How many years of use have you gotten before it doesn't stay charged?

Been using mine regularly for 3 years 3 months. Still going strong. No loss of power or run time.

I purchased my Dust Buster hand vac about a year ago and now it will not hold a charge. I am looking into Manufacturer warranty (2 years) to see if they will fix/replace vacuum.

I have only had it a few months but it sets on the charger and has never lost any power so far. My old one would lose powerafter I used it to long at one time. For me I am very happy because of the lithium battery the power is strong all the time.

i have had mine for almost three years...no drop in power or charge hold time

only bought it last week,but as we use it , it doesn't seem to lose power over a few minutes of continuous run time. We have cleaned the complete bathroom floor with it and no change in power. Also it sets on the charger real easy. The one we had ( it was a shark) would lose power after less than a minute's use

Good question! We've only had this unit a short time but other experiences with lithium batteries proves they really outperform nicd.

I purchased this model in December 2013 (so a couple weeks shy of two years) and after replacing the filter for the first time last week (they clean very well) it is like new, and it has seen plenty of regular use throughout the entire two years. The charging base is great, it's easy to just drop the vac on there so it never gets left off, and it's only needed a charge while cleaning once or twice (on jobs I really should have gotten the full size vac out for)

it depends on the amount of usage. i use mine quite often and it has lasted for about 14 months (single cell). i use it outdoors so i would leave it directly in the sun as much as i can, that way it maintains a charge, otherwise i charge it via a 12v adapter once or twice a week.

I have been using mine for over a year and it stays up to the charge. I guess it's time to replace it when it stops holding the charge.

I am not sure on that..I have never had any problems with mine. I have had one besides this one for about7-8 years and it still holds a long charge.

Not that I've experienced. I carry it around in my satchel and use it only when I have no other options for charging, which is rare. Every time I take it out it is exactly charged to where I left it. Doesn't seem to matter if that's 1 week or 6 months later, it's always as charged as I left it the last time.

If you are referring to how long I have had the unit and if it is still operating I have had the unit for over a year and a half. it is still working well. If you are asking how long the charge lasts it depends on use. With moderate use I can get two to three days on a charge.

If you charge it, it will stay charged up to 1 year not that it will only work for a year.

Mine has worked perfectly for 6 years. It still holds it's charge at 99% indefinitely. I can't believe how well it works. My only complaint is that it is rather heavy.

I haven't checked. It's our home phone and we usually use it for a couple of hours each day. Currently it lasts about a week between charges.

I usually charge every week or two but the longest I have gone before needing a charge is about two months. I use it daily too.

Mine has lasted for several years ... it has a built in rechargeable battery. I only charge it once a month or so.

I have had mine for about 1 year now. It is still working good. It does not have to be charged. I works off 110 volt.

to date I've had it sit for 3 weeks before having to use it. I'd guess that after 3 weeks it still had about 90% of its charge.

i've had mine since 2009. granted, much of that time it's just been in a drawer, but it hasn't drained the battery yet.

Mine lasted about a year before it started warping and lost it's ability to hold charge.

Well so far it's been keeping a charge for me for year and a half I believe and seems to be strong, hope that helps...

my advice only buy when you need it as you need to keep charged up . in normal condition it may last 2-3 years at best it may be less i just got mine 2 months ago n still working .
