Batteries in these things don't last more than a year or two. They are difficult to replace. All of these handhelds end up in landfills. You're actually better off getting a wired vacuum.
Yeah, I just found mine after full charge it doesn't even last 3min anymore when it used to last about 10min+ and I don't always leave it on a charger. I think I got almost 3yrs out of it but now it's a paperweight. Maybe I get the Ryobi one with replaceable batteries since I already have a few of their accessories.

Is it difficult to replace the battery? I have replaced countless batteries in sealed cell phones and laptops. Guess I'm wondering if the process is destructive to the tool or possible, but a requires some tech knowledge.
Warning! Warning! From all I've read: A) you must HOLD the button down the ENTIRE TIME when using. A lot of people think it's not a big deal, but I want to vacuum UNDER a bed and that would NOT work. B) From what I can see it really DOES need to be hung when charging and thus will NOT work well on a table.
Did you keep it charging when not in use? That's the only way I'd think the battery would last 10 years....
I do with my 4 cell dustbuster. I guess that's why my batteries are still good. All the time I thought that would be bad for it. I took it apart to clean it and see how to replace the cells but I don't see a reason to replace them yet.
