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

Little hand held vacuum is so powerful; the lifetime of the product and battery life and charge are amazing. I had the previous model for 10+ years it didn’t brake my son dropped it and the collection bin cracked…it’s still working but glued it and use for my garage know. So,I got a new one for indoor. Overall the best. I did compare different ones before repurchase and none stand up to the suction power. Would love if they made a pet hair attachment for it!! If so none on the market could stand up to it.

Since this unit is one-hand held, weight and hand position when vacuuming are really important. Being able to move the nozzle makes it much easier to hold the unit at the best angle for comfort of use. You dont have to lift your arm or elbow at odd angles, so the weight of the vacuum isnt as difficult to manage.

This hand vac is CRAZY STRONG! When I first opened the box and saw the vacuum I loved the look, loved the extremely light weight of it, loved the ability to adjust the position but I was very concerned about the size of vacuum spout that sucks up the dirt. Its smaller than most others. I have a shark hand vacuum and the suction size of this B&D is roughly 1/3 of the size. BUT........ It had a a bit of a charge so I gave it a try on a runner rug I have in my entryway...... I vacuum it every single day because we come and go and we also have a dog. So, its continually getting lots of dust and debris or what not. This hand vacuum is so strong and works so well that I had to find the right angle for the vacuum itself so it would not suck the runner rug up! I got about half of the runner done before the little bit of charge it had in it died and when I looked at what was in the vacuum dirt holder I was shocked! There was so much dirt, sand and dog hair that was vacuumed up that I couldnt believe my eyes! I took pictures. What you are seeing is less than half of my 5 ft X 2 ft runner rug that was vacuumed with the Black & Decker AND I had JUST vacuumed it with my Shark last night! I poured the dirt out onto a paper plate so you can really see what was in there however there is still a ton of dirt caked on the plastic of the interior. THIS HAND VAC IS POWERFUL. Im keeping it. My only complaint is the size of the suction because it takes a little longer when it covers less area but that is easy for me to overlook given the power if this vacuum. I highly doubt there is any other hand vacuum as strong as this one and I cant wait til its fully charged to go and finish the job on all of my runners as well as in my car!

Like the heck out of this vacuum. Good suction and power lasts for long time. Easy to use and to empty. Comfortable to hold and light weight.

Today is May 13, 2020. We got this vacuum on Jan 19th. Im not sure that Amazon will allow specific pricing in reviews. I went to order one to set to our daughter, and in that time the price went up ***40%***!!!! We didnt get any special prices and that was the every day rate... at least at the time. Is it worth what we paid for it then? Absolutely. Would we buy it at this price? Absolutely not. Our daughter will just have to use a broom and dust pan for awhile longer until the price comes back to the stratosphere. We received this hand vac yesterday and wanted to share my first impressions. When we received the B+D 20v vac it arrived in a non-descript box. On the outside was the ORMD (hazmat) lable, but no fancy box as one might expect. The HAZMAT warning is because of the Li Ion battery Im sure. Very basic packaging with basic instructions. The first impression was like a youd expect with a direct from China product. The operation was fairly intuitive, but a little confusing, but I figured things out reasonably quickly. I did have to refer to the manual. You have to push the button on the handle to open the nozzle and change angle. The crevice tool was easy to find, but I had to figure out how to push it back into the main nozzle. And yet when I actually used the crevice took, it collapsed at first on its own. The way the vac sits on the charging dock is unique. It sits kind of side-saddle. And while you can feel it click in to its position, it doesnt really self-glide. You have to make sure it seats, especially if you mount the charging dock. FWIW, the charger is a 24v charger, but light weight and hard wired into the dock. While the vac unit itself seems relatively sturdy, the charging dock feels like it could be the weak link to the system. If it ever dies your whole unit is dead in the water unless you can rewire a new transformer into the system. First use: It did a fairly good job of cleaning the crumbs on my kitchen floor. I found it very handy in many areas. The foldable nozzle is a nice design feature. My daughter has a 12v B+D vac, but honestly I dont think the 20v unit picks up any better than her 12v, sold for about $55. The one she has doesnt fold, so takes up more space when not in use. One of the features I really like (so far) on our unit is the door on the side of the unit to open for cleaning. Just flip open the door and turn the unit sideways in to the trash. I think that is one feature that separates it from the other choices where the unit has to come apart to dump the dirt collection. It takes only 5 or 10 seconds to open, dump and reclose. Its so easy that you wont hesitate to dump the dirt every time you use it, even for just a few seconds. What I wish it had: A removable battery and separate charger for batteries. One of the other candidates for consideration were one of two Ryobi 18v systems. The one Ryobi unit that came as tool only seemed bulky and the evercharge variation had a charger that seemed to want to be mounted on a wall. THE B+D can be mounted on a wall, but can also sit on a countertop. So while the lack of a separate battery was a con, being able to sit it on a counter or shelf (near an outlet) allows it to be moved to different areas for charging, not limited to mounting in one stationary location. The question not yet answered (for us) is; Will the unit hold up? Im told that B+D customer service is lacking and Amazon only guarantees the products for a limited time. I took a chance because I couldnt find a design that I liked better and any choice had its compromises. I will edit this review if circumstances change and/or I get more experience with this vacuum unit. Based on the above, it might be worth considering if it is in your price range for such a device.

I have waffle mats under the cat litter boxes to capture litter. This device does a fabulous job of vacuuming up the bits of litter out of the waffles. I dont dump the suctioned-up litter back in the box as Im using the vacuum for so much more...kitchen, stairs... It is easy to empty the container and about once a week, I take it apart and clean the filters. Note, the plastic filter cup does tend to get the bits of litter stuck in the little holes. I have a wire brush which I use to scrub out those particles. So easy.

Purchased to use in my car and for quick crumb clean ups in the house. Especially love small crevice tool that extends from the end and the brush tool that flips up when needed. So good I wanted to write review and would highly recommend.

This is my second hand vac from B&D. After several years I wore mine out and made sure to order the exact same vacumn.

This hand vac was ranked best by a NYTs article and another best hand vacs of 2023 article. The one minus mentioned was the small cup capacity. What was not mentioned was that the area between where the nozzle dumps into the cup will clog if you pick up ANYTHING other than dust. You then have to stick your fingers into the cup and drag out the debris making sure you get it out of the nozzle where it gets stuck. In my case it is dog hair from a 10 lb doxie (not a lot of shedding) so if you have any pet that is a heavy shedder this will not be the hand vac for you. If you are picking up fine dust the suction is great.

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.
