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

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.

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.

TL/wr: A great performer with minor quibbles. I ordered this to replace the older green and white model that had worked well enough for year as long as I replaced the battery every second year or so. As I was about to buy another $25 dollar battery and go through the hassle of dissasembly, I thought about new battery technology and started looking for a hand-vac upgrade. Interestingly enough all reviews and price point led me to the newer model of the vacuum Id had for years. Ive used it for a year now for the general chores of (dry) coffee spills dusting in corners etc. Its main use is strewn cat litter when cleaning up around the box. Its used at least four to five times a week for this purpose so after a year I feel the vac has had a good trial. Compared to the older model it definitely has more suction and the suction lasts longer. Ive noticed no significant drop in performance over this year while the old model would have already started to show some recharge fatigue. It retains the okay crevice tool/extension and the small flip down brush for whatever a small flip down brush is good for. Break down and cleaning remain exactly the same as the old model and two of my favorite features is how easy it is to empty and the washable final filter. Whats not so good? I have only two quibbles that knocked off the fifth star. Neither are insurmountable but I dont give five stars easily. One: The new upright charger stand style is a downgrade from the previous model and it can be a little fiddly to get it to seat. Two: the routing of the exhaust (same as the old model) tends to blow the mess away from the vacuum just as youre trying to pick it up so you have to sort of chase the bits around the counter/floor from several different angles making all jobs take longer than if the exhaust was a re-routed or better diffused. In summary: Id buy it again and I think it really hits a sweet spot in price/performance ratio.

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.

I purchased this last August and had a problem with it recently. I contacted their representative and they took my information and promptly sent me a replacement with no questions asked. I really like this for my small apartment and recommend their products.

This handheld is versatile, easy to use and powerful . Best I’ve had to daye.

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.

It’s just what I was looking for and has nice features built in for that you don’t have to search for while using.

I got it on Amazon day July 15, at 1 cent more expensive! Wasted my time that day. I still have two B&D NiCad in the garage I think. I gave up on them and others for a couple of years. They are good, perhaps too good. Replacement filters cost a fortune. And the power drops fast. I tried another one with a washable filter. You have to touch the accumulated dust to clean it. No matter how you wash it, its still black. Then you dry the filthy filter, reshape it a little, and put it back. Not a pleasant thing to do. Also, at the time, I waited at least for NiMH battery but they never arrived. When lithium came out they are so expensive. And the first bagless like the Dyson are so large! This is surprisingly small which is a good thing. The battery is heavy but not more than some other models, old and new. Not that you need much effort to vacuum. The older ones are full of dead spaces that are difficult to clean thoroughly. The pivoted tube is more convenient than a fixed straight one, but the advantage is really in the storage. When its folded, it stands upright and stable on the charging stand taking up little footprint. You can put in on the table and its not bad to look at. Indeed, it comes with some tapes to protect the shiny finish just as some electronics. There is an indicator light that blinks when its charging, so you know its in the right position when you put it back. Even when its fully charged, when you take it out of the base and put it back, the indicator will still blink a little. Very reassuring. Its very easy to empty the dirt, and very easy to take the filters off to wash. Indeed, you take the whole thing to wash, leaving the motor and battery with the handle. So you dont need to touch or go near the dirt, not that much. The models I used before all have some metal screws or something else near the suction tube or on the body that made it unsuitable to wash. The prefilter is semi-clear plastic and the inner filter is pleat. The inner filter looks like disposable filters but it is washable. If it doesnt go back to white or light grey after wash, it doesnt matter that much because I dont really have to touch it much if I dont want to. Theres even a pull up handle on the filter. The on-board tools make the price worthwhile. There are a narrow flat tube and a brush that you can pull out from the end of the suction tube. Very convenient and you wont ever need to find it. Even if its attached to the body on other models, the changing of it is a hassle. Yes, Im lazy. Not really, when you take a 10 sec to take off one tool and insert the other tool in, you could have completed the job on this one. I cant find any fault yet. But the plastic packing is not recyclable. Update: this thing is easily jammed with bigger things like pet food pellets. Its not the size of the pellets but the small volume of the collection cup. Even if the cup is not full, the pellets circulate around the container. Because of the compact design, the flap that prevents pellets going back out the tube opens into the path of the pellets inside. It doesnt take much solid trash to jam the tube so nothing goes inside the cup but remains inside the tube. When the motor stops those trapped pellets will flow out from the tube. Of course, theres no problem for dust and fine trash. Therefore I brought also the older model with 16V. The few volt difference isnt obvious during use. Sucking pet food pellet is shown in the listing pictures. One advantage is that this can be wall mounted and it doesnt take much vertical space because of the folded tube.

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.
