Not as good as the older 7.2v model DB700 Type 1 - Molyneux - Northern Kentucky
I received the B&D vac model CHV1408 as a Christmas present. It was intended to replace the DB 700, with the two rechargeable batteries, that I have used for years. Since it was a present, I had to put the new one in service right away. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with its performance. First, ir's heavier that the older model. Second, it just doesn't have the pick-up power of the old model. Now, after trying to use the CHV1408 for several months, I'm taking it out of service and restoring the older DB700 to "preferred mini-vac status".
Another point to consider is that the battery in the CHV1408 is not replaced easily where with the older model, it takes a pair of 3.6v VersaPak batteries that are readily available and easily replaced.
My suggestion - save your money. Don't buy the model CHV1408.
