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

This is the best hand held vacuum we have had, and we have had many. Time will tell but so far it’s good. Great pickup.

Bought this to aid in the collection of multi-colored Asian beetles that seem to invade our home year-round, vacuuming them up from walls, ceilings, and around windows and doors from room to room. The on-board brush that flips into place protects finishes. The motion in the filter actually dismembered most of the invaders. Its light enough to vacuum above ones head at length. This works great to clean cars and the onboard crevice tool extension comes in handy. The battery lasts a long time before charging.

It’s been a while since I bought a small vac, so maybe I missed the revolution, but this thing is so powerful. You get it within an inch of dirt, it’s going in. I was hypnotized staring at the dirt and seeing it fly in from distance. And it’s very easy to use and feels well built. Very glad I spent a little extra versus those at a lower price point. If you need a versatile, powerful small vac, I highly recommend this one.

It takes about 4 hours to charge. Based on other reviews, I timed how long the battery would last for the charge. Mine is consistent with others; it lasted 9 minutes and 30 seconds. I vacuumed half of my mid-size SUV, charged the vacuum, did the other half of my car the next day. Its not very productive to begin a chore and complete it the next day. It did a very nice job, though! I was able to get into some nooks that I didnt think was possible. I like the pivot feature, too. The interior of the car looks pretty darn good, and clean too! Using the vast capabilities of web searches, it is also a true statement that a replacement battery for this product cannot be located. This is good: the product guide has directions on how to safely remove the battery for disposal when it can no longer take a charge. This is awful, not environmentally friendly, and contrary to common sense: there is no replacement battery option at the time of this writing. I really like this product. It performs well for my needs. I hope B&D will have a battery option when mine decides to die.

I bought this on the NYT recommendation. Been using it a few weeks, and no problems with battery life or not holding/taking a charge, as others have reported. I work out of the home, with my shop in the basement, so I have to frequently vacuum my bench area to avoid the dust creeping to other parts of the house. Before I bought this, every time I needed to vacuum the bench area, I would walk around the back of the bench, turn on the Shop Vac, vacuum the area, and then walk back to the front side of the bench. This little powerful vac has already saved me numerous trips like that, and because its handy, I even vacuum it up more often. At the end of the day, I walk up the stairs with vac in hand, and give each stair a quick swipe. Then, I plug it in the charger upstairs to get ready for the next day. I love this thing so much, my wife and I plan to buy one for the main house.

Powerful suction and very sturdy

handy and easy cleaning. you can wash it directly

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.

A good design that works well. Construction is definitely a step above the lower priced vacs. The only addition I think would be useful would be a wider attachment since this has so much suction.

I have another hand vacuum from the same brand, but do not like it nearly half as much as I love this one. This hand vacuum is an amazing size, you can fold the nozzle when you are finished for space purposes. It is easy to charge. The charger is not huge. The suction is amazing easy cleaning. Nothing to install. I use this hand vacuum mostly to clean my sofas. It is extremely durable.
