Best Dustbuster Ever!,
Our old dustbuster gave up the ghost. So I ordered a new one. It was a disaster! It had a little brush right by the opening, making it impossible to push the dustbuster both ways! I returned it and was seriously discouraged.
Then I purchased this model. My daughter: “You didn’t just buy A dustbuster! You bought THE dustbuster!”
It is awesome. The suction power is fantastic. It is lightweight and moves easily. It has held a charge for two or three weeks despite the fact that it’s being used AND hasn’t been plugged in! (A neighbor is going to put it up on the wall for me, but right now the old dustbuster setup is still in that spot.)
The one drawback is that it requires three hands to empty. Instead of just snapping the two main parts apart, you have to also pull out the filter because whatever you dustbusted up is on the other side of it.
But that’s a minor issue. If you are looking for a classic dustbuster, you will be very happy with this model.

Lots of power!! Have to plug in for charging!,
I had an older model Dustbuster for many years; at least 10years and I loved it. When it expired, I replaced it with a Dirt Devil that was adequate, but wasn’t nearly as powerful, and lasted less than four years doing the same job. I bought this one as a replacement and am pleased with its power. I use it for a quick run around to pick up cat litter in the bathroom and loose pet hair; to dust around a large kitchen, dining room and living room. It does a nice job with lots of power for the duration I need it.
The wall hanger is not hooked up to the charger plug, as with its predecessor and the Dirt Devil. With this one, the wall hanger is one separate piece. You place the hanger on the wall, run a bit of section of the cord through it, hang the hand vac on it, then plug the end of the cord into the vac. Not ideal, but it does save wear and tear on the wall hanger, so it is acceptable to me.
Clean up is a breeze. Take the two pieces apart, empty the filter and you’re all set to go again.
The instructions tell you that the first time you use it, discharge it completely in order for the battery to recharge fully and quicker from then on. It is true. The first time I used this, the first few minutes of power were strong and steady then it dwindled down to nothing. I let it run until it discharged completely, then let it charge for a full 24 hours before reusing and the powerful charge lasts for at least 15 minutes. I haven’t run out of power yet while using it.
A word of warning, when I bought this vac, Amazon listed a filter as being compatible, but it wasn’t and I had to return it. Get the vac first, then wait until you need the filter in order to get the correct one. The manual says the normal life of the filter is 6 to 9 months use.

Love it,
I was a bit worried reading though all the reviews for different vacuums and really wanted to pick a good one. I love this one and couldn’t be happier! Very strong, holds a good charge, although I usually plug it back in when I’m done, but it seems to work just as well through several uses without recharging. I use it mainly to pick up hair, which its great for, as theres no spinning brush or anything for it to get caught in. Easy clean up, things do get stuck at the very bottom or randomly fall through holes at the top of the basket (only exposed when you are opening the basket to empty it), but the filter can be washed and cleaned out for long use. Would definitely recommend!
