BLACK+DECKER 20V Lithium Compact Hand VAC, BDH2000L

Very portable and compact. Well built and gets the job done in my truck and my furniture after my Shepherd lounges around during the day while I am at work.

I bought this to avoid using my house vacuum and an extension cord to clean my vehicle. Now I can clean on the go quickly between work and kids and absolutely love it. Its sleek and easy to clean and worth every penny. Arrived to my home in HI very fast and am very satisfied with my purchase and the useful tools upo it. Its a bit loud but doesnt bother me as my vehicle or any touch ups of debris in my home as well wherever having pets too is super handy! I love it and dont regret this purchase and it keeps my home and vehicle tidy and neat and appearing in order like I prefer.

I love how it cleans everything I want it to clean (debrief, dust, etc) but battery life is short. I think it charges fast though

We purchased this Dustbuster to replace a 10-year old model because the rechargeable battery (which is not replaceable) in the old one wasnt holding a charge for more than a few minutes. This new one, with a lithium battery, holds a charge much longer than the old one (even when new), and seems to have better suction.

If you dont want to read, heres the summary : It was an excellent vacuum for the first month, although there were some issues with the way the vacuum was designed. After about 2 months, the battery started going. Now, after having the vacuum for 3 months, it lasts for about half as long as it used to, the crevice tool is broken, and the vacuums suction is only strong for about 10 minutes. Three months ago when I bought this, it was a great vacuum. Here were the perks : - Excellent suction - Doesnt blow dust out of the back - Easy to empty - Lightweight - Built-in crevice tool means you dont lose it, and its easy to use (and clean). Great for getting underneath stuff Initial drawbacks : - The vents in the dust cup get clogged with dust immediately and are difficult to clean - The connection the vacuum makes with the charging station is precarious. You have to be careful to make sure it turns on and that it doesnt get jostled while charging. - The vacuum doesnt seem to last as long as it should (maybe about 30 minutes). When it starts to lose power, it takes about 5-10 minutes to fully die, but during that time it becomes increasingly useless, depositing anything larger than dust if you tilt it slightly while cleaning. Other vacuums Ive had in the past remained powerful for a longer period of time before completely dying. - This vacuum doesnt have quite as much suction as the best handheld Ive had, but it also doesnt blow half of the dirt and dust it collects out of the back of the vacuum while youre using it. It WILL, however, blow some dust out of the back, so dont put your face behind it. - Like every other handheld vacuum Ive found, the crevice tool and nozzle will easily scratch a lot of soft surfaces like the top of large plastic bins and soft wood floors, desks, and countertops. You have to be careful with what you use it on. How I used this vacuum for the past 3 months : - Vacuum was used, on average, probably about once every week and a half to two weeks - When used, vacuum would sometimes be used for two sessions in one day, with about 3-5 hours of charging in-between. - Emptied vacuum when 1/2 to 3/4ths full - Tapped out dust cap each time - Scraped dust out of clogged vents in dust cap - About half the time, I allowed the vacuum to die fully before charging it fully. - Vacuum was constantly kept on the charger and usually plugged in. - Vacuum was used for light pickup - dust, dirt, flour, crumbs, small amounts of pet hair on upholstery, mouse poo...you get the point Heres my review after 3 months : - The crevice tool started to not click into place and the problem got progressively worse. Now it barely clicks, comes loose, and starts to slide into the vacuum during use. It seems to happen as a result of the crevice tool bumping into things. The connection just isnt very strong to begin with. The crevice tool only works well if you hold it so its nearly flat against the surface. Otherwise, there isnt enough suction. - The amount of time the vacuum can be used for has decreased from about 30 minutes to about 15 minutes - The is only at its highest suction for maybe 10 minutes How this vacuum compares to handhelds Ive used in the past : Whats better : - Suction was almost as good as the best handheld Ive had - Blew out far less dust than most, including the best handheld Ive had - Easier to use than most - Better at getting into nooks and under things - Easier to tell when the vacuum is full - The curvature of the design makes the vacuum more maneuverable - The crevice tool makes the vacuum incredibly versatile - The vacuum is effective on upholstery and mattresses, unlike many Whats worse : - The suction stayed powerful for a much shorter period of time, with a longer stretch of sub par vacuuming ability - The battery seemed less and less effective starting at two months, and now appears to be half as effective as it was when I purchased the vacuum - The vents on the dust cup clog almost immediately, causing unnecessary stress on the unit - The charging port does not make as firm of a connection with the device as other handhelds do - If the vacuum is bumped or jostled slightly while charging it will misalign with the connection. Youll come back hours later and it will still be dead. - The click into place aspect of the crevice tool wears down very quickly when the crevice tool bumps against things, and will eventually stop working - The hard plastic crevice tool scratches soft surfaces easily, and the brush attachment does very little. Its also very easy to accidentally angle the vacuum wrong when using the brush attachment, causing the bottom of the crevice tool to scrape against the surface. - The crevice tool does not have much suction or power, so you need to hold it almost flat against the surface youre vacuuming to get it to have suction, which makes it far less versatile. - After 3 months, this vacuum is no longer appropriate for cleaning upholstery Changes I would like to see : - Better connection with the charging station - Flexible rubber crevice tool OR a removable rubber cover for the top of the crevice tool - Multi-layered venting system for dust cup that can be easily disassembled for cleaning - UV light for inside of dust cup to kill dust mites and dust mite eggs - Removable and replaceable dust-filter attachment specifically designed for vacuuming dust. - Ability to use corded, or cordless - Longer-lasting battery - Suction that has more staying power (can probably be achieved by redesigning dust cup) - Free, cheap, or DIY battery replacement If youre anything like me, you wouldnt mind paying more for at least ONE handheld that had the POTENTIAL for some of these features, even if it doesnt necessarily come with them. I dont mind paying extra for my toppings, as long as toppings are possible. This could be a great product that really sets itself apart.

