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

This is honestly the best handheld vacuum I have ever used! Its so easy to use, easy to empty and even clean. You can detach the bin to rinse out and take out filter to empty and rinse if you so choose. As a mom this has been one of my best investments. I can do a quick cleanup in the car, couches, and kitchen. The bristle attachment that folds down on end helps get up stubborn pet fur off upholstery. I accidentally broke the bin door when tapped it on garbage can to release dust but I used duct tape to keep it closed and it still works like new. The battery seems to go forever. Im not sure exact time, but I got carried away cleaning car and made through whole car cleaning except when i did a twice over. My car is filthy...it charges pretty quickly and has a blue light to indicate that its still charging. When im done with it, i empty bin and put it on the stand/charger. Its always ready to go whenever I need it....which is often.

Im disappointed in the battery life. I bought this in 2016 and the battery stopped being useful in 2020. I have to park outside and not near my building. Now when I use this to clean my car, it lasts for about a minute. I turn it off, wait, then try for another minute. I leave it sitting in the charger all the time. Does the cleanliness of the filter have anything to do with the battery life? Are there any handheld vacs that have good reliable battery life?

Maybe 3-4 months after buying Piviot, the the hinged refuse door that pops open to empty it, busted. . The hinge snapped in places. Perhaps it was me giving the device a couple good raps over the the trash can. In any case those hinges might call for a look see for better construction. But yes! I’m buying it again because I’ve never owned a handheld as powerful and versatile as the Pivot. Maybe don’t rap yours so hard.

I bought this item after reading the rave reviews and comparing it to a few other products. I bought this for work - to clean up drywall dust and other minor messes. I thought Id give it a test first cleaning up my jeep. Ill start by saying I hadnt vacuumed my jeep in about 4 months - so there was plenty of debris to be picked up from leaves, to hair, and other small particulates. Mission accomplished. My jeep (wrangler) and all its crevices are clean. The only negative - is that it took me a few hours to do it. Thats because I did the front seats and floorboard before the battery died. I recharged and then did the rear seats, floorboard and cargo area - and it died as I finished. In grand total, I got about 20-25 minutes between two full charges. Likely, you wont be trying to clean a whole car with this device, but if you do, be warmed of the relatively short run time. In the future, I guess I should be able to get the car clean on one charge as I never really let my car get 4 months dirty. In short, you likely wont be disappointed with this product, just be prepared for it not to last that long. Docked a 1/2 star for short battery life and a 1/2 star for a non-replacable battery.

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.

WE love this so much that we ordered a second one in within 1 week of getting the first one and seeing how it performed.

Over the last decades, I have had many manual vacuums...starting with corded ones and on to battery-powered ones. I chose this one after expertly reviewing customers reviews. I agree with most favorable assessments: this is a good handheld vacuum. I like the filter set-up for cleaning, and I especially like the sucking force! Unfortunately, the head/mouth of the device is such that it is too close to the ground so particles as high as 2-3mm are passed over. There is plenty of suction power to get them but the vacuum mouth has no way to lead them in . You just have to raise the vacuum to get them in on the 2nd or 3rd pass. Otherwise a well-working product worth its extra cost for the power.

light and portable, yet powerful enough to suck up cobwebs, dust bunnies, crumbs, stray litter, bits of debris, etc. ive used this around the house, in the car, and anywhere i need to clean without being tethered by an electrical cord or the larger standard upright or canister type. the pivoting nozzle is extendable to get into nooks and crannies, able to lock into the position needed. the flip up brush on the nozzle is good for softer surfaces such as upholstery or drapes. i found the nozzle great for use in corners where stair treads meet risers, or on clean up the top of shelf up high. the first button on the handle releases the nozzle so that it can be pivoted to the position necessary. the second button is a slider that powers on the unit on or off. engage the pivoting nozzle until it is against the units body to make it compact and ready for its charging base. the powered charging bases plastic seems flimsy compared to the vacuums heavy duty plastic, but its sufficient to cradle the vacuum for charging. the base can be set on the counter, table or floor, or mounted on the wall with the included mounting screws. a dim blue led light flashes slowly when the unit is docked into its charging base. upon being fully charged, the led discontinues illuminating to indicate it is ready. when the vacuum is in use, the led illuminates steadily for on. when the vacuum starts to run out of charge during use, the led flashes quickly as a warning before all the power is discharged. first time charging can take up to 4 hours with subsequent charging time seeming to be less than that. this isnt meant to replace corded units ability to run non-stop. this limited amount of time on a battery-based product is sufficient for on and off use while doing a quick cleanup. continuous usage running time may vary. approximately 15 minutes is my best time thus far. a lot of small factors impact how long it can run continuously, such as suctioning effort, operating temperature, how much debris is collected, etc. the pivots cylindrical dirt chamber opens easily for emptying of collected debris. my favorite feature is that the nozzle and cylindrical dirt chamber unit is removable for a thorough washing. push the side button on the nozzle, and the assembly releases from the body of the vacuum. a removable and washable pre-filter and filter is inside the chamber and the filter itself is replaceable. i personally like washable filters due to their reuse ability. thats why i also have a dyson upright. the dirt chamber has an internal rubber flap where the nozzle joins it, which helps trap debris from falling back out the nozzle. this is perfect for when you use the unit to suck up pesky insects or food items, and you dont want them to escape back out should the unit be powered off. the black and silver color scheme is attractive enough should this unit be left in view while charging instead of hidden away. according to the instructions, the lithium battery can be removed. obtaining a replacement 20-volt lithium battery might be possible when available.

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.

The fold-up feature is wicked convenient! I was looking at a few different hand vacs and got this one on a whim, unsure if the folding feature would actually be useful. I sh!t you not, I wont buy a straight one again! Empties easy, all the built-in tools work the same, I like it, glad I bought it.
