Spilled cereal, tracked in mud, with cordless convenience and plenty of power, the new DustBuster by Black & Decker picks up not only dry spills, but wet spills as well! Keep one in close reach in the house, garage, or shop, and stay on top of spills and tracked in mud. A translucent bowl makes it easy to see when it's time to empty the collection bin. Equipped with a powerful 7.2V motor, this Black & Decker DustBuster is up to just about any cleaning task. A no-mess filter empties clean, with no need to handle dust. A 3-stage filtration system ensures clean exhaust for healthier breathing. Best of all, a stylish blue and white design makes the DustBuster a welcome addition to the kitchen wall or kids' room. It comes with a wall-mountable charging base and 2 on-board tools: a crevice attachment and squeegee for wet cleaning. --Brian Olson

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, even for small spils, March 16, 2006

By	J & A - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black & Decker CHV7250 7.2-Volt Wet/Dry DustBuster (Kitchen)

We live in a carpeted apartment, and we bought this vacuum because spills are inevitable, even if you're careful. Therefore, the idea of having a cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner was quite appealing, as you could in principle vaccum spills at once. However, the B&D Wet/Dry DustBuster proved to be quite useless for this purpose. The dust/water container fills up quite rapidly, becoming full with about 2 fl. oz. of liquid. When the container fills up with water (or wine, or whatever nasty stuff you're vacuuming), the liquid passes through the sponge filter, literally hitting the fan. The outcome: the nasty stuff you're vacuuming sprays in a thin mist all over the place (an you).
Pros: portable, powerful, cordless.
Cons: small dust/liquid container; bad design allows for overfilled liquids to be sprayed.
Botton line: ok for small dust jobs; worse than useless for spills larger than 2 oz.

I'm not using it for big jobs, I have a 2 1/2 year old... and I use it for the occaisonal spill & cleanup and for that purpose alone it's well worth the price I paid.

5.0 out of 5 stars great wet/dry vac--very powerful and handy, January 14, 2006

By	J. Sax - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Black & Decker CHV7250 7.2-Volt Wet/Dry DustBuster (Kitchen)

I like this wet/dry vac becuase of the size-i have a bird,and dogs and a cat and this dustbuster is in constant use--the size is ideal and it is powerful. The combination of having it be able to pick up spills and do it quickly is also helpful. Cleanup and dumping the dirt and liquid is pretty easy to do-just snap off the filter and dump in the nearest trash receptical. I like the recharge power which is good for 20 or so minutes--which is plenty of time before
a recharge is necessary. The 7.2 Volt Wet/Dry DustBuster is proving to be a pretty good machine.
