Cons: doesn't replace regular vacuum

I have my mother's cleaning genes. If it's dusty - dust it. If it's grimy - wash it. If it's crummy - bust it. Yes, "bust it". No, not some rap slang but a reference to the ever-present DustBuster and its use in a crummy house.

Pros: Looks good. well made. worked alright in beginning.
Cons: Battery Croaked after 1 year.

My previous Dust Buster has worked fine for over 7 years and is a superb product.
Well after my experience with the B&D can opener I vowed not to buy another B&D product.
But when buying a Dust Buster what brand springs to mind “Black and Decker”. Well I chose this one about a year ago it looked good and after charging seemed powerful enough but didn’t ever seem to have the vroom of my old one, which is smaller.
After a year it only goes for about 30 seconds before it runs flat Maybe I got a dud battery I don’t know but Patently obvious that the quality of this companies products has really gone downhill.
Well constructed and is attractive but 1 year and I must spend dollars on a new battery I don’t think so.
Can’t face speaking to a B&D customer rep after the can opener fiasco.
