BLACK+DECKER 20V Max Handheld Vacuum, Cordless, Grey (BDH2000PL)

This is honestly the best handheld vacuum I have ever used! Its so easy to use, easy to empty and even clean. You can detach the bin to rinse out and take out filter to empty and rinse if you so choose. As a mom this has been one of my best investments. I can do a quick cleanup in the car, couches, and kitchen. The bristle attachment that folds down on end helps get up stubborn pet fur off upholstery. I accidentally broke the bin door when tapped it on garbage can to release dust but I used duct tape to keep it closed and it still works like new. The battery seems to go forever. Im not sure exact time, but I got carried away cleaning car and made through whole car cleaning except when i did a twice over. My car is filthy...it charges pretty quickly and has a blue light to indicate that its still charging. When im done with it, i empty bin and put it on the stand/charger. Its always ready to go whenever I need it....which is often.

This hand vac is CRAZY STRONG! When I first opened the box and saw the vacuum I loved the look, loved the extremely light weight of it, loved the ability to adjust the position but I was very concerned about the size of vacuum spout that sucks up the dirt. Its smaller than most others. I have a shark hand vacuum and the suction size of this B&D is roughly 1/3 of the size. BUT........ It had a a bit of a charge so I gave it a try on a runner rug I have in my entryway...... I vacuum it every single day because we come and go and we also have a dog. So, its continually getting lots of dust and debris or what not. This hand vacuum is so strong and works so well that I had to find the right angle for the vacuum itself so it would not suck the runner rug up! I got about half of the runner done before the little bit of charge it had in it died and when I looked at what was in the vacuum dirt holder I was shocked! There was so much dirt, sand and dog hair that was vacuumed up that I couldnt believe my eyes! I took pictures. What you are seeing is less than half of my 5 ft X 2 ft runner rug that was vacuumed with the Black & Decker AND I had JUST vacuumed it with my Shark last night! I poured the dirt out onto a paper plate so you can really see what was in there however there is still a ton of dirt caked on the plastic of the interior. THIS HAND VAC IS POWERFUL. Im keeping it. My only complaint is the size of the suction because it takes a little longer when it covers less area but that is easy for me to overlook given the power if this vacuum. I highly doubt there is any other hand vacuum as strong as this one and I cant wait til its fully charged to go and finish the job on all of my runners as well as in my car!

I purchased this last August and had a problem with it recently. I contacted their representative and they took my information and promptly sent me a replacement with no questions asked. I really like this for my small apartment and recommend their products.

Powerful suction and very sturdy

Over the last decades, I have had many manual vacuums...starting with corded ones and on to battery-powered ones. I chose this one after expertly reviewing customers reviews. I agree with most favorable assessments: this is a good handheld vacuum. I like the filter set-up for cleaning, and I especially like the sucking force! Unfortunately, the head/mouth of the device is such that it is too close to the ground so particles as high as 2-3mm are passed over. There is plenty of suction power to get them but the vacuum mouth has no way to lead them in . You just have to raise the vacuum to get them in on the 2nd or 3rd pass. Otherwise a well-working product worth its extra cost for the power.

Im disappointed in the battery life. I bought this in 2016 and the battery stopped being useful in 2020. I have to park outside and not near my building. Now when I use this to clean my car, it lasts for about a minute. I turn it off, wait, then try for another minute. I leave it sitting in the charger all the time. Does the cleanliness of the filter have anything to do with the battery life? Are there any handheld vacs that have good reliable battery life?

I read several reviews before deciding on this item. I agree with most that this is great for the vehicle. It has great suction, an extension spout for slender areas that are otherwise hard to get to and a little flip out brush to loosen hair from the carpet. I haven’t used it anywhere other than my car, because that’s what I purchased it for, but would imagine that it would be good anywhere you need to vacuum a small space. It holds a charge fine for me to clean out my 2 cars.

I have another hand vacuum from the same brand, but do not like it nearly half as much as I love this one. This hand vacuum is an amazing size, you can fold the nozzle when you are finished for space purposes. It is easy to charge. The charger is not huge. The suction is amazing easy cleaning. Nothing to install. I use this hand vacuum mostly to clean my sofas. It is extremely durable.

The fold-up feature is wicked convenient! I was looking at a few different hand vacs and got this one on a whim, unsure if the folding feature would actually be useful. I sh!t you not, I wont buy a straight one again! Empties easy, all the built-in tools work the same, I like it, glad I bought it.

This is my second hand vac from B&D. After several years I wore mine out and made sure to order the exact same vacumn.