Keep this handy little vacuum in the garage and use it frequently to clean the interior of our vehicles. Good suction,convenient charging station and seems to be good quality. Does the job

I love this hand vac: it’s extremely efficient, lightweight, and easy to use, although it is VERY loud — like a jet taking off. It does a great job in small places ( like a car interior) due to its adjustable nozzle. Even the charging and recharging is basically cordless, as it has a charging plate or dock — it’s like hanging up your phone. There’s a convenient blue indicator light when it’s charging. I even use the hand vac on my carpet to clean up or freshen it instead of dragging out my canister vacuum. Without question, it has all the suction you need, really as powerful as my regular vacuum cleaner.

As with other reviews, it is pretty loud. Having said that, the short amount of time I actually use it, the noise isnt an issue for me. If quieter means less suction, then I will deal with the noise. Works great!

Bought this one to replace an older portable vacuum (died after 15 years). It uses electro-magnetic charging where you just place it on the base and it charges. Its a very strong vacuum and surpasses our older one. It uses the non-bag method filtering. It doesnt take long before its time to empty the container. I suggest emptying it sooner than later. Its a pain to empty any of the canister-type vacuums if you let the debris get higher than the full line. Otherwise you will have to use a elongate probe to pull the debris down to be able to remove it. All in all, this vacuum is strong and picks up everything we use it for i.e. cat litter, crumbs, dirt, hair, small food particles etc.

I find this cordless vac to be pretty impressive with several nice features. It has strong suction and the battery charge lasts a long time. The throat can be easily extended for a greater reach, which is quite handy. I also like the charger set up, where the vac just rests upright in the charger base until its needed. No wall hanger required. The charger is really simple to use, unlike what some reviewers shared. You just sit it down on the charger base and a blue light indicates when it is properly in place to charge. We just keep the charger base pretty much out of sight in a corner beside an end table. Makes it nice and handy for small jobs. Weve owned it a couple of months and found no faults with it so far. Easily rates a 5 at this point in my opinion.
