5-15-12 -- everything be great about the B&D; PSV1800 cordless vac , except that empty the dirt be a allergy sufferer 's nightmare . the dust cup be not removable so I have to get right into it and remove two filter before I can get the dirt out , then I use a hand vac to get the rest of the dirt out , then wash the dirt out of the filter , then wait for they to dry before I can use the vac again . other than that I like the suction power which last for my whole job , the ease of get into corner , and the ability to turn the brush off and on as need . I pay $ 79 on Amazon and my neighbor get one at the local ace for $ 49 . I be look for one with b&d; power and a removable dust cup and minimal contact with dust-bearing part .
