Best Dustbuster I've Ever Had
Excellent suction, Fine dust is definitely trapped by Hepa Filter.
Heavy, battery not modular
Posted 1 year ago - I needed a replacement for my FOURTH dustbuster which, like its predecessors, would no longer take a charge, so I asked for this Dustbuster as a birthday gift. I have been using the product for about 3 months now and I am VERY pleased with its performance. The suction on this model is stronger than on any dustbuster I've owned in the past and it features both a High and Low speed setting. I'm presuming that the Low setting is meant to reduce "blow-by," but fortunately, since the vacuum exhaust is directed to the rear of the vacuum rather than out the sides, "blow-by" is kept to a minimum. Thankfully, no longer do the dustbunnies flee when I'm using my dustbuster!!! :) The battery's charge lasts much longer than in prior models I've owned, so I'm able to edge clean my kitchen and bathroom and vacuum two flights of stairs without any noticeable change in suction power. The HEPA filter catches very fine dust well, for which my nose is very grateful. The filters are easy to remove but removing the dust from the HEPA filter might require a trip outdoors unless you want some of that fine dust to resettle in your home. I go outdoors to clean out my HEPA filter; I tap the filter against the foundation of my home until no more dust flies out. Apartment dwellers might find this annoying! Then again, I suppose that this would be an issue in any hand-held vacuum with an HEPA filter regardless of make/model. Although I'm quite happy with the vacuum, the product is not without its flaws. These include the comparitively heavy weight of the vacuum, as well as the absence of an onboard storage slot for the uphostery attachment. My major concern however, is the fact that this vacuum is powered by a Ni-Cad battery that is not user replaceable. This means that I may have to buy yet another NEW dustbuster, when the battery pack starts to fail. I would gladly paid a bit more for a more environmentally friendly Dustbuster!
