I've had this vac for awhile and though it is great for cleaning out the car it doesn't work very well when trying to clean anything out of your well traveled carpet or kitchen for that matter. Though you'll experience some success cleaning up after yourself in the kitchen I would buy this exclusively for your car and maybe for some hard to reach areas in your home.

Rather underpowered and, after only two months, the charging station stopped charging the unit. So much for this device - money poured down the drain.

Black & Decker cordless vacuums are great for the kitchen or on bare floors(no carpet)which is what is was intended for. The problem comes after 2 to 3 years when the batteries can no longer hold a full charge, runs down before you are finished. The battery pack cost about $16.00 + shipping. You would be better off buying a new vacuum.

We purchased this to keep in the kitchen by our cat dish to pick up the dry food that got on the floor. That honestly is about all it picks up. It lacks suction and the power runs out on it very quickly, after just a few short term uses. We are already searching for a replacement (not a Black & Decker) as we are just not at all impressed with it's lack of usability and convenience. Definetly not money well spent.

My dust buster is more of a work out routine which includes bending and squating and messing with it, then finally going back to get the broom, or big vaccume. Don't bother with this thing, the older models were great, but someone "improved" on the design and now they well they don't pick up anything!!!!

I bought this Vac to keep near the cat box as my cats appear to actually throw litter onto the floor for fun. Its not very powerful but will get some of the litter. Now I find myself using a broom in-between BIG vaccuming as this doesnt do the job well enough. Buy this if you need an item to put you into the free shipping price category. (its like getting it for free)

I sew and have an eternally shedding cat. Wanted something to make the place more presentable without dragging out the standard vacuum. No problem at all sucking up cat hairs, threads, and dust bunnies. I consider it a good value for the money - got what I paid for.

I recently replaced my old dustbuster (which would no longer hold a charge), with this new one. I bought this unit because it uses the old style (and much cheaper) filters (which I had a few left over). What can I say, it works.

For the price and size of this black and decker, I think that you get exactly what you pay for. I use it instead of a dustpan, for spilled odds and ends, lint on rugs and various other tasks. [It]has more than payed for itself. I think that we have to be reasonable and know that if you are planning on doing some major cleaning, skip this and get out your kirby!

I'm on my third DUSTBUSTER in about 15 years. In the past, I received two washable filters with my purchase. with the latest one, about four months old, there was only one. Big mistake. I inadvertantly threw it away with the dust and now I'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement. Meanwhile, I cut a piece of non woven paper towel and placed it over the motor. Not bad. Necessity is the mother of invention.
