What's great about it: Easy to use and store. Good performer.
What's not so great: Battery life.
Small, handy, and effective. Does what it is supposed to do. Good value. A piece of advice: always check that you have a good battery when you buy it. The battery is the weakest link as some battery manufacturers provide an inferior product.
This product is or has... Convenient to store, Cordless, Easy to charge, Good for cleaning the car
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Lots of power, easy to empty
What's not so great: Improper charging toasts the battery and the charger. Battery didn't last long, parts are expensive.
I purchased one about a year ago, it worked great, lots of power. My wife tends to leave the battery plugged in and forget about it when it needs charged ... toasted the battery and the charger. Replacement battery and charger is more expensive that a new unit. I plan to buy another one just like it and insure that she doesn't abuse the battery.
This product is or has... Convenient to store, Cordless, Easy to charge, Good for cleaning the car, Enough suction that a single-pass does the job
About me... Always get the deal, Brand conscious, All about design
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: the color
What's not so great: everything -- -- lousy piece of equipment
I tried to buy the most expensive Dustbuster I could find, and this was it. It's nothing special, not an improvement over an older model I had, and really quite a disappointment in power and functionality. I would not recommend this to anyone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Classic design, good endurance, good power, interchangable battery pacs.
What's not so great: Wish the nose piece was clear so you could see when you need to dump the dirt.
Much more Powerful & better endurance than Hoover's very expensive lithium ion vac. Just slighly less powerful than B&D's PIVOT model but way more endurance per charge. It uses the tried and true design that is sturdy, well balanced and easy to clean. I like the battery pac design rather than having the batteries built in - makes it easier to exercise the batteries - You just run it down and slam in the freshly charged spare.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Just the right size and power for my small b-hut room, approx 7'x7'.
What's not so great: Would be nice to have come with a wall-hung 'storage rack'.
Here in Afghanistan, this compact unit is great for removal of dust, dirt, and mud from my b-hut room floor. Powerful enough and just the right size.
I would recommend this to a friend!
