Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner

I love this vacuum! My old hand held was on it last leg and I was thinking about getting the Dyson, but really did not want to spend that much money -- especially when I found out how much the Dyson replacement battery costs. One of my friends had purchased this B&D and showed it to me. She raved about the power of the machine so I looked into this one. It seems to have a lot of positive reviews and so I purchased it. Love that the price was right. AND it is very powerful. It does not loose suction when vacuuming. Super easy to use just push a button to pivot the nose/nozzle out and turn it on. It actually has more than one power setting which is nice. It folds up for storing. And dumping the collection container is a breeze. I am so glad I purchased this vacuum! I now recommend it to everyone. 


I like this dustbuster so much, I just bought this extra one for my son for college. I've owned lots of dustbusters and this one is the best one I've ever had. Very powerful, holds a good charge, pivots to get into tight places, does a good job for cars as well, easy to clean & does not take up too much counter space since it charges in an upright position. It is a little heavier, but worth it! 


I'm very pleased with this purchase, even more so today when I see that the price has gone up significantly since I recently purchased the product. I read multiple reviews that complained of the amount of noise it makes. It's a vacuum cleaner, it's going to make noise & I can tolerate the noise for the outstanding performance. It picks up almost anything and does a great job. I love that you can dispose of the contents with minimal effort. It got clogged up once which required a little effort to clear the clog, otherwise no complaints here. Great for daily crumb pick ups, quick car clean ups and now the dust bunnies are GONE :) 




We bought this over a year ago after going through several different "dustbusters". This one has had consistent power, easy to use even for my 9 and 11 year olds cleaning up kitty litter weekly.

I love the long thin nozzle that gets under my car seats - without having to search for attachments since it stays attached and just folds up after use, and I can clean my whole minivan without running out of juice! Haven't found any "cons" so far, so have to give it 5 stars. 



We are gardeners and were looking for an organic way to remove insect pests from our plants. We were relly looking for something to remove squash bugs (stink bugs) from our pumpkins. It takes a long time to charge the battery the first time, so I didn't get to try it out the day we got it. After it was fully charged, with my B&D vac in hand I went forth to the garden. No bug could stand against the powerful vacuum of the little B&D. The easy to clean filter is also a plus for this use. I sometimes get a lot of soil in the vac when I try to get the bugs. Just pop open the collection door and remove the filters to clean. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be used as an organic insecticide, but it really works well. No problens so far.
