Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This Black & Decker 6.6 amp vacuum easily converts between upright and hand use with a quick release of the handle by hand or foot. Take care of entire rooms in a jiffy in the upright position, then switch to the handheld mode to touch up stairs and upholstery. The flexible hose, crevice tool, and dusting brush aid in cleaning small or hard-to-reach places. Dirt and dust are gathered in a dirt bowl, so no bag is required. The unit carries a full two-year warranty. --Maile Bohlmann

2.0 out of 5 stars Black & Decker DirtBuster: filters, May 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Black & Decker DirtBuster Corded Floor and Handheld Vacuum (Kitchen)

Satisfaction with this product is quite good, until it comes to the problem of locating the filters that fit in the dust bin. I have tried all locations: Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond. None of them carry the filter, only the vac. Even the Black & Decker website offers no help. Can anyone tell me where to purchase the oblong filter encase in plastic? Help!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great secondary!, February 5, 2004

This vac is not intended to be your primary vacuum. It is light weight and easy to handle. I bought it for my children to use, to help out around the house. They love it. I use it for small jobs. The canister is very easy to empty and not messy at all, in my opinion. I think it's great! I don't know how much it costs new. I bought mine from a thrift store, but it looked brand new. I probably wouldn't spend over $40.00 on it new.

This vacuum cleaner is the reason I am on-line right now - It's so bad that I'm looking for another one. The parts are cheap and it can't handle more than two rooms at a time. When you empty the canister, dust gets EVERYWHERE. This has been an awful vacuum cleaner. I have tried new filters, pulling hair out of the brush, and emptying it after each room. It still won't pick up pieces of fuzz from my carpet. But it does pick up dust, so at least it does something right. You're better off looking elsewhere if you don't want to be disappointed!
