Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker CHV1688-E 16-4/5-Volt Cyclonic-Action Cordless HEPA DustBuster with AccuREACH

Customer Review: An Outstanding Tool
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an outstanding tool. I use it primarily for cleaning my pair of Roomba 560s.

The first stage filter is brilliantly designed to concentrate trapped debris in one area so as to maximize the air flow through that first stage filter. This maximizes the time between cleanings while minimizing the reduction in suction. It also makes for easier cleaning.

I recommend using a HEPA grade vacuum cleaner to clean this HEPA grade DustBuster. I use the Kenmore Progressive [bagged] Upright Vacuum with Inteli-Clean System (Model 35922). That vacuum has a 17' stretch hose with a 5:1 extension ratio and exceptional hose tools. In fact, the crevice tool could hardly have been better designed for cleaning the HEPA filter used by this DustBuster.

But, for removing deeply embedded dirt -- especially in a badly neglected Berber carpet -- I recommend any Hoover with the patented WindTunnel feature and the Embedded Dirt Finder feature. For that task, I use the Hoover Anniversary WindTunnel Bagless Upright (model U5786900). On the downside, the hose and tools on the Hoover do not compare well to the Kenmore. Hence, the pair of uprights. And, the bagged Kenmore makes it convenient to more thoroughly clean the HEPA filter on the bagless Hoover.

With these 5 tools -- and a pair of HyperHEPA air purifiers from IQ Air, this allergy prone lifelong bachelor is finally keeping a cleaner home and enjoying MUCH better health!

P.S.) The reviewer who complained about cat food falling back out the front is probably just trying to pick up debris which is larger than the opening to the first stage filter area. Some handheld vacs may be better suited to this task. But, they probably won't be HEPA rated. Then again, if you need a HEPA rated DustBuster, why would you own a cat?
