Dustbusters
Anyone have a good one? Priorities are: - High suction
- Wall mountable
- Good battery
- Doesn’t break the bank
- Is not a Dyson
I realize I can’t have all of those simultaneously. Any recommendations?

The main thing I hate about most cordless vacuums is the battery is never charged when you need it, or it dies too quickly if you have a big job. They also suck when they start degrading.
So I just switched all my vacuums to Ryobi as I already have a gazillion battery packs from my power tools. All problems solved. If I need power, I just slap in a power tool battery.

Only downside is lack of the vortex motion of Dysons as that keeps the dirt out of the airflow path so suction doesn't degrade as it becomes fuller.

We've had good luck with the Black and Decker Dustbusters. Gotta go 20V though with two models (one that rotates) and they both have docks that we leave it on charging. Less than 20V is weak.
Looks like they are priced high on amazon and homedepot these days. But I had been keeping an eye out on them and got one per floor for < $60 each I believe.

We've had the Bissell pet eraser and been super happy with it.
Our Pyrenees sheds white hair like crazy and it works for us, so should be more than enough for anyone without an extreme shedding pet.

Honestly, I’ve tried the cheaper stick vacuums that fit your bill and they end up losing suction when full, or the batteries truly suck and don’t last more than 10 minutes.
I upgraded this year from the older 7 model to like the 15 or whatever it is now. I can vacuum for close to 35 minutes on 1 charge. That is on the regular setting, it has the max/boost for carpet we use for small area rugs. Now if I owned a house with a lot of carpet I’d just get a plug in vacuum.
Anyway, I’m a Dyson believer when it comes to stick vacuums. The cheap ones aren’t as good.

I’m not looking for a stick vacuum though, I already have that. I want an actual hand held Dustbuster.
And no Dyson because anything Dyson I’ve owned has been an Expensive dud. I’m actually looking god this Dustbuster for someone else anyways.

And to clarify, in addition to the Ryobi vacuum... I also own a Dyson because sometimes you just need its particular set of skills.

What are you using it for?
I thought the suggestion to look for one that pairs up with power tools was a solid suggestion. The Ryobi one was $100 plus battery or $40 without. I don't don't get the idea for going for dust buster sized vacuums of that size though. If I was looking in that range, I'd probably be opting for wand vacuums instead and choose lightweight over bin size.

I also use a RYOBI dustbuster which has awesome power and I use it everyday. I had a black and decker and it was awful, weak, took forever to charge, and ended up having to throw the whole thing out once the battery completely failed. The RYOBI was cheaper as I had the battery anyways… if you already have a battery operated tool system see if they have a Dustbuster, if not, buying the RYOBI with a battery is worth it IMO.

Do you have your model number by any chance?

I gave up on Dustbusters a while ago for the same reasons already mentioned. Terrible suction and terrible battery.
This would of been before some of these fancier interchangeable battery ones came out.
We just bought a small Dewalt shopvac which is on wheels and use that. Definitely more bulky, but we get a ton of use out of it for small messes, stairs, etc.
