Black & Decker CHV1568 - Frankie -
This vacuum is as good as hand held vacuums get for under .00. My only concerns are the battery longevity and is Amazon a registered Black & Decker dealer that will process warranty claims. I read feedback on this unit from a few different sources and These people all had the same problems. They buy this to do big jobs with it and it doesn't work out for them very well. I use it for seconds at a time and this vacuum is the best one I have ever owned.
Cordless DustBuster hand vacuum - Charles Block - Enterprise, AL United States
This product is less useful than the 14 volt DustBuster that I replaced. the nozzle on the end of the device can be extended, but the nozzle is smaller than the 14 volt item.
So far, so good. - Mitchell R. Wenger -
Works great so far - just had it a month or so now. More powerful, yet quieter than our previous model. Haven't had a chance to really load it up and test the cyclonic action when it's full, but shouldn't take too long with a dog and an 8-year-old around...
Works as intended - Mashif - Nashville, TN USA
As a hand vac with attachments it seems to do a great job. It doesn't replace a full size vac, but for reaching small areas, and getting up pet hair, it's ideal.
GREAT LITTLE VACUUM - Tessa Centeio -
this little vacuum is so powerful!! It works wonderful with and without the attachments. It's even gotten my 7 year old to want to vacuum his room an everything else because its so powerful and fun to use. I would recommend buying the extra filters along with the vacuum as I can see them not lasting very long. I plan on buying the filters today, just to have them on hand, because I would hate to not be able to use it just because I ran out of filters. And I plan on using it alot. Works awesome on hardwood stairs and carpet. I love it!!!
great power,poor design. - trickydick -
Great power,poor design. needs accessories like the HV9010 brush.There's a little area above the inlet that collects debris that is difficult to remove. Great suction though. Accessories from the HV9010 should be included.
great value - Wally Kohl - Lincoln City, OR
the product arrived quicker than I planned and works beautifully.
Definitely an improved design from the 7.2 volt unit that the batteries died on after many,many years.
I would recommend this unit to anyone. It is light weight, easy to use, and powerful for its size.
Nice vacuum - JGM - ODB, TX USA
Over the years, these cordless vacuums have really improved. The Black and Decker 9.6 Volt Cyclonic-Action Dustbuster is a real winner. It is light and powerful. So good that I have given two of these as gifts.
Will the Dustbuster pick up everything? No, of course not. Reading the reviews of not only this vacuum but many other portables, I found that sometimes negative reviews were based on unrealistic expectations for a small portable vacuum.
For the price, this dustbuster is a nice way of cleaning up light spills. I highly recommend it.
Awesome Product for its price - spice007 - NJ
This is a great prodcut for its price, I just got it for 10$, so no complains.
Handy item - Ricardo Winez - Sparta, NJ
If you clean the filter consistantly it will give you a decent suction for most fine dirt, sawdust etc....dont expect to pick up nuts and bolt or even screws......as the name implies, it is a Dustbuster..............works well at it's intended chores.....battry life is ok but for the amount of money I think it could be a little better.....buy again? Probably....
Worst DustBuster ever - AVOID!!! - TigerDave - Temecula, CA United States
I've owned several B&D DustBuster's in my life including the original from the early 80's. Since that time, overall design, battery performance, and suction has improved -- for the most part. They still all eventually die and therefore require replacement every few years.
Having great success with our impressively powerful 9.6V Dustbuster (model CHV9600, purchased in 2006), we picked up this 7.2V (model CHV7202) for the laundry room since it claims to be a wet/dry vac and I figured 7.2V would be close in performance to the 9.6V.
Boy was I wrong!
From Day One, the suction on this model was so poor, it couldn't even pick up tiny bits of dryer lint on the floor! Our 9.6V model could handle anything you could throw at (as long as the items fit through the opening). But this one? Not even close. To make matters worse, I mounted the charging unit on the wall only to find out that it's quite a challenge to actually "dock" the vac for charging due to it's poor design, so we almost never dock it. In fact, we now bring the 9.6V model upstairs to tackle the tasks that this one failed to do.
In short: I'm not sure who greenlighted this model over at B&D, but they should have been fired. Avoid this one at all costs and get the current 9.6V model (or above). We wanted to return ours, but we made this mistake of tossing out the box.
Pretty good for the money - J. Van Santvoord -
Considering that this is a pretty inexpensive dustbuster, it's not bad. It does blow air out the back when running, which is a little strange because the air blows in your face. And I wouldn't say it's super powerful. But overall it does the job, and sure beats cleaning up my 16 month-old son's messes by hand. :-)
bad design - A. Jain -
I wanted to use it on carpet area in dining room, and in car. It does pick the dust (and other food particles etc), to blow it on my face and distribute fine particles all over the place. Highly disappointed with this product.
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.
Very pleased with this model Dustbuster. - Pottery Queen - northwest georgia
Easy to use. Great suction. A little hard to get back on the charger base.
Looks good, but doesn't work - Heathergoode - Wake Forest, NC
My husband bought me this dustbuster for Christmas after our previous model died. It was a 2003 model and I loved it. This model sorely disappointed. It simply doesn't work.
Powerful and easy - B. Kopetzky -
I've had no trouble with the suction power. The nozzle doesn't clog and it is easy to empty. Charge time is a bit long at 16 hours, but it lasts for a while once fully charged.
Good Deal - P. Larrissey - Cleveland, OH USA
For it's size, it is pretty powerful. Cleaned my car with one charge, use it around the house for touch-up instead of dragging out the vacuum.
Fills the bill - Judith C. Goldie - New Mexico, USA
This little dustbuster is exactly what I need and works even better than the model I had in the '70s.
Don't buy it!!! - S. Mah -
I ordered it because of its raving reviews. I was surprised to find out that this popular vacuum only lasts like 5 minutes. It evens says on the instruction, battery lasts no more than 10 mins. Plus, it doesn't even vacuum that well!!!
