Black & Decker CHV1568 Bagless Handheld Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: Excellent suction, 15.6 volts equals long lasting, Very small power consumption, AccuREACH extension, Visually appealing.
Cons: Canister release/re-load more difficult than I expected. Crevice tools can be awkward to store.

Note to reader: Epinions lists “Air Watt” rating of “ 27 ” under “view details” tab above and so does Black&Decker product specific webpage, Hmmmm, the product box has something different….. Air watt rating is “ 25 ...

Pros: Handy handling.
Cons: - Repeat charger failure
- Nowhere to store attachments.

I've now owned 2 of these.  In both cases, the charger base stopped charging.

The first one worked great for a few months, then suddenly, when I put it in the charger, the red light wouldn't turn on.  Not knowing what the problem was, I bought a 2nd one to test it.

Sure enough, when I put the old dustbuster in the new charger, it worked fine.

So I wound up with 2 dustbusters, and 1 charger.  No problem.

Now, less than a year later, the 2nd charger base is refusing to charge.

Stupid thing.

DO NOT buy this product, unless you want to just burn your money.
