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

Good and powerful, but not versatile. The only attachment is for getting into edges.

The suction on this vacuum is weak, being especially ineffective on carpet, as in a car. Additionally, this thing is NOISY.

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.

Great suction time

This particular model is very loud. Louder than other hand vacuums (Bissell, Shark) we have had in the past. Also, the attachment for this vacuum isnt very useful. It cannot reach hard to reach places due to its short length. Overall, I would not repurchase.

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.

now I can clean two cars in one charge, lasted 20+ min in one charge. and the suctioning power is the best amongst all portable rechargeable car vacums I’ve had. I read some negative reviews about missing charger and battery, I wonder if they are aware that there is an option to go with the with or without the charger and battery if you have other black and decker tools. I bought the one with charger and battery directly from amazon. Remember to select amazon as the seller when checking out and not the third party sellers. the only negative thing I can think of is that it only came with one attachment but it is the only attachment you’ll need anyways.

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

The filter is very difficult to remove for cleaning and the filter handle is fragile. For this reason I would look at other options for hand held vacuums. I was looking for a portable hand vac to clean the interior of my car. My older hand vac was great for picking up crumbs, etc. but not strong enough to clean upholstery and floor mats. This vacuum exceeded my expectations. It works nearly as well as the suction machines at Car Washes. I also like having a removable battery, though it is a little cumbersome to switch back and forth between recharging the battery pack and removing it to clean. Still, I would purchase this again.

Ive owned several B&D handhelds in the past and my biggest complaint has been the battery. They are not replaceable unless you want get into soldering on lithiums which can be dangerous if you not big into DIY. This problem has solved when they went to the 20v Max battery system. Without going into all of the reasons for using a cordless handheld this unit excels at all of them.
