Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Nice attractive design, well built.Handy to be cord free especially in the car.
Bad points:: Actual suction is good but amount of work it will do is restricted by the small nozzle aperture.It's tempting to get the 'big machine' out.

Shirley, Faversham, Kent

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: 1. It picks up dead flies and other insects from the ledges in our conservatory, and
2. will even suck up a moving flying insect on both verticle and horizontal surfaces.
3. When it would be impossible to "swat" or spray any flying insect the Dustbuster efficiently does the job of removing them.
Bad points:: 1. Relocating it onto the holder for re-charging is awkward and takes practice untill you've got the knack.
2. The On/Off button is positioned to be operated by the thumb, but I find this impossible, and have to use my other hand to switch on and off. My husband is able to operate this as his hand is bigger and his thumb longer. 3. Similarly, I have to use my whole hand to turn the dust reservoir.
4. It is fairly heavy.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Light weight and well balanced. Suction is best with the crevice tool. Works as expected. Useful tool to have around.
Bad points:: Suction without the crevice tool is a bit marginal, OK for crumbs etc., but failed to pick up cement dust from a car floor mat - the crevice tool got it up without a problem. For the convenience of having no lead to get in the way, it's fine.

Product Features

Shape	Hand held
Type of dust container	Bagless
Bagless vacuum cleaners help you save money on replacement bags but they generally need to be emptied more often and they can be messy to empty. Also be aware that emptying dust canisters without bags can be a hazard for people with dust allergies.
Dust capacity (Litres)	0.7
Amount of dust the machine will take until you need to empty it.
HEPA filter	No
HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and HEPA filters are also known as S-class filters. These reduce the allergy-causing particulates that escape from the vacuum cleaner so are worth getting if you suffer from allergies to things like dust or pet fur.
Noise level (Decibels)	70
Measures how loud the machine is. For quieter machines, look for models with a noise level under 60 decibles.
Variable power	No
Different levels of power are handy to have so that you can use less suction on more delicate surfaces and vice versa.
Cable rewind	No
Automatically rewinds the cable at the push of a button so that you don’t have to spend ages winding it back up.
Fragrance diffusor	No
Gets rid of nasty odours. Especially useful if you have pets.
Type of bagless filter	Cyclonic Filter

Controls in handle	No
Power (W)	20

Release date	2004-06-01
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
