Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker 4.8-Volt Compact Cordless HandVac, CHV4800
Customer Review: What it should be
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to suck up kitty litter in our bathroom and it's been great. I can use it twice a day for the whole bathroom floor if I want to, and it will stay powered for maybe three to four days. Some buyers have complained about battery life, but you can't use this thing to vacuum your whole carpet. You need a vacuum for that. Also, you have to empty it out or the battery doesn't last as long. Almost every time the battery runs out I empty and recharge it, and it works great again. Easy to clean and use... even the cats let me vacuum them with it!Customer Review: Lousy battery sends it to the landfill fast
Summary: 1 Stars
This nasty little unit is an environmental disaster. Do not buy it.
A convenient product for the 2 years it held a charge, now it's junk. I used mine sparingly and tried to unplug the continuous charger to conserve power.
This thing charges all day, which kills the battery, eats up power, and results in a dead battery in no time. Even worse, the battery is not replaceable.
My replacement was a Shark brand. Works great and I think most or all of their mini vacs have batteries that are replaceable.
Customer Review: It does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
I have three young kids and always have a mess to clean up around the house. Dragging out the full size vacuum every time is a pain so I decided to get a small hand held to take care of the little jobs and this little guy does the trick.
If you fully charge it before the first use and then use it until it runs out of "juice" each time it keeps it's charge better. My kids even love using it. I'll say, "somebody get the the dustbuster" and the next thing I know one of my kids is down there on the floor cleaning up their mess.
Customer Review: Power on switch is too flimsy
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to say I like the look and feel of this rather inexpensive little hand vac (I have it hanging on the wall right out in the open of my kitchen). The big problem however is the very cheap little piece of white plastic which moves the on-off switch slips off of the motor after it is turned on once or twice. I was going to try to screw in a sturdier piece that might stay attached but after seeing the price I'll just by a more expensive model which hopefully won't have this problem. Not being able to turn it on is a very big problem.Customer Review: It works well
Summary: 4 Stars
I just recently bought this dustbuster and I have to say I like it and it does the job. I was expecting the brush to be a bit larger for some reason but it works just fine for small pick ups. I bought it for kitty litter clean up as well as small dust bunnies when I don't want to bring out my full size vacuum. The only thing I don't like is that it can blow dust around while you're trying to pick it up. The power is also good. All in all, for the money, and the Black & Decker name, I am happy with it!
