BLACK+DECKER 20V Lithium Compact Hand VAC, BDH2000L

Sleek design, lightweight. Extendable nozzle with flip-down brush. Good for picking up dust and hair from hard floors. I use it in conjunction with a dust mop. Two filters; one plastic pre-filter that covers secondary filter which is for finer particles. The nozzle can be turned to different angles by pressing releases on the canister. The description mentioned wall mount but I don’t think that can happen as it sits on the base. It functions well but is noisy.

For about one years time, on and off, I have tried to find a cordless vacuum to be used primarily in my car. I knew that above all else it must use a lithium battery because my previous hand vac (and plenty of other devices) used Nickel Cadmium batteries. They are so consistently terrible that I refuse to ever buy something that uses Ni-Cd batteries again. My last hand vac being a Dirt Devil which was useable for about 5 minutes at best, and though I tried to maintain the battery properly it was still ruined within about a year. One of my favorite websites to shop is Woot.com and they frequently sell vacuums of all shapes and sizes from Dyson. I had bought (and I do really like) my DC-25 upright ball vacuum. So I was leaning heavily toward buying a cordless DC-34 vacuum which can be used as a hand-held or as a floor vac. The major downside: They are insanely expensive! The best price youll likely see is about $170 for a refurb. Two other things persuaded me to look elsewhere as well: The battery lasts about 10 minutes at best (but usually about 7 minutes of usefulness), and the thing is rather large and bulky for a hand vac. So, off to the web I went to try and find a vacuum with decent ratings and a lithium battery. I eventually stumbled upon the Black & Decker CHV1410L. Im glad I did. The vacuum features an attractive design, its compact, its got an absolutely tiny charging base (and still functional, happily), and other course...a lithium battery. One likely wont need the users guide to figure out how everything works. Disassembling, cleaning, reassembling, and using the vac are all quite intuitive. Still, the manual offers all the information youll need while being brief. You can read the entire guide in just a few minutes. Happily the vacuum is a bag-less canister design, and the filter is a mesh design which is easy to clean. Aside from the battery eventually wearing out, theres nothing else youll need to buy or replace in the lifetime of this vacuum. A major improvement over older hand vacuums to be sure. Not bags, no foam or paper filters! Right out the box I put the vacuum on its charging base and the battery was full within an hour. One thing to note is the extremely bright charging indicator. While it doesnt bother me I was still surprised how bright it is. You can practically use the thing as a night light ;-) The charging base itself is refreshingly small, simple, and functional. Its a disc perhaps 5 inches in diameter, virtually flat, and the vacuum simply rests on top of it. Its very easy to seat the vacuum on it and getting it to charge. The vacuum itself is very light weight and Im glad that they went with a tapered design for the business end of the nozzle. It makes vacuuming tight spaces much easier and gets the job done well. The nozzle features an interesting flip down brush which is convenient since you dont have to worry about losing the attachment but unfortunately only half of the assembly has bristles. It works well enough but Im thinking itd be better to have a full brush attachment. Suction for the vacuum is excellent and compares to a floor vac with hose attachment for effectiveness. It actually outperforms the aging plug-in canister vacuum I had been using to clean my car. Out with the old, in with the new I suppose! And this one is cordless! Noise level is less so than most floor vacs but this device isnt exactly quiet. Im not complaining about the noise level but you wouldnt want to vacuum in the middle of the night. Your family and neighbors wouldnt appreciate it! ;-) Battery life is very good for a cordless vacuum. Thus far Ive only needed it for about 5 minutes at a time but I did use it once for approximately 10 minutes straight and the suction was mostly consistent. I notice that the suction is strongest the first 2 minutes of use, it then drops off a bit but is still fairly consistent the rest of the way through. Consider the first couple of minutes Turbo Mode or something like that! In any case its a huge improvement over my previous Ni-Cd vac which was useable for only 5 minutes before beginning the steady decline to uselessness. A note: Disassembly and cleaning are a breeze, though you might have to fidget with the nozzle to get it to lock down tight with the base. Try rotating the nozzle assembly back and forth to get it locked down. If you dont the nozzle end might fall off during use. One thing to consider though is that youll be paying far more for this cordless vac than you would for a corded one. You can find a corded hand vac that performs just as well for $40 or less. Is the premium worth the convenience of a cordless vacuum? For me, yes it is. But if the price bothers you Id strongly recommend a plug-in vacuum over the future landfill youll otherwise buy if you go for a cheap cordless. Ni-Cd batteries are garbage! So, in closing. This is an excellent cordless vacuum with powerful suction, a good design, and at least 10 minutes of useful battery life. Id recommend purchasing it over ANY vac with Ni-Cd battery. Look for pricing to be $80 or less.

