Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster Reviews

I have had several cordless Dust Busters over the past few years and they were either not powerful enough or the charge didn't last for more than five minutes or so.  With two young children and multiple pets, it was imperative that I found a durable and powerful Dust Buster that would last.  I found the Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster at Target for $34.99.  I was skeptical of how well it would work because the price seemed so reasonable.  I was always taught, "You get what you pay for".  I found an exception to the rule!

I've long had a love/hate relationship with Black & Decker DustBusters.  I loved their portability, but always found them underpowered and nasty to to clean.

So, when we were looking to replace our ancient and failing DustBuster DB200, I was inclined to look at several different brands.  For one reason or another, portable vacuums by Euro-Pro, Bissell and Dirt Devil didn't appeal to me.

I have used other cordless handheld vacuum cleaners and this one is the best by far.  It is not heavy, and it has great suction for a long time before cleaning it out.  Keeping it on the charger makes for a good suction every day and it is very simple to empty the dirt.  Comftorble, good looking, and works great!

I live in a small studio apartment, so I am always looking for solutions to keep my place clean, and I am especially concerned about vacuuming and keeping the place free of dust.  I use a large vacuum for my floors, but often times I just need to do a quick pickup and this Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster is great for easy cleanup.  What I love about this vacuum is that it is rechargeable and bagless so it is perfect when I spot some dirt and dust, or need to cleanup something fast.  I like the soft green color and it doesn't have a very loud noise, plus the charge on the...
