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.

Cute but not actually useful - Xiaoying Zhang -
Although this certainly looks more interesting than other USB vacuum cleaners, it doesn't vacuum very well. The foam strip on the bottom of the vacuum picks up more dust than the vacuum itself. Would be interesting to show off to friends, but don't bother trying to clean with it.
