dust busters

Cordless cleaning devices

Dust busters are small handheld vacuum cleaners designed for quick cleanups of crumbs, dust, and debris.

The term derives from the Black & Decker brand name Dustbuster, introduced in 1979, which became so ubiquitous that it shifted to generic use.

These cordless devices are typically battery-powered and stored on charging bases, ready for spot cleaning rather than full-room vacuuming.

Grab the dust buster for those crumbs under the table.
