I have owned a DustBuster. One of the first with no hose. I do not care for that type. Yes, small and out of sight. That doesn't relinquish that it occupies space and needs to be plugged in at all times.

I contacted DustBuster with your comments. After I was passed around to a number of persons all having difficulty speaking [lot's of belly laughing heard in the background] a very nice old Jewish customer service representative finally got on the phone. She said that until the vacuum industry invents a weightless, massless, hand held vacuum that is invisible to the human eye and nukes dust into thin air without a trace of debris left behind, you have to accept the physical and energy limitations of the DustBuster. On the bright side, she said, you can always find your current DustBuster whenever you need it.
