Sorry, this isn't the V4810, but the only place I could find to write about the Dustbuster!

The Black and Decker Dustbuster 4.8v cleaner is fantastic! It cleans everything! I'll run through a tried list: Corn Flakes, Dust, Tea, Wine, Sawdust Flies and spiders (!), Crumbs.

DESIGN
It can be attached to a wall next to a plug to be recharged before use. The dust is collected in a clear blue case which can be emptied and washed clean. Also, there are some attachments which can be put on the front of the vacuum to increase the power through making the gap in the front less. These attachments click into the base of the vacuum, making it easy to keep organised.

CLEAN
Cleaning the machine is very easy as the filters and the containers can be cleaned under the tap. This means that there aren't any expensive add-ons which need to be bought.

GUARANTEE
The guarantee (not that it's needed, as the workmanship is good) lasts for 24 months from the date of purchase. This is considerably longer than the norm of 12 months.

POWER
The vacuum has enough power to suck any spills, solid or liquid. This means that the main vacuum doesn't need to be bought out that often! Its small enough and powerful enough to clean through the car, the garage and in the house maing it a very versatile tool.

BATTERY
The battery has quite a limited life, so it needs to be kept on the charger. This shouldn't impede things too much as you only tend to use this for short periods. However, it does also run down if it's left uncharged. This can prove problematic if you need to use it quickly (for liquid spills).

VALUE FOR MONEY
This is great value for money. I paid £30 for it in Argos in June. It really is the best £30 I've spent on household tools.

I'd say you should certainly choose this tool as certainly the best hand held vacuum on the market.
