Are there any handheld cordless vac models that use NiMH betteries?
The ones I've used so far (DirtDevil, DustBuster) all use NiCd, and
they had really poor charge capacity - all would run out of steam in
1-2 minutes, even though I'd make sure to charge them for several
hours, or even days, prior to use.

cheers


Unless you're planning of vacuuming the entire house with it, 1 to 3 minutes
seems entirely reasonable.
