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 dustbuster lasts a long time, so that I can do an entire room. The dustbuster is lightweight and the perfect solution for getting my room cleaned. It picks up tiny particles you can see as well as all the dust and dirt you can't see. I use this on my carpets, chairs and sofas and it easily picks up crumbs, hair and other objects that make your room look messy. I found this on sale for around...

RudiXeno says "Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster: Finally!" about Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster

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.

Then I spotted the Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster. It had a substantial look to it. I was impressed immediately to learn that it was powered by a 14.4V battery.

More Power, More Run-Time

By the time we were replacing our older unit, its run-time was no more than 5 - 6 minutes. This new DustBuster claimed that fully charged it would provide 15 minutes of continuous run-time. That seemed more than adequate to me for routine use around the house.

But what really got my attention was its relative suction power. Measured in air watts, the new model was rated at 25, while our...

ChillysMom says "B&D DustBuster: Perfect if you have pets on hardwoods or tile!" about Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster

The Black & Decker DustBuster has immensly improved over the years. Remember the first ones? No suction and the batteries didn't last long. A waste of money. However! I've found that the latest DB model with 14.4 volts of cleaning suction power is the most convenient way to quickly clean your floors or anywhere you have crumbs, dirt or pet hair. Notice I did not say it would pick up whole cookies, candy wrappers, marbles, or other items that the big vacuum can get. I have two German Shedders and a fluffy cat. I keep a Dust Buster on every floor of my 3 story town home for convenience. One cleans up tracked in dirt, leaves and dead lizards (courtesy fo the cat) on the first floor; one picks up pet hair on the hardwoods on the second floor; and the third DB picks up my hair and cat litter on the tile in the 3rd floor bathroom. It's easy, fast, inexpensive and light weight. I seriously can't live without my DustBusters. Once a month I take the cone...

The Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBusteris very powerful for a cordless vacuum. I have had several brands over the years but the best I have ever had were dustbusters. Very effective, especially with pet hair. Easy to clean. Undoubtedly the strongest hand held vacuum around!...

kserafin says "It is the best hand held vacuum I've ever used." about Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster

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!

LaurieM says "Great price, great power and great perks ... I'll take it! " about Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster

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!

The Facts

This sleek machine picks up dry debris using 14.4 volts of cleaning power. It includes a 7.2 v rechargeable battery and has a unique filter cleaning wheel that allows you to clean the filter without getting your hands dirty, thus increasing the power by 30 percent every time it is refreshed. And since dirt doesn't stick to the filter, it cleans better longer.

My Experience

When I got this Dust Buster home and out...
