that a regular Dustbuster ought to have but doesn't. The problem is that it does not remain fully charged very long. After you've owned it for several months, recharging it in its cradle no longer works very well anymore. Yes, it wil still run well for about the first 20 seconds of use, but the power begins dwindling down at that point and after about two minutes it is gasping to stay alive. Back to the recharger it goes. And this situation occurs even though I keep all the filters and lint traps totally clean. This DustBuster -- and all the others as well -- lacks a soft chamois-type fuzzy attachment for wide wooden blinds and a dial to determine how much suction you would like to use. It lacks a stick-on 10-inch arm with a downspout, so, cleaning dust off books in your shelves is impossible. With no power dial, cleaning lint off decorative drapes is out. The DustBuster sucks the fabric up against the air intake, and prevents you from using it further. But its biggest fault is its battery. This is the second of its kind that I have bought. NOT BECAUSE I LIKE THE PRODUCT, but because once you mount the base onto the wall of your service porch, if you have wallpaper there, as I do, and you buy a unit in another style, you still have the footprint of the old unit on the wall along with all the ugly holes drilled through the wallpaper. You're supposed to be able to recharge the battery and leave the unit resting in the cradle. That works for about six months. (On the regular DustBusters it worked for about six weeks.) Then, you need a whole new unit. Why? BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET REPLACEMENT BATTERIES FOR IT!!! OR FOR THE OTHER UNITS EITHER! YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE M-Fing UNIT ALL OVER AGAIN. And you'd better get one exactly the same or you've ruined your wall. Heaven forbid if the manufacturers change the footprint, and that could easily happen. Why mount it at all? Because if you live in a small house, or city apartment, then your shelf space is at a premium and you do not want to have a zillion cords dangling all over everything. Maybe the best thing is to go back to using a dust pan and a handbroom, or a dustcloth. Gee. What a concept. Powered by human energy. Amazing. I wasn't sure that was a viable option anymore.

I love it for cleaning between "real" cleanings. It's quite powerful for such a little thing.

This is a very good hand vacuum for cleaning small messes and for removing dust in easy to reach areas. No complaints.
