BLACK+DECKER 20V Max Handheld Vacuum, Cordless, Grey (BDH2000PL)

handy and easy cleaning. you can wash it directly

I bought this for small cleanups in the kitchen but I have used it for so much more. It is the best small vacuum Ive ever had from the pivoting head to the easy empty cannister. The suction is phenomenal and I couldnt be happier with this purchase. You have to get one, you wont be disappointed.

I use this to clean out my car, and for small spaces in my house. It works good. Takes a bit to charge up if it dies but it lasts for a decent amount of time as long as you aren’t running it for a long time.

Like so many other reviews said, this B&D vac has plenty of suction. I used it twice since I bought it, once on the floor mats on our two cars and the second time on two sets of stairs and work bench. Lots of dirt and small pieces were picked up. Both times the battery lasted 15-16 minutes. Recharge time is between 3 to 4 hours. It keeps a good suction right up to shutting down. I feel that the run time should be a bit longer considering how long it takes for the battery to charge. But I’m ok with it because the jobs I’ll use it on should take less than 15 minutes. Jut not to plan on several jobs all at once. I may come back in a while with an update on battery life, but my experience with lithium ion batteries says it should have a reasonably long life.

I love the vacuum, especially the section power. However the docking station is flimsy. Hard to get the vacuum in right. I had the older model and the docking station was sturdy and easy to access.

This is a little bit heavy, but it has good suction power, is easy to to use, and has extra tools to use on nice surfaces and in crevices. A good buy!

Writing this May of 2022, bought mine on Sep 27, 2020, and other than emptying out the main container when it filled Id not properly cleaned it once or replaced the filter (in fact I came across the spare filter a few months back and not recognizing it am afraid I may have tossed it) .... Why yes even the most robust hand vacuums need to have their filters cleaned occasionally... Ive been using mine about a full year and Im not over stating it when I say I NEVER cleaned it, only reason I even thought to do it was because the contents of my paper shredder had spilled over and theres SO much dust in that that my brain kind of went, that must be tough on the filters ... Pulled it apart for the first time, the filters were completely full, and the space between the filter and plastic casing was completely full... and just a few minutes before it was STILL sucking bits of paper and stuff up off the floor. So I washed it... went after the filter (inside the folds and at top where the plastic overlaps it) with a shellfish fork, cleaning out bits of junk the water couldnt clear out (warning, do it over the garbage disposal or youll clog your sink) ... once that was all cleaned out, saw the clear plastic casing that has tiny holes in it, and about half of the holes were full of junk that were stuck in there blocking air flow. Took to it with a pin, pushing the bits out (they were all hard bits of I dont know what) and then rinsed the holes clean ... am still waiting for it to dry, but Im impressed. ALL that dirt was in there and it was STILL working... if it works flawlessly once the bits have had time to dry out Im going to hug it --- next day, it dried, and is once again working flawlessly

EDIT exactly 30 days later. The charger that is such a bitch to use anyway, died. On the very last day of return eligibility. I am getting a replacement because the thing is just too efficient - the baseboards in my house have never been as clean. But, if this one dies, Im not sure what Ill do. I got this mainly for cleaning up kitty litter that gets sprinkled around the litter boxes. It sucks that stuff up like nobodys business. Perfection. However, I have two major issues with the design. 1. Getting it into the charging stand is a bitch and a half. The stand is now stable enough and the fit is not close to intuitive. Im going to hate it every time I put it away. 2. I had to read the damn manual to get the nozzle back from extension and even that didnt help. Push the raised button on the nozzle. Look, Jacko. There is NO RAISED BUTTON. I finally figured it out but it should not have involved that many swear words.

We have had several car vacuums that under performed. We use a roomba to pick up pet hair, it gets most but there is always some left. We follow with vacuum with the nozzle extended to pick up the rest plus anything else that may be on the floors. It does a excellent job. It is easy to clean and comes with clear instructions.

Im so disgusted with handheld vacs! I would have loved this one to have 2 levels of power but it is pretty strong on suction. The most frustration feature was trying to pull the Crevice tool out and the killing yourself getting it put back in place! I worked on it for over 45 mins and my husband took a look at it and figured it out, pulling front part of crevice tool out while pushing down on the end of it where the lines are. pretty hard to do but it is doable, even for a 76 yr old. like the compart size, sturdiness. Its better than the Shark I had...
