Strengths: Hangs on wall - no clumsy base

Weaknesses: none for me

Summary: Can't say enough good things about this dust buster.I bought it because it doesn't have a clumsy base to deal with. It hangs neatly on a wall hook (comes with the unit) and doesn't take up any floor space. I use it primarily to pick up cat litter around the litter box and it does a fantastic job. I am very happy with this dust buster -highly recommend.

Strengths: Small, light, quiet and powerful, cheap

Weaknesses: Long charging time

Summary: This unit is small yet powerful. It is well made and is highly portable. It is well made and is surprising very quiet. The only downside is that it takes a long time to charge and the charge lasts only a short time. However, at ten bucks it is a great bargain. Highly recommended

Time with product: 1 Days

Strengths: quick charge system, powerful motor, quiet, small form factor, 2 year warranty

Weaknesses: charge could last a bit longer

Summary: Hard to believe, my old trusty dustbuster still worked after 12 years, but it was not holding a charge well, and frankly didn't look too great anymore, and so it was time for a replacement. I guess I got my money's worth. This new offering from Black & Decker is much smaller and lighter than the vintage model, but seems much more powerful. On the current model, there is no wall base like the old one had, just a fancy hook. But that also means that your money is better spent on a quality vacuum, not the holder / base. I expect to get another 12 years on this product, if made as well as the original!

Strengths: Lightweight, portable, very effective and cheap. Easy to use and reaches nook and corner.

Weaknesses: Short battery life, very long charging time and exhaust.

Summary: This is a cute little product used in home and car for small jobs. The Ni-Cad battery takes around 14 hrs to charge and get only 15 minutes of strong suction per charge but it does its job well by picking light debris. This is my first dustbuster and so far I am satisfied with its performance. I definetly recommend for everyone interested.

Time with product:

Strengths: low price, lightweight, low noise, easy to use

Weaknesses: not powerful enough

Summary: This vacuum is small and light weight so it's not for heavy jobs. It can only use for some small jobs. I use it mainly to pick up some spills and hair. It is really easy to use and won't make much noise. Like other members said, the battery doesn't last long. But since I only paid for less than $10 I would say it certainly worth the money.
