> 3 dayMy dad just bought a portutif handheld vac for $39.99 for his car. It works fine, but it has a rubber smell, and some parts aren’t made very well. So I bought this one, because I’ve always wanted one, I was jealous that he had one, and I wanted him to see a real handheld vac. I accidentally bought two, so now he has two. If I cared more, I would make a video. The B & D is superior! Yay! And only $10 more. It has better suction, is clearly more sturdy and it doesn’t have any stinky odors. It’s also more convenient because all the attachments are actually attached, so you’re not going to lose them, or need the little bag that comes with the portutif. That being said, my dad’s vac (besides the odor that he can’t seem to smell), is a fine handheld vacuum. It advertises around a 25 min battery charge, but has much longer. The differences in suction is not that much. I prefer the Black & Decker, it doesn’t take too long to charge (I didn’t time it yet) after the battery runs down. And it is very convenient. One little annoyance: it has a place to hang it on the wall, but doesn’t come with the thing to hang it on. Irritating right? Yet my dad’s cheaper one can hang out all day long on the wall, mocking me. I will update with any big developments in my vac’s life. BTW, both vacs are strong enough to suck up a large bug. Neither are strong enough to kill the large bug -that is, if you happen to have a large bug in your home in a hard to reach place. How you handle the live bug in the vacuum is your own business.

> 3 dayWe are on our third handvac. Super easy to use and charge, but we end up replacing it every few years because the motor dies.

> 3 dayVery good suction and easy to charge. As other reviewers have said its VERY noisy, but worth it because it works great.

> 3 dayBought this to replace an earlier one I bought on Amazon that has four plus stars. The earlier one was simply useless as it had no suction power, despite good reviews, and can only be charged in the car. This Black + Decker on the other hand is great! Very pleased with the suction power and can be charged at home.

> 3 dayI find this cordless vac to be pretty impressive with several nice features. It has strong suction and the battery charge lasts a long time. The throat can be easily extended for a greater reach, which is quite handy. I also like the charger set up, where the vac just rests upright in the charger base until its needed. No wall hanger required. The charger is really simple to use, unlike what some reviewers shared. You just sit it down on the charger base and a blue light indicates when it is properly in place to charge. We just keep the charger base pretty much out of sight in a corner beside an end table. Makes it nice and handy for small jobs. Weve owned it a couple of months and found no faults with it so far. Easily rates a 5 at this point in my opinion.

> 3 dayI use this vac to clean sand and dog hair from my car. It works very well. I live in Florida, so every time my dog jumps into the car she brings in sand. I also use it to clean along the edges of my carpets and under low furniture. It holds a charge a long time; has never quit on me. It has a small charging station. I am totally satisfied with this purchase.

> 3 dayI got this to replace an off-brand vacuum Id had for about 2 years that was not holding a charge or keeping its suction strength. This vacuum so far seems good, Ill update after having it for a bit. But when I immediately realized was that this one is EXTREMELY loud. Way louder than the off brand vacuum. If its got significantly more suction power to account for the noise remains to be seen.

> 3 dayWe use this thing for all types of messes. Great for dog hair, crumbs, sand, bugs and great for helping in small spaces and car too. So happy with the purchase. Long battery life, easy to clean. Contains the dust and any odor well.
