Vacuum Cleaner

Looking for Hand Held Vacuum again in 2013 - old DC16 making jet-engine noises...

• Jan'2012 Wire Cutter review likes Black And Decker 18V Pivot for $50 (not really considering anything over $100 like the Dyson)
  • Feb'2013: Wire Cutter now likes the $150 Black And Decker Flex BDH2000FL. (2nd place: Dyson DC44 stick $370 yikes; 3rd place the previous Black And Decker. Outcome: bought the Black And Decker Flex/Platinum BDH2000FL.
• Mar'2013 Patricia Baker likes the $40 Eureka Easy Clean (which isn't cordless!)
• 10rate liked the Eureka, too; followed by the Black And Decker, then the Dirt Devil BD10045RED
• the Dyson DC34 (similar to our old one) is $200

Hand-held/cordless - looked 2006.

• Oct'2005 Wired Mag gadget-lab picks Black And Decker Dust Buster with HEPA filtration

• Consumer Guide best-buy picks include Black And Decker and Dirt Devil

• AllergyBuyers likes Dirt Tamer

• Dec'2006: Wired Mag and Time Mag both like James Dyson's DC16 Root6 - for $150!
