Title: Stunning Handheld Vacuum-Cordless Powerful
Review: WOW!!!This is the absolute best hand-held vacuum I have ever used! I have had so many that just could not pick up because lack of power. This vacuum has the power and holds charge so good. Very strong, durable and most reliable that I have ever used. I absolutely love this and highly recommend. I will never choose another knowing what this one can do.

Title: Two years later… still going strong
Review: Purchased in Nov 2012, writing a second update, now in April 2015.This Dust Buster keeps on going. Still holding a charge VERY WELL and has not lost an ounce of suction power. I’m planning to add another one to the garage, and possibly adding more so that there is one on each floor of the house. Really amazing design and usefulness.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Purchased in Nov 2012, writing this review in Jan 2014. Its my first video, but of all the products I’ve reviewed on Amazon, this one deserves an extra star.We had a Black and Decker Dust Buster when they first came out (sometime around 1987). You would charge it up, and right after it got off the charger, it could suck up sawdust, but the battery would drain quickly, and suction power would lower until it barely made a noise and you couldn’t feel the air moving into it.The Lithium Ion battery changes all that. When it is on, it is on at full blast, with the ability to suck up everything that fits in the tube. I’ve run it hard over the past year, and about 60 seconds before the battery dies, I can hear the sound reducing and you know it is almost out of juice — That has only happened when I intentionally left it off the charger overnight in my garage in sub-freezing temps, then was doing woodworking and turned it back on to clean up a huge mess of sawdust. When it is out of juice, it just plain turns off. Much more satisfying than slowly sucking at lower power. But with day-to-day use, and always putting it back on the charger, I’ve never had it run out.What you WILL find with this dust buster is that your home vacuum gets used a lot less. 🙂 This thing is about as addictive as a power washer. Once you turn it on, good luck putting it down; it is so satisfying to use and works so well, that I inevitably work around the room I’m in and suck up everything else I see on the floor, surfaces, baseboards and so on. In fact, while I was thinking about this review, I was trying to remember a time where I only vacuumed up the ONE THING that I was planning to suck up, and couldn’t remember a time where I DIDN’T go around and clean up other things. It really is fun to use and the house is just naturally cleaner as a result. When you have the right tool for the job, any job can be fun, and this is the absolute right tool for the job. Right now I’m saving up to add one to the garage and other to the basement so that I always have one close at hand. Our upright vacuum now only comes out when we want to do the deep cleaning, about once a month.I use it for cleaning up spills while baking, cleaning up the table (chairs and floor) after the kids eat, I suck lint off the couch, clean up sawdust in the garage, suck up ash from the fireplace, suck up paper cuttings and stickers the kids leave on the floor. The list goes on.Another thing I have to mention is how easy it is to disassemble and clean. The filter system is great. I’m only now looking at replacing the filters, though I probably should have done this every six months. I keep it very clean by emptying the container, but also taking apart the filters and rinsing or brushing them out. I’ve seen a lot of vacuums meet ash or sawdust and immediately spray particles in the air, but this vacuum does not. It does an amazing job of containing very fine dust particles, which in turn raises your confidence to suck up anything and everything you see.The only two things anyone in the world could complain about are the noise and the LED light. I throw out both of those arguments as pointless, but I’ll address them. The noise is loud. In the video you’ll see that it gets up to 98 decibels. That is louder than conversation, about as loud as a Subway. The pitch of the noise is probably what some people object to. It has a higher pitch noise – closer to a weed whacker than a Harley – but the decibel level is what I’d expect for truly awesome suction power.The other thing people complain about is how bright the LED is. I’ll give them that. It surprised me. You can see the blue glow outside the window of our kitchen. But if this does bother you, get out a Sharpie or some model paint and put a couple of dabs on it to either block or diffuse the brightness.Neither complaint should hold you back from getting this thing. If I had to choose this or an upright vacuum I’d choose this, or two of these.UPDATED 2/16/2014: It looks like you can replace the batteries if they ever die. Not easily, but if you have a multimeter and you really wanted to, the batteries are easy to get out and are stored in a nice battery pack. I uploaded another video to YouTube here: […]

Title: good function BUT very loud
Review: great tool – good suction – easy up clean – dies what it supposed to do BUT ITS EXTREMELY LOUD!it is so noisy it should come with ear protection / coverings or warning because of the high pitched loud sound;i’ll keep the item and recommend buyer beware – it’s really really loud.

