Customer Reviews

Does the job alright, but know its limitations.
We've all known dustbusters since at least the 1980's. Wall-mounted cordless things that look a little like a spaceship, useful for sucking up crumbs and pet hair. What more do you need to know?

Well I would suggest that you should know exactly what the dustbuster is and is not capable of. First of all, despite the revolution of microchips, laser beams, genetic engineering etc. of the 21st century, the design of the dustbuster remains essentially unchanged.

This model features a "cyclone" as spotted on Dyson hoovers and the like but I certainly don't notice any incredible gain in suction as a result of this. If you're expecting it to have the same suction as your plug-in vaccum cleaner, you will be disappointed. Where the dustbuster functions best is crumbs, dust, cat litter, that kind of thing.

Yes it can pick up cat hair from the sofa but in my experience with the hair generated by two short haired cats you need to have the brush attachment on to do this and it involves a bit of elbow work. Really it's the brush doing most of the effort, the suction bit just disposes of the hair when you manually pluck it. Now for me this is still less hassle than getting the hoover out, plugging in the hose, putting the right nozzle on, hoovering, and then putting it all away again. The dustbuster encourages me to clean less, but more frequently.

This model is the highest voltage of those available, you certainly wouldn't want anything less as it doesn't feel all that powerful.

Excellent, but at a price!
Excellent little vacuum cleaner. Recommended in Which? magazine, and sure enough has lived upto its reputation. I was initially worried about the battery life, but that hasn't really been a problem! I recharge it whenever I remember - which is not very often - but there is nearly always enough juice in it for the 2-second clean-up jobs that I need it for! Light, effective, handy on-board attachments, very easy to clean, and sits pretty in the corner until you need it. The only reason I am ducking a star is the price!! My advice, look for something cheaper as there must be vacuum cleaners out there just as good but at a half the price!!

Handy to have around!
I bought this so that my children would be able to vacuum up their mess without having to carry the big cleaner upstairs. It does the small job brilliantly. Personally I wouldn't expect it to do everything, I use mine to clear dust off my desk, to do the stairs, to pick up anything I've dropped on the laminate floor and any other small jobs where it just isn't as easy to go and get the big cleaner.

It sucks up things fairly well, but I don't expect it to get all the dog hairs out as that needs some better suction but it does all the jobs I need it to do.