I have an older one and really love it. Needed another one for my downstairs area. It has good suction and easy to clean. I really like how it sits on the charging station base. I keep my old one near the toilet area and it also serves as a night light in the dark room.

I purchased this to clean up around my kids dinner table seats and work fabulous! Great for craft times messes, vacuumed out my car with it, crumbs on sofa, shoes track in dirt and a quick cleanup! Keeps charge nicely and very light weight.

It has a very powerful suction and is easy to clean. I have used it not more than 5 min at a time so Im not sure how long the battery would last. But I know it works great for at least 5 min.

This was much louder than I expected. The suction worked pretty well though ( compared to another hand vacuum I had gotten ), and overall, I was pleased with its performance. However, on a full charge, it did not last long enough for me to thoroughly vacuum a small room ( I did not time it, but most likely was around 10-15 mins ), and required multiple charges to finish vacuuming. This most likely will not be an issue if you are using this SOLELY for very small pickup tasks, but even for my car, if I wanted to thoroughly vacuum it, I would imagine it would require multiple charges. It charges standing upright on a charging base and the base of the vacuum lights up to let you when charging. The canister is a good size and easy to clean and you could also see the contents of the canister ( see through ), so you know when it needs to be emptied. After using it, I am lacking confidence in this vacuums longevity ( the sound is very loud and makes it seem like it is working harder than it should ), and after reading another review that the battery is NOT replaceable ( once the battery dies, the whole product is not usable ), I decided to write this review as I realized this is not in line with what I am looking for. I am looking for a QUALITY product, made very well, that will last a long long time, one that has replaceable components & battery ( so you could continue using it without it being dependent on individual parts ). I would like to support products that are designed and constructed to last a lifetime! Also, for my usage, of needing a smaller sized vacuum for small tasks, I realized that perhaps a hand vacuum may not be sufficient for this purpose. So a heads-up for those of you who are looking for something similar.

Really sucks! Really. Cordless charging is great and saves me from dragging out the Shark to tidy up. Buy it!

I can see why some folks hate this or have bad things to say. Let me start with this - This is a great little tool to have around the house with 4 children running around the house. Theres never a clean floor and we always find pockets of crumbs from the snacks your giving to them every 30 minutes. I digress 1. Portability and cordless feature is a saint. Works great but dont expect miracles on carpeted floors. 2. Were using this on LVP floors and stairs that are also wood flooring. I have some areas of carpet in our bdrms that this doenst perform to standards. 3. Most importantly - you gotta clean the filter right. When emptying the canister unscrew the plastic and shake it off outside so you dont breath in all that crap. This is why most this cleaner will fail on most ppl. All the connecting pieces are made of plastic and keeping those areas securely tight and keeping the filter in the canister clean and prevent it from being heavily soiled will bring longevity to the cleaner and suction power. 4. Suction isnt great but its a portable vac itll too just fine for you to sweep up a floor and corner all the garbage and take it up with this guy. I like it, have no regrets. Originally after a couple days use we thought of returning it but we found ourselves reaching for it too often and so it stays. Good product from a 150 year old company

Very impressed so far. It’s a good idea to integrate the additional nozzle tools into the nozzle itself, although I miss not having a carpet attachment. Very powerful. Fast recharging. Easy to empty. It takes a little while to get used to setting the vacuum cleaner back on the charger base, as it simply balances on it at a slight angle.

I ordered this to replace a smaller vac that died last month. This has great suction, is easy to clean, charges quickly, and does an overall great job, BUT.....both the canister and the suction tip are a bit bulkier than expected, and its not quite as good at getting into cracks and crevices as my old one was.
