BLACK+DECKER 20V Lithium Compact Hand VAC, BDH2000L

Works well but requires charging frequently

Very sturdy and easy to use. Great to use for easy job that you dont want to get out the vacuum.

I am able to keep my kitchen and cars free of food crumbs. It goes nicely into a corner.

Love Love .. this is amazing!! First it came so fast!! Second.. it works great. I bought this for my new car and it works perfectly fine for me. My husband used it on his truck and really liked it. Best Buy !!

UPDATE: It is now 2019(!), and I have been using this vacuum for 6 years now. It still functions, and I am still using the original filter. Nothing has changed from my original review, there are still things I would like to change about this product (specifically the way the top locks - or doesnt lock - into place consistently) but the fact that I have gotten 6 years of use out of a handheld vacuum is unprecedented so far for me so I am happy to overlook that flaw. No broken parts, battery still holds a decent charge (I get about 20 minutes of uninterrupted vacuuming out of it at this point, which is more than enough for small cleanups), and the vacuum basically functions as it did when I purchased it. This appears to be a solid product with a reasonable price point and proven durability, so it still gets 5 stars from me. ______________________________________ Original review below: ______________________________________ After several negative experiences with other vacuums, I wanted to wait to do a long-term review of this product because, for me, how a vacuum cleaner holds up to prolonged use is more important than my first impressions. I have now been using this vacuum for 2 years, so I feel pretty confident in giving this product 5 stars (i.e. I love it, with a few minor nitpicks). Why I bought this vacuum: I wanted something to quickly pick up small amounts of debris without having to haul out the much heavier and more cumbersome upright vacuum. I keep it plugged into its dock in the main living area, so I can quickly grab it whenever needed. Things I love: After buying this vacuum, I got golden retriever puppy, so its safe to say that about 90% of what Im vacuuming up nowadays has some amount of dog hair in it. Even though I didnt buy this for handling pet hair, this vacuum handles it flawlessly. In fact, I frequently use it to grab up the stray tumbleweeds of dog hair that often migrate into the various corners of the house (pet people youve probably dealt with this before). Youll need something much more powerful to get the pet hair out of carpets and furniture, but for hardwood floors, tile and other hard surfaces, it works great. For those who dont have pets, theres still plenty of uses for this thing. I use it to grab stray crumbs on the kitchen floor in between deep cleanings. Its great at picking up small leaves and dirt that get tracked in near the doorways. During the Christmas season, this vacuum is my go-to for picking up the Christmas tree needles which inevitably end up scattered everywhere (much like the dog hair!) So, in summary, Id say that the vacuum is absolutely great for cleaning small to moderate amounts of debris off of pretty much any type of hard surface. I wouldnt recommend using it to clean pet hair or debris out of carpets or upholstery, although it can do so, provided its not embedded very deeply. Cleaning: The vacuum is bagless and can be disassembled into 5 pieces for cleaning which you can see in the photo. Its a pretty straightforward process since most of the pieces are plastic. Theres a cloth filter which can also be cleaned or replaced, as needed. The filter pops out and can be emptied into a trash bin, the full disassembly is only required if you want to clean all the parts (I tend to do this after 2-3 times of just emptying the cartridge). After cleaning, I like to put a couple of drops of essential oils (peppermint, etc) on the filter, which gives the room a nice smell while vacuuming. So far the filter and all internal parts have held up well with only cosmetic damage from scuffs, etc. Cons: Theres not much to mention here, but a couple small things worth noting: 1. The top of the vacuum cleaner is one solid piece that has to be clipped into the rest of the body of the vacuum. It can sometimes seem like it is locked in but, if you do not do this correctly, the end will fall off during vacuuming. This can be annoying, as you have to stop and re-attach it again. Id recommend future models include a better locking mechanism, or at least something that holds together a bit better. 2. Battery life is good; however after 2 years of moderate to heavy use, I get about 10 minutes of solid vacuuming before the battery dies out. Id say this represents an overall degradation of about 50%, given that, when new, the vacuum could handle about 20 minutes before needing a recharge. This is, of course, a rough estimation, and I havent compared performance to other vacuum models, just something to be aware of. It doesnt bother me much given that I only use it for small amounts of debris and not for vacuuming the entire house at once. Who would I recommend this for? -Anyone who has hard floors or surfaces they want to clean, without the hassle of a full-size vacuum. -Dorm use -Studio apartments -People with pets who want a quick way to get hair out of their (non-carpeted) surfaces

Ive always had a Dustbuster and they usually last for years. I use mine every day, particularly to pick up dog hair. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is so unbelievably loud. Maybe it will get less noisy as time goes on but its really annoying to listen to while using it. Also, the description says that it can be wall mounted, like all the other ones Ive had, but thats not the case with this one. It sits on a round charging station which Ive had to place on a shelf instead of the wall. Not a big deal in my situation but others might not have the space for it.

I moved from a small condo in the city to a home in the country side and got a dog. This vacuum has been a life saver. Its compact, powerful, easy to empty, easy to use and recharge. If youve never live in a rural setting, you dont know how many bugs get into your house. I couldnt believe how many flies, stink bugs, wasps, lady bugs, all sorts of devilish creatures were getting in. Talking to my coworkers, they said yep thats normal. Enter the B+D handheld vacuum. Just turn it on and bring it close to the bug and WHOOSH into bug jail. My partner hates looking into suction chamber, she says its some kind of house of insect horrors. The other thing is how much my dog sheds. Very easily Ill sweep and collect all the hair into a pile and the vacuum will make quick work of it. Truly, this vacuum has allowed me to keep my sanity. Its also great to vacuum out all the crumblies in my car. Oh and I just learned on Tik Tok the suction tip extends! You wont go wrong buying this thing.

Oh, this beauty is so powerful!!!l Make sure you charge overnight and then you are good to go! Did the whole stairs beautifully - tons of dust and hair were no match for it! I was so tickled by it, I then walked around the rest of my 4000 sq ft home looking for dust bunnies!!!! Get it. You wont regret it!!

I’ve had this vac for several months now and I’m pleased with the performance. I use it mostly for cleaning my car and quick floor cleanups. The battery life has never died and I especially like the table top stand—no more drilling holes in the wall. I also like that the brush attachment and long flat attachment are both on the machine so there’s no need to search for them when needed, you just flip one or the other up.

This thing has changed my life. I use it almost daily. Perfect for small spaces around the house. Did great with dog hair and seats in my car. Making vacuuming all our stairs a breeze!! I love it
