Product Description

The 14.4 volt cyclonic action cordless dustbuster with AccuREACH offers great suction power due to the cyclonic action. The EZ clean dial cleans the filter when needed to reclaim the suction power. The 1 step empty hands allows for your hands to keep clean being they are not touching the dirt. The CHV1408 features a 3-stage filtration system for clean air exhaust, translucent dust bin for easy disposal of accumulated dust and dirt and a wall mountable charging base for grab and go convenience. The CHV1408 comes with upholstery brush and additional crevice tool.

This review is from: Black & Decker 14.4-Volt Cordless Cyclonic HandVac, CHV1408 (Kitchen)

My 2 Dustbusters are a life-saver. I have had one for years and just bought the CHV1408 to have another around the house. I have 3 cats and a dog and use the Dustbuster every day to clean up spills, fur, or tracked litter. This model is even easier to use since it slides out of the charger smoothly. It has a stronger motor and a larger dirt reservoir than the other models at the same price point. Emptying it is a snap (the other model sticks a bit) and the slide-out suction extender (for lack of a better term) is a nice addition.

I see some of the funniest comments about these.

1- It won't last longer than 10 minutes (If you're vacuuming for 10 minutes then it's not a job for a little dustbuster).

2- It's a mess to empty (who empties a vacuum in their house to begin with? Do it outside!)

3- The filter gets dirty quickly (that's because it's a tiny product to begin with. Any bigger and it wouldn't be a Dustbuster).

Honestly, this is a boring, no frills, does what it should product. Yeah, you have to dump it pretty often. I never use it more than a few minutes but I bet it doesn't last much beyond 10. The construction is good enough but not noteworthy.

Just buy it. Keep it simple, ya' know? Keep the box and receipts if you have a problem. In fact, it's probably best to pay a few extra bucks and buy it locally in case you do have some issue with it.

I have bought many of Black and Decker Dustbusters over the years and this one is also a good product. Has good suction, and easy to use. I have found that the battery last a little over two years and then you need to replace the unit. I found that Wallmart has this product at a better price them I got it.
