Amazon.com Review
Powerful suction and cordless mobility come together in the Black & Decker cyclonic DustBuster. An impressive 9.6 volts, the compact little vacuum makes quick work of dry spills around the house or cleanup in the car or woodshop. Like other DustBuster models, this one collects debris in a bagless pop-off container. In addition, it uses cyclonic suction to minimize clogging in the filter, in turn maximizing power and increasing run time. Easily controlled with one hand, the vacuum manages well and is relatively light for its power. A single sliding switch turns it on and off and a simple push button releases the dirt cup for emptying. Cleverly stored onboard, a crevice tool and a brush attachment help you target narrow spaces and upholstery. A charging base is also included and can be mounted to the wall for tidy storage and ongoing re-juicing. On a full charge, the machine runs up to 11 minutes at a stretch. Measuring approximately 15-1/2 inches long, it carries a full two-year warranty from Black & Decker. --Emily Bedard

 This Dustbuster is one good sucker! June 28, 2004

I was very leary about buying a Dustbuster due to previous issues I had, but I must say that after using this vac for the last week, I am in love with Dustbuster again.
This Dustbuster has great suction and power. I really put this vac to the test by using it on various surfaces from ceramic tile to carpet to furniture. I didn't have very high expectations for carpet or furniture, but this little vac really surprised me. I used it to clean my stairs and it did a better job than our regular vacuum or Shark cleaner ever had. And with the help of the brush attachment, it worked great at removing cat hair from the furniture which is not an easy task to complete (those with pets know exactly what I am talking about). I even cleaned my car and my daughter's car seat with the attachments and it sucked up every crumb!
The only things that I have not liked are the weight (it is a tad heavy for long cleaning periods) and the noise factor (it is fairly loud and scares my toddler). Also the machine is a little bulky, so it doesn't fit too well into tight spaces without the attachments. But this isn't too much of a problem since the attachments are located right under the vac itself, so it is hard to lose and very convenient to use them.
You can clean this vac in a snap. I love the cyclonic filter that traps more dirt than the traditional Dustbuster. Even washing the filter is easy, it just comes apart and washes in warm, soapy water. And with the clear container, you know exactly when to empty it.
If you are looking for a powerful little vac that is versitile enough to use anywhere in the house, then I would highly recommend this Dustbuster. It really makes cleaning easier!
***Update 11/05/06: Well after almost 2.5 years of owning this Dustbuster, I am sorry to report that it is on it's last leg. The battery will not hold a charge for more than 5 minutes, but it still has good suction while it works. We put this Dustbuster through the ringer with 2 little messy kids and a cat. It was abused at times when my toddler got a hold of it...she dropped it many times by trying to help but it still continuted to work. It was used virtually everyday and it held up better than I expected it to. I doubt anyone expects a Dustbuster to last forever, but I was happy with its performance over the past 2 years. I would still recommed this product, but just be aware that it's life span is only a couple years at best. Happy shopping!
It's important to know WHEN to charge... September 19, 2006

Many reviews here complained about the battery/charger lifespan. It's unfortunate that most people don't understand rechargeable batteries well and the manufacturer fails to provide the info.
This handvac uses NiCd rechargeable batteries, which perform best if fully discharged periodically. It's due to the so called "memory effect", meaning the battery "remembers" the depth of the normal discharges and adjusts its capacity accordingly. So if you usually run your vac for half a minute before placing it back to its charging base, its capacity will go down to half minute soon.
The base can be wall mounted and tempts you to charge your vac after each use. I'd suggest you leave the base unplugged until the battery quits. Then unplug again after charging overnight. This should keep the battery in good condition for years.

My apartment is all hardwood except for some short-pile carpet on the stairs. Cat hair and grit accumulates on the carpet, but I didn't want to buy a full-sized vacuum just for stairs, and I also wanted a cordless item for convenience. I was worried at first I would need a vacuum with a rotating brush for carpet, but then I thought about how they always just get clogged up with hair (especially my long hair that gets everywhere). So I gave this Dustbuster a try, and I am very very happy with it - in fact I think it is now my favourite cleaning tool.
It picks up all the cat hair, dust and grit on the short pile carpet, sucks up dust bunnies, cat litter, cat food bits, food crumbs. I now use it arounjd the litterbox every morning and in the bathroom to get the dust behind the toilet, I use it on the sofa to get rid of the cat hair (which it does well with the included upholstry brush attachment) and to get those dust bunnies that accumulate behind the electronics around cords. It also works great to clean computer keyboards and in the car for the air vents, carpets and upholstry.
It has plenty of power, and it's light enough and well balanced so it's easy to use, and sucks up everything!
Serious performer with great suction December 17, 2005

I've been using this for over 6 months. I'm very pleased with every penny I spent.
I first bought this smallish vac to just clean my desk and drawers and such in my room. There the thing worked great, already.
Incidentally (and unfortunately), I also have to use this room as "sort-of-woodworking-room", even though the floor is carpeted. (I live in an apartment and I'm not supposed to mess with flooring). No matter how carefully I cover the floor with paper etc., the floor under my woodwork bench almost always has some sawdust and such, and my full-size vac couldn't remove the things trapped deep inside the carpet fibers.
Encouraged by the successful desktop use, I tried to clean the floor with this. After some minutes, I was impressed by the amout of dust (that was never caught by larger vac) caught on the filter. This guy is a serious performer with great suction.
I occasionally use this for my car, and if you have kids this is a must. Great for cleaning tiny bread pieces and such, you know.
It's obvious that you don't want to clean the entire floor with this, but I don't hesitate to recommend this to anybody.

The other reviewer has said everything that needs to be said about this dustbuster..just to reinerate....It's awesome.
Great sucktion abd easy cleanup.
A bit big, but it won't bother you at all and the noise factor is what you would probably expect from a 9.6 volter..
I'm actually searching around the apartment looking for any crumbs, dirt or anything I can suck with this..lol
It's a great vac..
Just my 2 cents..
