Don't buy this vacuum - Buy CHV1400 or CHV1500 instead!
Don't buy this! There's a better one to buy. We owned two Dustbuster CHV1400 14.4 volt for years. They work well but we finally wore the batteries out. So, we bought two of these 15.6 volt Cyclonic CHV1568 Dustbusters two months ago. They have a design flaw that makes them not NEAR as good as the CHV1400. I'm on Amazon tonight to buy two CHV1400, because they work FAR better than the CHV1568. Here's the flaw. In the CHV1568, the filter gets CLOGGED ALL THE TIME. The moment it gets clogged, the suction gets weak. We use these twice a day and we have to clean the filter every day. It's a mess, has to be done outside because dust gets everywhere. But, if you don't, they lose most of the suction. The filter is slightly different than the filter in the CHV1400. In the CHV1400, the filter doesn't get filled nearly as often, and when it does, there is still a reasonable amount of suction. Also, there's another defect. The CHV1568 has a fairly wide mouth but inside, that mouth narrows. That gets clogged up too, with pieces of paper, all kinds of things. In summary, I'm on Amazon tonight buying two new Dustbusters to replace the CHV1568s. I'll either get the CHV1400, or I may try the CHV1500. After being so satisfied for years with the CHV1400, I'm getting rid of these two CHV1568s.
