Has anything been done to improve the battery performance since the reviews stating how the battery didn't last long?

Dirt Devil provided me with a one time replacement vacuum. Hopefully this one performs better, or I will be forced to go with another manufacturer. Overall interaction with customer service was unsatisfactory. I f I were buying new I would look elsewhere.

My home is small, about 1400 sf., all tile and wood floors. I have no trouble vacuuming the whole house in one charge. I have a lot of "dust bunnies" (dogs) and the brushes are easy to clean.

The one we had quit taking a charge at all about 9 months after we bought it. It is a piece of junk. It was probably used about 15 times.

I tried buying a new battery but it didn't help. Either return it or buy another brand.

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

As far as I know there isn't. However, the battery doesn't drain all that fast unless you have a defective model.

I had the same problem with the first one I received as the battery would not hold a charge. After I posted a negative review, the company reached out and sent a new one that is working much better.

No, not for me. I have made sure to discharge my battery though. In unplugging and using battery only, after a full charge that procedure ensures proper battery capacity.

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

I have not had that problem, but maybe try removing or changing the battery,& also wiping off the bottom if there is some dust dirt or hair underneath, GOOD LUCK

I have noticed that if the battery is not used, it is good for the time stated. Of course, any use or over charging will void the life of the battery. Just make sure if the battery is NOT used it is as good as new.

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

HI Carol, You can adjust the performance of your battery. High performance gives around 3:15 hours and low performance gives 4:40 hours on my computer. I like this computer in general. Hope that help!

I've had no problems with the new battery. I read somewhere that the new battery is a bit stronger and therefore better.

I'm not sure. Cannot locate the information but if you have questions contact them. Our battery seems to be performing well. MM

I bought it 6 months ago and the battery doesn't hold it's charge more than one hour. In the Linux panel I can see 3 hours of battery in the first time I turn on the notebook, but, as the time is going, these 3 hours showed in the panel is becoming minutes in just 1 real hour.

I have repeatly but don't leave it un attended. You should get a deeper charge with just with the battery along in the charger if you have the option.
