Summary: Awesome
Comment: This product is amazing. I have used it for 2 years with no problems at all... I had to clean up some tile dust and bits and it sucked the dirt very fast. It is a very good product

Customer Rating:

Summary: great cleaner
Comment: This dust buster is easy to use and does a great job picking up the little stuff from the bare floor or from the rug.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Weak suction
Comment: Maybe something is wrong with my vac, but the suction powerful is extremely weak. I can barely pick up human hair... Very disappointed.

Customer Rating:

Summary: early battery failure
Comment: Battery died in just over 2 years. Happens to be just out of warranty. The problem? The charger never shuts off. Standard Nicad's cannot be left on continuous charge. They are not rated for such service. The Nicad's are ruined fast. Do check the current of the ac adapter though. The old ones were 300ma and were killing batteries fast. The new ones are 130ma and seem to last longer. Seemingly 5 years. But remember that nicads when taken care of will last a decade or the life of the machine.

Summary: B&D should be sued
Comment: The CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBuster is supposedly designed to leave on charge, but it has two large NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries. Keeping these batteries always charging causes them to almost die in less than a year. That's when the fun begins.

First of all, I could not get them out. After an hour of frustration it became apparent that they will not come out unless I broke the plastic housing holding them. Both nickel and cadmium are toxic heavy metals. The owner's manual acknowledges this, and that the batteries are not to be disposed of, they are to be recycled. Shame on Black and Decker for designing a product which uses batteries that they know will harm the environment, yet cannot be removed for recycling. This is the stuff class action lawsuits are based on, and B&D has gone out of its way to invite one.

Second, as noted in other reviews, I am unable to get replacement batteries even if I wanted to, without paying almost as much as the vacuum itself. I did find some, but the price was wicked expensive. B&D has built a product based on the marketing principle of "planned obsolescence," meaning the product is designed to be replaced after a relatively short life, instead of repaired. American automobile manufacturers developed the concept in the '60s, refined it to a fine art form in the '70s, and are still paying for their stupidity today. Those firms who do not learn from the past will have to repeat their mistakes until they get it right, or go out of business.
