Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Double Action DustBuster cordless vac offers all the extras of previous DustBusters, but with more oomph per feature. The exclusive Double Action DustBuster filter now lasts three times longer, the 13.6-ounce bowl holds 70 percent more dirt and debris, and the unit comes with a crevice tool for reaching into narrow spaces and an upholstery brush for gathering dirt and hair. The extra tools are stored conveniently onboard, making it a whole lot more difficult to lose them in the closet. Like DustBusters of the past, this one charges in a wall-mounted base for grab-and-go convenience. Your dirt won't stand a fighting chance. --Rivers Janssen

1.0 out of 5 stars Great until the charger stopped working, January 10, 2003

This was wonderful - I loved the filter, but then the wall charger stopped working. Yes, I can charge batteries in the charger I happen to have for my cordless drill - but that's not the point. Black and Decker no longer carries replacements, so you are stuck trying to track one down from a service center. The nearest service center is not that near at all (and I live in a major CA city). I tried, without luck. Now that the charger does not work, it is not really that convenient. It is pretty new too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only one complaint..., February 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Black & Decker V7210 7.2-Volt Double Action DustBuster Cordless Vac (Kitchen)

Each time I would use this hand vac when someone was visiting, they would always comment on how strong of a suction this hand vac had. Everyone thought it was so amazing how well it picked up, and I agree. I also never realized how much of a convenience it would be to have the tools right onboard. That is a great feature that most hand vacs do not have. This is my only complaint: I had this hand vac for over two years and then the battery could no longer recharge. At first, I could get 15-20 minutes of vacuuming done at one time. But, slowly, the battery started to lose its ability to recharge until it wouldn't recharge at all. I could not find a replacement battery anywhere so I gave up and decided to get a new hand vac. The ONLY reason I didn't choose this same vacuum again is because I wanted to find a hand vac that had a battery that can be replaced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Information on rechargable batteries, March 26, 2003

This review is from: Black & Decker V7210 7.2-Volt Double Action DustBuster Cordless Vac (Kitchen)

What most people who buy cordless tools don't understand is this: battery life depends on a few things. 1) never leave the battery in the charging cradle full time. Doing so will not do the battery any good. After a full charge, remove the tool. Once a month you should allow the battery to fully discharge prior to recharging. When using the tool, try not (if possible) to run the battery down from a full charge quickly. This heats the battery up. Doing so damages them. Run the tool for a while then let it rest, thus cooling the battery down. Most rechargable batteries can be recharged up to 1000 times. Keep these few tips in mind and your cordless tools will last much longer.
