Black&Decker PV 1405 N Dustbuster Pivot NOSE

pivoting nozzle, does charge a little quicker than it states

charge runs down pretty quickly

long lasting, powerfull, compact

none

Very good at picking things up - as good as a standard vacuum cleaner. Also, holds it's charge for a ling time.

Quite heavy, but that's what you get for all that suction. Charging base gets warm if left on continuously.

Very Efficient vacuum action

Needs cleaning a bit too often Very heavy to handle

I had a dustbuster years ago and felt it was a complete waste of space. This handheld cleaner doesn't replace a vacuum cleaner but is really great for small messes. With 2 children under 2, I find it fabulous.

Powerful suction, good battery life

Filter does clog up quite quickly and it is messy to clean it

It's very powerful and runs for longer than most other handhelds. This allows plenty of time to clean all of the stairs which I find very convenient. It's extremely handy for cleaning up all around the house.
