A user reviews the Black and Decker CHV9600 Cyclonic DustBuster Vacuum: “We put the Black and Decker CHV9600 Cyclonic DustBuster Vacuum through the ringer with 2 little messy kids and a cat. It was abused at times when my toddler got a hold of it…she dropped it many times by trying to help but it still continuted to work. It was used virtually everyday and it held up better than I expected it to. I doubt anyone expects the Black and Decker CHV9600 Cyclonic DustBuster Vacuum to last forever, but I was happy with its performance over the past 2 years. I would still recommed this product, but just be aware that it’s life span is only a couple years at best.”
