 Great bit of kit July 2, 2008

My wife now uses this as her main hoover - I still have to use the Dyson. It is a very good vacuum cleaner. We did have a battery dustbuster, but after about 18 months the charge was only lasting about 10 second, literally ! So I decided to get a mains version and I do not regret it.

I have 17 parakeets in my flat, and I hate having to drag out the goddam corded big hoover to clean up seeds and feathers all the time. This Dustbuster really does a good job in sucking up all the mess (suckie, suckie- Full Metal jacket style), although like another reviewer said, I have to be careful what direction I face the exhaust. The crevice tool is stored onboard so it doesn't get lost, and just the right size for cleaning out sliding door tracks (every other vacuum attachment I've tried is just a little too big to actually fit into the groove). They need to figure out a way to store the little upholstery brush onboard, too.
The filter really does seem to keep dust from flying around. I ordered a replacement from Amazon to have it on hand, but I haven't needed to use it yet. This vacuum's easy to empty, and designed well so when you put it nose-down in its charger, stuff doesn't fall out like it did with older models.
Fantastic mini vac February 22, 2008

I initially bought the Black & Decker Mini Vac for cleaning the car, other 'Dust Busters' have proved useless, but this had it clean in second. So far I've also used it for cleaning the sofas, stairs and bathroom floor with great success. The range of attachments is great and the suction power is immense...
I can't recommend this product enough, its fantastic...
Don't waste your time on rechargeable vacuums... July 26, 2007

I set out to buy a rechargeable but having found their suction to be really quite poor I was pleased I came across this little beauty. It is a true powerhouse as far as suction is concerned and is very solidly made. It has no batteries to run out after a mere 5-6 minutes (in the case of the new Dyson), either! You'll be surprised just how very powerful it is and yet it's so compact and easy to store. It will certainly be used for far more than what I intended - cleaning up small spills (which is as much as rechargeables can manage). It's entirely fine for larger jobs - stairs, for example. The powerful blower function is a surprise extra - I can imagine it will be excellent for various jobs I hadn't even considered for it.
It's very easy indeed to empty and keep the filters clean so maintenance is going to be a cinch. The mains lead is usefully long (6m) and easily, quickly and neatly wraps around the base of the unit, which can then be stored like an iron on its end (it's not much bigger than a steam iron, in fact).
Frankly at the price, it's superb value for money. The only negative I can imagine is having a lead attached but as it wraps so easily around the machine, which itself is so very compact, I can't imagine this will prove a problem.
Wow! June 10, 2007

What a great piece of kit. We were amazed how powerful this little devil is, what's more it inflated a double mattress in less than 5 minutes. Highly recommended.
