My Dustbuster, the 14.4V model, just died. It never worked as well as B&D's older models so I'm not sorry to see it go, but I need a replacement and the number of hand vacs has proliferated so much that it's hard to choose. I just need it for little cleanup jobs, including bird feathers and seeds, and I have arthritis in my wrists so it has to be fairly light and easy to hold. I don't mind paying for a Dyson if its performance and longevity merit the cash. Anybody have a model they'd like to recommend?
