Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster 12-Volt Cordless Vacuum
Customer Review: Up there with peanut butter!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the greatest little vac that I have ever had, I own an Oreck upright, a GE electric broom, a Hoover tank , and a Rhoomba, and this little one out does every one on these and is a lot smaller and easier to handle. I bought for $39.00 in Souderton PA Outlet Store,after my sister in law and I were kidding around and started vaccumning the store floor, It worked like a charm. So I got one for my son who has a golden retriever who lives inside with all his hair!!, it did such a great job on carpet, stairs and floor, I went back and purchased one for myself to bring home to Georgia. This little vac and peanut butter will keep me going for years. You want regret this purchase. This one is a keeper.Customer Review: Cordless vacuum

The main problem with this vacuum is the weak suction and old-type of battery. It still uses the old Ni-Cad battery which not only holds less charge but has a memory and does not last as long as the newer batteries.
To maintain any decent suction you have to empty the canister frequently. I got this for picking up scattered litter from the cat-litter boxes and it's just marginal at that. The main plus is the light weight, but don't expect it to do the job a plug-in vacuum cleaner.
As an addendum after having this vacuum for almost 3 years: to maintain suction you not only have to empty the canister, but have to clean and change the filter frequently.
Customer Review: Cordless Vacuum
Summary: 3 Stars
After a very few minutes of the first use of the cordless vacuum it quit. I suspected the battery contacts might be insecure, adjusted them and operation resumed. This is a typical problem for Black & Decker cordless appliances, so I tried that first. The vacuum works well--picks up dog hair and other bits of debris. The battery pack often loses contact but wacking the case on the side reseats the connecion. Endurance of the charge is good, but emptying the dust cup requires removing the hand-held part from the floor unit to get to the cup--and the catch holding the hand-held unit in the floor unit is flaky. All in all, the vacuum is satisfactorily useful.Customer Review: Great Value

I purchased this little vaccum about 3 months ago and I am so in love with it.. I am so pleased with its performance.. It is not a big vaccum cleaner but for a cordless it is marvelous. I really like the beaterbar and the suction is good. The charge time is also sufficient. Its great for a quick pick up in the kitchen and family room. It is so easy to use. My 6 year old grandson loves to use it. Its easy to clean and easy to take apart. And the price was great too. The only problem I see with this one is that it does not stand on its own but it does come with a hanger. I researched cordless vaccums before I ordered this one. Feedback and reviews really helped.Customer Review: Meets all my expectations.

Having used this DustBuster combo for two weeks, I am very happy with it's performance. Our home is a single story with ceramic tile and hardwood floors throughout. We also have several area rugs, some with fringe. The vacuum works perfectly on all three surface types. I use it for quick pickups of crumbs, cat hair and litter (with the brush feature on). It is very flexible and a great companion for Swiffer floor dusting which won't pick up some heavier stuff. I also like that it allows me to clean our smallest area rugs and to pull carpet fringes into place without sucking the them into the vac. The battery life is long enough to do the entire house.
