I'm wondering if you folks still have any of your vintage Black & Decker Dustbusters from 1979 to 1985?
What I am talking about is the classic 1979 design Dustbuster. These were the model #s with the ribbed switch: Model 9330 Dustbuster = cream color, 3-cell (3.6 volt) battery Model 9333 Dustbuster Plus = coffee brown color, 5-cell (6.0 volt) battery Model 9510 CarVac = blue color (1980-83) or black color (1983+), 12-volt DC power Sears also sold this design as: Model 900.178320 (9-17832) Cordless Vac (circa 1980-85) (3-cell battery) Model 900.178330 (9-17833) Cordless Vac Plus (circa 1982-85) (5-cell battery) (Yes, the Sears models retained the original respective trim colors of the B&D originals) ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK | ||

Dustbuster Slideshow
If you go to page 8 of 11 of this slideshow, you will see a rare version of the 1st-gen 9330 where on the nozzle it reads "B&D Duster" ("Duster" is in a very large type) instead of "Dustbuster."

Indeed Steve, that is the problem with collecting battery powered handheld vacuums.
I have an old Woolworths wet & dry handheld but at about 10 years old (I'd estimate) the battery is pretty much toast now only working for about 5 minutes before losing power. If you want a handheld vacuum cleaner that will last years and years you have to buy a mains powered one like the Hoover Dustette. Heck, my 1951 Dustette is still going like the day it came out of the box (which I have) even at 62 years of age. But let us not deviate from the original topic which is Dustbusters, not Hoovers!! | ||

I forgot to mention that Sears had earlier given their first "Cordless Vac" the catalog # of 9-1752 (model #900.175200) which I believe was early on in the run, switching to #9-17832 late in the 1st-gen game.
For 1986, Black & Decker overhauled its Dustbuster line. The Dustbuster Plus version, which now has a much darker shade of its trademark coffee brown color, lost one cell from its battery pack (from 6.0 volts to 4.8 volts). The exhaust ports were also removed. A year later, Black & Decker introduced the Dustbuster Plus Power Brush which used a turbine brush nozzle that attached to the main nozzle (#9338). The third-gen Dustbuster appeared in 1990 in the form of the PowerPro DB4000, the Plus version being the DB5000. ~Ben | ||

After you click the attached link, look at the item marked "4" on this page from the 1986 Sears Wish Book.