Title: Long Term Review (6+ years) of B&D CHV1410L Cordless Vacuum
Review: UPDATE: It is now 2019(!), and I have been using this vacuum for 6 years now. It still functions, and I am still using the original filter. Nothing has changed from my original review, there are still things I would like to change about this product (specifically the way the top locks – or doesn’t lock – into place consistently) but the fact that I have gotten 6 years of use out of a handheld vacuum is unprecedented so far for me so I am happy to overlook that flaw.No broken parts, battery still holds a decent charge (I get about 20 minutes of uninterrupted vacuuming out of it at this point, which is more than enough for small cleanups), and the vacuum basically functions as it did when I purchased it.This appears to be a solid product with a reasonable price point and proven durability, so it still gets 5 stars from me.______________________________________Original review below:______________________________________After several negative experiences with other vacuums, I wanted to wait to do a long-term review of this product because, for me, how a vacuum cleaner holds up to prolonged use is more important than my first impressions. I have now been using this vacuum for 2 years, so I feel pretty confident in giving this product 5 stars (i.e. I love it, with a few minor nitpicks).Why I bought this vacuum: I wanted something to quickly pick up small amounts of debris without having to haul out the much heavier and more cumbersome upright vacuum. I keep it plugged into its dock in the main living area, so I can quickly grab it whenever needed.Things I love: After buying this vacuum, I got golden retriever puppy, so it’s safe to say that about 90% of what I’m vacuuming up nowadays has some amount of dog hair in it. Even though I didn’t buy this for handling pet hair, this vacuum handles it flawlessly. In fact, I frequently use it to grab up the stray tumbleweeds of dog hair that often migrate into the various corners of the house (pet people you’ve probably dealt with this before). You’ll need something much more powerful to get the pet hair out of carpets and furniture, but for hardwood floors, tile and other hard surfaces, it works great.For those who don’t have pets, there’s still plenty of uses for this thing. I use it to grab stray crumbs on the kitchen floor in between deep cleanings. It’s great at picking up small leaves and dirt that get tracked in near the doorways. During the Christmas season, this vacuum is my go-to for picking up the Christmas tree needles which inevitably end up scattered everywhere (much like the dog hair!)So, in summary, I’d say that the vacuum is absolutely great for cleaning small to moderate amounts of debris off of pretty much any type of hard surface. I wouldn’t recommend using it to clean pet hair or debris out of carpets or upholstery, although it can do so, provided it’s not embedded very deeply.Cleaning: The vacuum is bagless and can be disassembled into 5 pieces for cleaning which you can see in the photo. It’s a pretty straightforward process since most of the pieces are plastic. There’s a cloth filter which can also be cleaned or replaced, as needed. The filter pops out and can be emptied into a trash bin, the full disassembly is only required if you want to clean all the parts (I tend to do this after 2-3 times of just emptying the cartridge). After cleaning, I like to put a couple of drops of essential oils (peppermint, etc) on the filter, which gives the room a nice smell while vacuuming. So far the filter and all internal parts have held up well with only cosmetic damage from scuffs, etc.Cons: There’s not much to mention here, but a couple small things worth noting:1. The top of the vacuum cleaner is one solid piece that has to be clipped into the rest of the body of the vacuum. It can sometimes seem like it is locked in but, if you do not do this correctly, the end will fall off during vacuuming. This can be annoying, as you have to stop and re-attach it again. I’d recommend future models include a better locking mechanism, or at least something that holds together a bit better.2. Battery life is good; however after 2 years of moderate to heavy use, I get about 10 minutes of solid vacuuming before the battery dies out. I’d say this represents an overall degradation of about 50%, given that, when new, the vacuum could handle about 20 minutes before needing a recharge. This is, of course, a rough estimation, and I haven’t compared performance to other vacuum models, just something to be aware of. It doesn’t bother me much given that I only use it for small amounts of debris and not for vacuuming the entire house at once.Who would I recommend this for?-Anyone who has hard floors or surfaces they want to clean, without the hassle of a full-size vacuum.-Dorm use-Studio apartments-People with pets who want a quick way to get hair out of their (non-carpeted) surfaces

Review: I love this Dust Buster ordered it as the 12 volt model which I already have seems to be no longer available.The only problem when it arrived was that it came with a USA/Canada two prong charger base and not the three pin which we use here in the UK, so I had to purchase the adapter suitable for USA/Canada appliances.

Review: This light weight ( only 3 lbs ) machine is very handy! I love that it has a pull out extended nozzle and little brush attachment that is attached so you will never lose its parts! It has decent suction and I mostly use it to vac my bedside “furry” carpets, dust bunnies and I use it a lot in the kitchen to suck up coffee grounds or crumbs. It is super easy to clean and love the reusable washable filter!One thing I have noticed is that when it is sitting on its charger the solid blue light ( for some models it is a red light) doesn’t always come on which means it is not charging so I have to fiddle with it a bit.I haven’t had it for very long so I will update in 6 months if there are any more pros/cons.**UPDATE JAN 7, 2025**I have learned that the “blue” light is on only when the vac needs to be charged and shuts off when fully charged! It lasts about 45 mins to 1 hour. Enough time for my daily clean to vac crumbs/coffee grounds in the kitchen, hair shed on the bathroom floor, vac all 10 area or runner rugs in my 7 bedroom house, to vac the exterior and interior filters on my air purifier and pine needles off my front porch. I love that it has its own charging base because it is always fully charged and ready to go! I wish my upright vac and my shop vac had this level of suction and ease of cleaning. I have not yet had to replace the disposable filter because it is so simple to clean out. I use an old toothbrush to simply brush it clean and the reusable filter catches most of the debris before it gets to the replaceable one. I literally use this every day, it even sucks up dust! It is by far my favourite addition to my cleaning tools and I have no idea how I lived without it at this point! (( I have been a professional cleaner on and off since the mid 80’s)) I highly recommend this hand vac!I will review again if anything changes such as longevity! I hope it lasts for many years, it feels very durable!UPDATE Oct 22, 2025Still working as new and these filters fit perfectly !
