Black & Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster

After 3 month of usage I am still impressed with this Dust-Buster. It has plenty of power and is easy to use. I had 3 different units before but this one beats them all. Money well spent. The replacable battery is also a big plus

This is larger and better put together than other handheld vacs I've used. Suction and battery life are really good, and it's easy (and not too messy) to empty out the dirt and clean the filter.

Black & Decker CHV1500 15.6-Volt HEPA Cyclonic DustBuster I have had Black & Decker DustBusters since B&D first started busting dust, and this incarnation, is by far, the most powerful B&D DustBuster yet. It charges up quickly, and that charge lasts a pretty long time. I love plants, and where there are houseplants, there is bound to be spilled soil. Well, my DustBuster just gobbles up anything between it and my wooden floors -- I have to be careful not to get in its way! I am an allergic person, so any vacuum cleaning device that I use, has to have a HEPA filter, and this DustBuster obviously does. A word of advice: when you clean the HEPA filter, wear a protective mask and glasses, so that all the allergens the HEPA filter caught, don't get inhaled or into your eyes. When you buy your DustBuster, I would also buy the extra HEPA filter, that Amazon offers as a combo purchase: you don't want to have to wait days for a replacement. The only flaw this DustBuster has, and it is not an operational one, is that while illustrated in the accompanying instruction manual as "K1," what appears to be an attachment that can connect this DustBuster to the extension tubes of a regular vacuum cleaner, no mention of this accessory is made in the literature. This phantom long handle attachment, would make DustBusting a less back challenging chore. I don't understand: why show an attachment, and not have it for sale it -- someone must have fallen asleep at the Black & Decker helm the day this part of the brochure was written. All in all, this is a great product. A practical gift for the "messy ones" we all know, and especially for the messy ones going off to college, or just -- it's about time -- finally leaving the nest.

I bought this handvac based on the high praise given it by the reviewers on Amazon. It is powerful as described. My only complaint it that I find it somewhat difficult to position in the holder. It always takes a few attempts to click it correctly into place. Otherwise, it's great. My mom turned me on to dustbusters, and I cannot live without one.

This is an extremely great thing to have around! I have a 2 year old son and a cat, who both make lots of messes, the dustbuster takes care of them no sweat. I was pleasantly surprised at the suction power it has. Since buying this unit, it has saved us a huge amount of hassle lugging out the big vacuum cleaner for little messes. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially those with young children, it was well worth the money.
