Amazon.com Product Description

No more having to lug out the big vacuum cleaner to keep the house looking nice from day to day. With its sleek, cordless design, this 14-2/5-volt handheld vacuum cleaner works great for sucking up dirt, dust, pet fur, and dry messes like spilled cereal on the kitchen floor--even nuts and bolts. The unit's cyclonic action keeps dirt off the filter for long-lasting suction power, while its EZ clean dial cleans the filter as needed to maintain efficiency. Even more, the unit's slide-out AccuREACH nozzle makes for easy cleaning in hard-to-reach spaces. Accessories include an additional crevice tool for tight spots and an upholstery brush for furniture, stairs, and tabletops. Providing added convenience, the unit's three-stage filtration system helps ensure cleaner air exhaust, and its 19-ounce removable translucent dust bin empties with one easy step so hands stay clean. One VF08 filter comes included, as well as a charging base that can be wall mounted. The handheld vacuum cleaner measures approximately 17 by 5 by 7 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, excellent updates to the design, February 19, 2009

By	BookGirl - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's come to this: Reviewing a Dustbuster, June 26, 2009

By	R. Harris "Full of it" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black and Decker CHV 1408, December 12, 2008

By	Darryl Pecoraro (Alpine, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
