Black and Decker Dustbuster

The Black and Decker Dustbuster has been a popular handheld vacuum cleaner for many years. It was first introduced in 1979 and over one million cleaners were sold in the first year. The vacuum cleaner became wildly popular due to the fact that it was the first portable handheld unit of its kind to be cordless. Due to the worldwide popularity of the unit, the product name Dustbuster is now usually used as the generally accepted term for any handheld vacuum cleaner.

The basic principle of the Dustbuster has not changed much since it was first designed. The unit is charged through a base station or removable charging plug. These stations can be easily and conveniently mounted on the wall if desired. The unit uses a simple motor to provide suction from the nozzle to lift up dirt and pet hair from the floor or furniture. There is a reusable air filter inside the unit and the dirt is stored in a collection area and is easily dumped out and cleaned out after being used.

There have been a few innovations over the years, and there are a number of different models to choose from. There is a wet and dry handheld vacuum that gives the user the ability to pick up most any mess. This unit does not have a bag inside, so clean up is extremely easy. An included crevice tool and squeegee makes cleaning wet areas and hard to reach places quite simple.

For more serious handheld cleaning, there is a 15.6 volt Dustbuster that boasts cyclonic action to give the unit more continuous suction and will not lose its power over time. It comes with a long nozzle that gives the user a decent amount of reach. Tools and accessories are stored on board, so there is no searching for the right tool. They are always right there with the unit. The nozzle itself has a wide mouth design that is great for picking up large debris.

No matter what model is chosen, a Black and Decker Dustbuster will be a handy and regularly used tool in any home.
