My last Dusbuster stopped holding a charge (as they do), so it was time for a replacement. I usually go for the lowest-priced model (since I seem to have to replace them anyway every 5-6 years), but for some reason this midrange model was priced competitively with the base models, so I figured I’d give it a shot. Overall, it does the job. I’m not exactly sure what the purpose of the two levels of suction is, and it’s a little annoying when you have to tap the button twice to turn it off from the lower suction level. The biggest issue I have with Dusbuster is that each new model comes with a new charger that requires me to put new holes in my wall to mount. I really wish B&D would come up with a charging standard (or at least a charger mount with holes in the same places!) so I don’t have to drill new holes every few years.
The battery life of the new device is great — it’s lasted as long as I’ve needed it so far. We’ll see how long that continues as they device ages (that seems to be the big question with Dusbusters). The suction is good (even on the lower setting). As someone who has long relied on a Dusbuster to do regular spot vacuuming around the house for decades, this one does the job as well as any I’ve had.

It is as advertised

I was impressed at how well the Dustbuster worked not having used one since the original. It provided good suction and is great for cleaning out my car. The one draw back is the battery life; I was surprised at how quickly the battery lost its charge. So it’s good for quick short jobs.

Pros.. Longer nozzle for easier reach, good battery life, ergonomic charging station, 2 speed, easy to empty, washable filter, battery life indicator.
Cons.. no additional brush attachments.

I purchased this B+D Cordless Handheld Vacuum to replace an older model B+D that finally died (had it almost 15yrs). This handheld is great so far. It has excellent suction, especially with 2 speeds, is lightweight, and the on board extendable crevice tool is a bonus.
I don’t know how long it runs on a full charge, but I’ve used it for approximately 15-20 mins and it didn’t loose suction or sound like it was losing power. The only minor thing I would change about the design is the placement of the button to open the dustbin. When placing the vacuum on the charging base, if you’re not careful, it will bump the button and the dust bin will open.
I almost didn’t purchase the vacuum because of reviews on here with complaints about how the noise level will hurt my ears. I don’t find the noise level to be earth shattering or any louder than expected. The noise level on the product page is listed as 70dB, which is equal to, or less noisy than other competitive brand handhelds I was looking at before making this purchase. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Bajo peso, lÃneas redondeadas, depósito de 3/4 lt y dos velocidades de operación. La potencia no es su cualidad pero cumple su función en el auto, rincones estrechos y de difÃcil acceso. Llega antes de la fecha estimada. Motor silencioso.

Black and Decker exists since the dawn of times.
I used a 2nd generation of a portable vacuum cleaner and it work perfectly. 2 years later, the battery started to get weaker. Time to buy a new one. I notice lots of unknown brands with 4 to 5 stars rated portable vacuums but, after reading and searching all the comments, most of them have 50/50 rated pourcentage. I checked the battery power and noticed it had to be at least 15 volt.
This model has 20 volt and works perfectly. The vacuum is light and easy to handle. The suction power is strong and has 2 power level. The only thing missing is a brushed nosil to add on to be able to do the job 100%.

High power, good battery life, easy cleaning. And I’m picky about products. No regrets except a small one: It is designed to park on a charger bracket and I’m out of wall space. If it did USB C-PD as a charger source instead, I’d be in love. But very little actually does, yet.

I owned (what I thought was) an identical Black and Decker cordless handheld vacuum cleaner for about ten years. Its suction was great, the product was lightweight, and the dust collector was simple to dump out and clean. My only complaint was the bizarre power switch that requires two button presses to turn off, if the high-power mode is not needed for that particular cleanup. Should have been designed with a sliding power switch: center = off, bottom = regular power mode, up = high power mode. After literally hundreds of recharges, the battery finally stopped being able to recharge. I had gotten my money’s worth, so the plan was to order an identical one.
I ordered this one being that it appeared the same on the product page. There are distinct differences that I must report.
It is a requirement of the new product that the wall mount cradle is hung and the vacuum mounted into it for battery recharges. My old one did not needs its wall mount cradle for this because the recharging cord plugged into the front of the product using a small adapter. See the photo. For the old one, I discarded the wall mount cradle as soon as the box arrived because inside the under-sink cabinet where I keep it, there is no need for a wall mount cradle. The old unit simply rested on its base, and the charging cord was plugged into the front.
The new unit requires that it is positioned within the wall mount cradle in order to recharge. There is no adapter port in the product’s front, like the old unit had. Cannot just rest the cradle on the cabinet floor because lifting out the vacuum requires holding onto the cradle. A bad design, not to give consumers a choice in this regard. So I had to mount the cradle onto the side wall of my under-sink cabinet, to hold it steady for when the vacuum was inserted or removed.
Black and Decker provided two screws but astonishingly, they are the old-fashioned slotted variety that require a flat-tipped screwdriver. Everybody uses philips head screws home installations such as this, and the corresponding screwdrivers. Philips head screws are easier to use. Luckily for me, I have a box of screws of different diameters and lengths. I found two philips head screws that were perfect for mounting the cradle. See the photos.
The next issue was the power plug. While it doesn’t bother me because in my installation the plus is hidden from view (see photos), most people would have to plug it into a standard wall outlet. See how far it protrudes from the wall? Terrible design. The power cord should have terminated in a flat plug that is nearly flush against the wall. The AC converter component could be positioned within the cradle rather than as part of the plug. While a skilled handyperson could probably disassemble the cradle and conjure up this improvement, 99.99% of people don’t have the required skills and tools (for example, a soldering iron). So we rely on the manufacturers to design and product products that are easy to use with flattering designs.
Protruding plugs, the necessity to mount the cradle into a wall, the lack of a small circular front opening to insert the charging cord, slotted screws, and a bizarre power control, could all have been corrected by the Black and Decker design team before manufacturing this disappointing replacement to my previous excellent vacuum (excellent, except for the power control flaw).
