Amazon.com Review

Perfect for home, car, boat, or motor home, this cordless hand vacuum mounts conveniently in its recharging base either on a wall or on a horizontal surface--or the charging base doesn't need to be mounted at all, and the vacuum can be moved from place to place attached to the base. A crevice tool for hard-to-reach areas and a brush for upholstery store in the vacuum. The bagless vacuum has a dirt cup with a filter that snaps off the power housing for emptying. The filter is Black & Decker's improved double-action type, which has three times the surface of previous DustBuster filters. It's washable and replaceable. Equipped with a 4.8-volt battery, the vacuum runs 10 minutes without needing recharging. It measures 16 inches long and 4-3/4 inches wide and carries a two-year warranty against defects. Wall anchors and screws for mounting are included. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk, May 4, 2003

This review is from: Black & Decker V4800 DustBuster 4.8-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum (Kitchen)

I join the chorus of those who say this is just a terrible piece of goods. Very, very poor battery performance. Despite following "rules" such as allowing it to run down completely, not leaving on charging all the time, Etc. it still fails to take and hold a full charge. Runs at low power for only very short time. Not worth buying, not worth replacing batteries, not worth having one !

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Dirt It Supposedly Picks-up, October 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Black & Decker V4800 DustBuster 4.8-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum (Kitchen)

I've had the DustBuster for less than a year and have used it for light clean-up in my kitchen. The blower on the unit actually blows the dirt away, so I end-up having to chase after it.

My biggest complaint, however, is that after 6 months of relatively infrequent use, the unit only ran for about 45 seconds. Now it doesn't run at all, because the battery has to be replaced, and I precisely followed the directions regarding proper battery care in order to prolong the life of the battery.

Please save your money and just use a broom or a more reliable shop-vac. The battery performance in this unit has been extremely disappointing.

This vacuum is ok for small clean ups, but not the best. It is not avery reliable product. Received this vacuum as a gift 12/25/ 99. After a year and half, the battery had to be replaced. Now six months later in Jan 2003, it is not working. It only runs less than a half minute. It was not used that extensively. I wll not spend the money to check for repair or replace the battery.
