I saw one of this handheld vacuum hoover in a friend's house and got taken by it when seeing my friend cleaning her toddler mess!. I thought I must have one too!. She advised me in getting one that was branded rather than a cheaper one. Also she mentioned to get a 12V in stead of lower ones eg: 7v, 8v etc... as they weren't powerful enough.
So this one does the job perfectly. It's still very new so I haven't have any problems so far... I keep it on charge at all the times which seems to help. But I think they are meant to be on charge anyway.
I would recommend it! specially if you have small children around.

My V4899 B&D Dustbuster is about 2 years old, and doesn't get an enormous amount of use. Even so, the battery in it is at the stage where it provides full power for maybe 30 seconds and then goes feeble, feebler, feebler and so on.
I discovered that getting the battery replaced was going to cost rather more than getting a replacement unit (when including VAT and P&P etc), because it's an engineers job to replace the batteries which are (I kid you not) soldered to the motor assembly! How environmentally friendly is that? 0 out of 10 for B&D
A further 0 out of 10 for them because, when I contacted them to ask if they DO have a newer product with user replaceable batteries, they replied that they don't! That therefore includes this model too. (BTW you'll find their range of handheld Vacs on their web site just a couple of clicks away from the proud statement from their CEO that says how hugely environmentally friendly their products are). It maybe that their recent merger with Stanley Tools will bring a little 21st century thinking into their designs. Let's hope so.
So anyway, now, I am looking for a Hand vac that has a user-replaceable battery. I'd advise you to do the same, unless you want to be buying again and junking a perfectly good vac, with just a duff battery in a couple of years.
There you go, a cleaner review that hasn't used the word "sucks" - doh!

It is quite large but not overly heavy so easy to manipulate. It has very good suction and a fair capacity dust container. Being 12v it has a good running time ona single charge whcih is useful if using away from a mains supply. It is also quite quiet in operation unlike my previous (and cheaper) version. It is not a replacement for a normal vacuum cleaner but a very useful adjunct.

Poor
I agree with the previous review from alanmusicman. I bought this about two years ago, used it a handful of times and now it's almost dead. Read more

Excellent
Really pleased with this product, it has plenty of suck and power. I thought I may have needed a higher voltage but this is more than adequate. Would highly recommend.

It's a handy little helper. I have a dark wooden flooring in the whole flat and used drive me crazy when I saw a little dirt or crumb. This vac just picks it all up in few seconds. Read more
