 great little vac |
| Review Date: January 27, 2009 |
| Reviewer: A. G. W. Esq, Harvard, MA USA |
| I bought this about a month ago, to use mostly to clean out the crumbs that tend to accumulate in my car and it has exceeded my expectations. It is a bit loud as it is much more powerful than ones I have had previously. I have not had one of these in many years because they never worked well in the past, but I broke down and bought one because I was tired of pulling out the big vac to use in the car. The end of this extends out about 9 inches, good for getting into those cracks where the seat meets the back. It also works well picking up floor and counter crumbs. I am very pleased with it and have recommended it to friends. |
Picks up cat litter and hair!

| I read a lot of reviews before settling on this model. I love it. It picks up cat litter and my long hair off the bathroom floor and even picks up cat hair balls off the carpet! |

Excellent small cordless vac

| Reviewer: A. Cascorbi, Portland, Oregon |
| I have an older cordless Dustbuster HEPA that I keep in my kitchen. It has given me two years of trouble-free service, great for picking up small messes. It was so much better than my first cordless hand-vac, which was a Rigid. We got a new cat, and I wanted another Dustbuster to use around the cat box. The older model is no longer produced, so I bought the CHV1688-E. I like this newer model so much that I ended up getting TWO of them! Now I keep one Dustbuster in the kitchen, one in the garage, and one in the basement. This is a powerful small handheld vac; the HEPA function is great for containing dust, and this new one has a sleeker "nose" that gets into corners even better than the previous model. The battery holds its charge very well. Highly recommended. |
An Outstanding Tool
|
| Review Date: May 30, 2009 |

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? |
