Nab this super-charged Black+Decker Dustbuster for a rare $45 (less than Black Friday)
Well, friends, it's time to start bidding adieu to winter and welcoming spring with open arms — bring on the longer days! Of course, the arrival of March also means it's time for (dun dun dun) ... spring cleaning. Now, before you roll your eyes or let out a groan, giving your home a warm-weather refresh doesn't have to involve dragging a broom and dustpan around the house. The Amazon-favorite Black+Decker Dustbuster is the speedy hair- and fuzz-zapper that'll make quick work of cleaning floors, furniture and even your car. Not only that, it's also currently on sale for just $45 — so vroom-vroom! Our price trackers tell us that this popular vac wasn't even marked down this much during Black Friday, so if you're in the market for a new mess master, you'd be wise to scoop it up, stat. (This is about as low as it's been since 2023.) Plus, there's a reason the word "Dustbuster" has essentially become synonymous with "hand vacuum" — it's been a favorite for decades, so you know you're getting a quality product. This 2.42-pound bundle of joy (okay, joy might be a stretch — bundle of convenience?) won't easily tire your arm muscles, and what the Dustbuster lacks in heft, reviewers say it makes up for in suction power. Its 10.8-volt rechargeable battery means you won't be tripping over cords or looking for free outlets while you clean, and you'll get about 25 minutes of use per charge. Unless you live in a McMansion, that should be ample time to give your home a good once-over. What's cool about this handvac is that, unlike other models on the market, its attachments are built in, so you don't have to worry about losing or storing them. It's got a crevice tool that extends from the nozzle to get into those harder-to-reach nooks and crannies, as well as a flip-up scrub brush to agitate caked-on dirt and scrape up matted-down fur. Another fun freebie? A wall mount, which you can use to keep it stowed off the floor to save space. Plus, its translucent dirt bowl allows you to see when it's getting full, and the washable filter can easily be cleaned right in the sink. With a fanbase of more than 11,500, this dust demon is sweeping Amazon. "I've been using this particular model for years and finally had to replace it," wrote a repeat buyer. "I purchased the identical model because, in comparison to other brands of handheld vacuums I've owned, this one is superior. The machine is powerful and the battery long-lasting. ... I also like that, while quite powerful, this Dustbuster is pretty light/streamlined, easy to handle — not a cumbersome 'clunker'!" "I bought this for my quilting room, which has hardwood floors," shared another. "It has impressive suction, sweeps my snipped threads and dust bunnies from batting and fabrics right up. I love the wall mount because it's within easy reach all the time. This was a great buy; highly recommend!" "I won't buy another brand," declared a Black+Decker loyalist. "This will suck up everything, including dog and cat hair. (Piece of advice: If you have a lot of hair, take the elements apart frequently to get the hair out.) It's easy to use and keep clean. I prefer this over my big vac for its suction power and ease of use." "A strong sucker!" exclaimed a generally content cleaner. "The airflow is so strong, it moves the vacuum and you can feel it." That said, they had a few notes: "The extension is very short, you often need to bend down a lot. Charging takes a long time. The instructions suggest charging 18 hours for the first charge. Yes, 18 hours." "I've had this vacuum since 2020, and it still works perfectly," raved a final fan. "The only thing I don't love about it is it doesn't have a light showing when it's charging or a light to show if it's "low" on battery, but I solved this issue by storing it ... near an outlet, and it just stays plugged in all the time so it's ready to go!" And for wiping up wet messes... If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here.

1993 Oldsmobile Silhouette: a Wacky Minivan with a Hollywood Past
The aerodynamic replacement for the Chevy Astro, this generation of GM minivan is sometimes called the Dustbuster. The Oldsmobile version found some unexpected fame in 1995's . This example has low mileage and an all-California history, and the auction ends on Monday, February 3. "I ordered a Cadillac." "Oh, well, you got the Cadillac of minivans." And just like that, an Oldsmobile Silhouette became the unlikely transportation of John Travolta's Chili Palmer in Get Shorty, a lighthearted mid-Nineties comedy that sees a mafioso romping through Hollywood, breaking all the rules (and a nose or two). It's great fun, and the Oldsmobile is always either in view or just offscreen, as much of a character as Danny DeVito's slightly clueless movie star or the wonderfully scenery-chewing performance by Dennis 1993 Oldsmobile Silhouette in gorgeous Medium Garnet is up for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It's got just 69K miles on the odometer and has a sunny California history since new. Also known as the Dustbuster van (because, well, look at it), this Oldsmobile was one of a trio of three GM products that was aimed at ending Chrysler's dominance of the minivan segment. The previous Chevy Astro and GMC Safari hadn't quite done the job, and so GM's design department tasked Pontiac with coming up with an exciting did they. The Trans Sport concept van was first shown at the 1986 Chicago auto show, and it featured futuristic styling—with rear gullwing doors, decades before the Tesla Model X. There was even an integrated onboard Nintendo system. Of course, the production version was a lot more conventional. As usual, GM spread the product among its brands, giving each version slightly different flavors. The Chevy Lumina APV was the workhorse. The Pontiac Trans Sport was the sporty one. And the Olds Silhouette, that was the luxury which version didn't sell very well. Part of the joke in Get Shorty is that a Silhouette is exactly something you'd find in a rental lot, because plenty of them went to fleet sales. Those vans were chewed up and scrapped, but this example has remained in the same family since new, and it shows like it's been cared that aerodynamic hood is a 3.8-liter V-6 that was good for 170 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. It has had some recent service including replacement of the water pump and serpentine belt, and it passed California emissions testing last year. With leather, air conditioning, cruise control, and plenty of power features, this is one loaded-up minivan. Sixteen-inch alloy wheels add a further element of bling. A sliding-door Escalade? Perhaps not quite, but it's still a very tidy example. The auction ends on February 3.
