Black & Decker Dustbuster Flexi Questions & Answers (page 2 of 2)

Hi Wal,
I haven't experienced this problem. Have emptied the bowl a few times - was a bit hard to remove last time although put back together again easily. Never had a problem with re-charging after emptying the dust bowl. Your best bet might be to contact Black & Decker directly or take the dust buster back to Harvey Norman for a refund.

Hi Nicole, If it's your hair it would be fine but for long pet hair you will need something with more grunt and a larger bag container I would think. These units are great for spot cleaning but it has a surprising amount of sucking power and lasts a good 10 to 15 minutes from a full charge. Cleaning is easy by just removing the lid and tapping out the dust but with long hair you may need to pick it out with a knitting needle or similar as it will wrap itself around and possibly into the white filter guard, but periodicaly it's easier to twist the outer container off and pull the filter out to clean properly - I find a soft tooth brush works well to clean out, along and into the filter folds. It's still working great for me. Cheers...Rick.

A replacement battery didn't come with it. Im not actually sure about the answer as I have not come across this problem. Sorry.

Same here, the battery just stopped charging..called their customer service and they said I can purchase the battery at bunnings..i called bunnings and they said they only sell the charger..so now I'm left with a vacuum that doesn't work..

Try bunnings. Cheers
