BLACK+DECKER dustbuster 20V MAX* POWERCONNECT Cordless Handheld Vacuum (BCHV001C1)

The size, battery support, suction are all positive. With some tweaks this vac would be a solid 5 star. Be very careful when cleaning for the first time - Before replacing the dustbowl, press and hold the release button on the handle as you replace the dustbowl until it seats. If you dont, the release button will seize and there is no way to correct the problem. The biggest plus for this vac is the detachable battery!

Update: increase in replacement filter cost. Now Amazon has replacement filters - 2 for $50!! You can only wash these filters 5-6 times before they shred and need to be replaced. I don’t recommend this model.

Dislike assembly

I use 5ah & 6ah Powerextra batteries that are compatible with Black & Decker 20v tools for this and many others!

The main reason I purchased this model is that it uses the B&D 20 Volt Max battery. I have an assortment of Black and Decker 20V tools with extra batteries. Just be careful that you do not put the filter assembly in upside down (it sort of fits). The cover will go on just enough to jam, then you will have a real problem trying to get it open again. Overall, I like it.

powerful hand-held vacuum for auto and home use. Previous model using removable batteries was discontinued. This new model was improved.

This is a good hand held vacuum. My only drawback is the battery pack that rests on it vs a plug in.

Easy to open and clean, good suction. So glad to finally get this. I just leave attached one of my black and decker 20 volt batteries, 1.5 ah and charge or swap out as needed. Great for window sills, crumbs and thin pile of dust my swifter leaves behind. Just love it and how portable it is. I had an electric one years ago but did not use as much because it ran out of power often and had to go back on charger. This one is great!

I have had many cordless hand held vacs over the years. They all worked, some better than others. This Model is a power house. It has strong suction. It can pick up dirt, sand, pet hair and countless other things without an issue. It comes with a battery and charger. It charges in a few hours. It is simple to take apart, clean and put back together. It can easily get into tight places that your bigger vac would not fit into. It is light weight and has one accessory.

Strong suction, works great in the car for quick cleanup. Added plus, super for ridding the house of the awful Marmolated Stink Bugs that sneak inside.
