When I got home and found I had charged my Dustbuster during the day. which meant there was a really tempting string lying around somewhere. I knew I had just screwed it up, by and large! I have 2 rescue kitties who manage to get in ANYTHING. As I feared, the cable was a thing of the past and they chewed it to the point where it didn't work anymore. I was so glad to find this listing for chargers only. It works great (and I remember very well now to put it away and never leave it unattended at the mercy of my little spooks!). Yes, and I can confirm that it works.
