how long does the battery last?

I have had the vacuum just over a year. The battery (on a full charge) now lasts only about 5 minutes - if that - before significantly powering down. I've been trying to find a replacement, but am not sure what kind to get.

I haven't tested it to it's limit but I've cleaned my car, my boyfriends car and my bathroom corners with no issues. I would keep plugged in when not in use anyway.

my battery also stopped charging after less than a year. I love the vacuum but now need another on because it will charge continuously and wont work but 30 seconds till it cuts off. Very frustrating. in the beginning it worked great but now just frustrates me.

Maybe 15 mins of constant use. I have used it to pick up stuff around the entire house and it still has a charge. It always has enough charge to pick up after my infant's feeding remains but we always leave it on the charger. Keep it charged and the battery won't be an issue.

About 20 -25 minutes. Long enough for small pickups not enough to vacuum the whole house.

After 2 years It has full power for only 10 seconds before it starts to die.

Have had this for about 2 1/2 years.... right off the charger, get full power for maybe 3 minutes, then drops off rapidly.

It was lasting up to 20-25 minutes for me. I always keep it plugged in. Use it almost every day, several times a day. But now that I've had it for about 9 months, the battery is no longer lasting very long. I think maybe 5 minutes, tops, before it starts to lose power. I am here to check out the return policy, because I think I got a lemon. My last Dustbuster lasted several years with regular use. It's way too early for this one to be dying already.

It lasts for about 20+ minutes, but I don't use it for long except for short sessions. Please note, it's best when the battery is allowed to drained and then recharged to prevent memory effect. Most folks set it back in the charger which is the worse thing you can do.

Around 1 month, and I use it daily. Howere, sometimes, the led light in front keep flashing, then the battery will last for a couple of days only.

If you leave it on constantly then probably only 1 day it's a tiny battery. but if you only use it a couple hours a day it will last.

When it is fully charged, it lasts about a week, and then the battery loses one bar. I presume it can go a month and be just about ready to "die." It never actually "turns off" otherwise--the clock display is always on. But this is just in standby mode, without using the features.

2 hours. Maybe 2 1/2. Be careful when you "close it" or pause it, because it doesn't turn off and will run the battery down.

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

It only lasts a 2 - 2 1/2 hours MAX for me. And I have my computer on the settings to maximize the battery life. Very disappointing.

battery life is good (Haven't done an exact measurement, but it seems like I recharge about every 3 or 4 days). It has an automatic sleep function that preserves the battery life. Full charge in about 2 hours.

I have had mine for about a month. I always forget to turn it off so I cannot tell you how long the battery lasts because I have not needed to recharge yet.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

I'm not sure about the battery life. But I haven't changed battery yet since I bought mine. Just be sure to turn it off after you use it.

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.

Quite a while. I have owned this for well over a year now, and I have only replaced the batteries once.

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

I can't say I have ever measured the battery life but we are happy with it. As long as it was plugged in overnight, it usually makes it through the day, because we set it to suspend after 15 minutes of idle time and we rarely use it for more than 30 min straight. If I ever take it with me to work somewhere for an extended period, I just take the cord with me, it is pretty light.

I don't have a definite answer for you- but I can say that we took it on a 5.5 hour flight using it on and off throughout the flight and the battery lasted the whole time.
