Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster 12-Volt Cordless Vacuum
Customer Review: About to buy my 3rd in 2 years but not perfect
Summary: 3 Stars
This little guy is very convenient. It works great after dinner under the table and when people are on the way and will be here in 5 mins. We use ours daily and often 2x per day with 3 small kids but there are some things you should know.
We are on our 3rd one because they break a lot. Our first one had to be taken apart (completely) because some of the electrical contacts were not staying connected. Finally the plastic starts to crack and chip off.
The second one the charger gave out, the plastic again starts breaking, and it is now in our trash can.
I would expect the life expectancy is about a year on these things - which is what we are averaging.
Tips:
- Keep the brushes on all the time even on hard surfaces. Works much better this way.
- Before you start empty the dust tray, make sure it is not clogged and use a knife to cut and pull all the hair and string that gets caught in the roller.
- Monthly I run the plastic top and the filter through the dish washer and then let them dry to clean out all the dust and germs. You can do this in the sink as well.
Anyway - a must have for families and people who don't need to pull out the big vacuum every day.
Description of Black and Decker CFV1200 DustBuster 12-Volt Cordless Vacuum
Black & Decker introduces the innovative DustBuster Cordless Floor Vac ¿ three convenient cordless vacuums in one that provides full room cleaning of carpets, tile and hardwood floors, upholstery and more. Built on the DustBuster heritage of grab n¿ go vacuuming convenience, the DustBuster Cordless Floor Vac is the most powerful cordless vacuum on the market, delivering 12 volts of maximum cleaning power as an upright floor vacuum, full-size hand-held vacuum or a DustBuster hand vac. As an upright floor vacuum, the DustBuster Cordless Floor Vac vacuums both carpeted and hard floor surfaces. With the push of an easy-release button, the DustBuster and 10-inch power brush detaches from the upright handle to become a full-size hand-held vacuum to clean stairs and other small areas. With the push of another easy-release button, the DustBuster detaches from the base of the 10-inch power brush to become a traditional DustBuster hand vac to clean draperies, car interiors and other hard to reach surfaces. A surface selector slide switch maximizes vacuuming performance for both hard and carpeted surfaces. When the switch is in the first position the vacuum turns on and is ready to vacuum hard surfaces. When the switch is in the second position the rotating brush in the power head is activated for cleaning carpeted areas. The DustBuster Cordless Floor Vac offers the added convenience of the Double Action Filter System so that your hands don¿t touch the dirt when emptying. The filter deflects dirt and debris off a primary hard filter into the dirt bowl and captures fine dust in a secondary pleated filter.A versatile unit with cordless convenience, this Black and Decker DustBuster 3-in-1 vacuum is a handy tool around the house and workshop. The machine converts to three different configurations: a full-height floor vacuum, a handheld power brush vacuum, and a compact DustBuster. In each configuration, the vacuum collects dust and debris into a roomy dirt cup, filtering out the smaller particles. Suitable for carpets, hard floors, and upholstery, the 12-volt machine is easy to convert and use. Its connecter switches and power buttons are large and simple, and the 10-inch floor nozzle glides easily. Though not the equal of a full-size vacuum if you have a house full of carpet, the unit is great for kitchens, bathrooms, small hardwood areas, stairs, quick pick-ups, and dry spills. Plus, its cordless power means fast, convenient, unfettered cleaning. The unit comes with a rechargeable battery and a charging unit, as well as a hook for hanging it on the wall. Fully charged (16 hours), the unit runs between 14 and 17 minutes on average. One minor drawback to this model--in its fullest size, the vacuum does not stand up by itself. It is lightweight and maneuverable, however, so this does not present a big problem. In its floor vac shape, the unit stands 42-1/2 inches high. Black and Decker includes a 2-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
