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

I needed a vacuum for my car inside compact and the other vacuum. I have was a problem at the car wash with similar could get into spaces but this vacuum can and dead. It’s a wonderful device good suction good control just excellent!

I love the vacuum, especially the section power. However the docking station is flimsy. Hard to get the vacuum in right. I had the older model and the docking station was sturdy and easy to access.

Ordered this based on many positive reviews in October 2022. We used it about every 2 weeks to vacuum out our cars (1 full charge would work for my mid-sized SUV.) Occasionally, we used it in the home for some crumbs on the carpet after the kids had a snack. I emptied it after each use and was gentle on it. Suddenly, it just stopped working in mid-May - the base charger wont connect and light up the unit - I know the vacuum still works as there is a little battery left and I can turn it on. So am I out $80 after only 7 months? It says on amazon that the product support window is closed as is the return window (as of mid-January.) So my next option is to try to take advantage of the 2 year limited warranty provided by Black and Decker. I will try to update this when I get more information from them. ::: UPDATE: Calling their support line was easy and I got a real human being who quickly verified my purchase and is sending me a new base charger. Phew! I upped the stars from 1 to 4.

We used this hand vac daily for 3 years. Its a great little vacuum - really picks up dirt, dust and debris. But after 3 years, the battery is getting weak and it now runs only for a couple of minutes before being unusable. Its very easy to get to the battery pack: remove the vac barrel; remove two screws from the case: slip off the side cover; slip the battery out of the case; disconnect the quick disconnect; and, its ready for a replacement battery pack. Except that there are no replacement battery packs! The battery part number is 515LPFC, but B+D doesnt carry them, nor does Amazon nor any of the parts houses. The battery pack case can easily be opened to reveal a circuit board and 5 battery cells. But the battery cells are welded onto their connectors, so they cannot easily be removed, and they are completely covered by the case so that any identifying marks are hidden. It may be possible to break the welds on the batteries, but it will take more than a soldering iron to do so. Without any means to replace the failing battery, that means that the entire unit must be discarded. I give 5 stars for the vacuum, but only 1 star for the unavailability of replacement batteries, so that averages out to 3 stars.

This handheld vacuum is a compact and versatile option for anyone in need of a handheld vacuum. While it does have some positive features, it also has some drawbacks to consider. On the positive side, this handheld vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it great for quick cleanups around the house or in the car. It also has a strong suction power that does a decent job of picking up small debris like crumbs, pet hair, and dust. The crevice tool and brush attachment are also handy for reaching tight spaces and upholstery. However, the battery life is not great. It only lasts for around 10-15 minutes on a single charge, which may not be enough for larger cleaning tasks. Additionally, the dustbin is small and needs to be emptied frequently, which can be inconvenient. Another issue with this handheld vacuum is the noise level. It is quite loud, which can be irritating if you need to use it for an extended period of time. This vacuum is a decent option for small cleanups: The strong suction power and handy attachments are positives, but the short battery life and loud noise level may be a dealbreaker for some users.

I love this little vac. It has great suction & can get into smaller spaces. I used it for the carpet on my stairs & it gets right to the edges. It is lightweight & easy to use. Highly recommend!!

I agree with all the good things people say about the vac., and I have had this vac about a week. It is easy to clean, although debris/ dust collects at rubber flap that has to be finger pulled out. The filter fills up with almost every use and needs to be pulled out and shaken to clean, or can be cleaned with a shop vac, or washed. The enclosed manual states, after its fully charged, you should unplug after 24 hours, which is kind of a pain to remember, plus I store the vac on my floor and have to bend my back to unplug the vac. Otherwise, I really like it, better than my previous weaker hand vac.

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 the vacuum after much research and I was not disappointed! Overall, I am incredibly happy with the product but here are a few things to consider before buying them yourself: Pros: It looks very sleek. It looks really good on its charging port as well! I dont mind displaying out in the open. It also is quite compact when stored in its charging dock which is a plus. Its suction is great! I think that was the number one thing that I was looking for in a hand held vacuum as ones in the past had issues with this. Cons: The one gripe I have with this vacuum and for you to consider is that its actually a little awkward using it. The head is a lot shorter than it looks in the picture and it makes it awkward to hold for some reason. Its probably more of my own preference than anything but something to consider. ***update*** Ive had this product for several months now and it is still working great!!! Suction still works great, battery life is good and its cleaned up quite a bit of mess for us in the last few month. But, there is one more thing for the buyer to consider that I noticed with more use. There is a rubber lip inside that prevents anything sucked into the vacuum from coming out. It works great for that purpose. But, one continuous issue I am having is bigger particles getting stuck in-between the lip and the filter. There isnt a whole lot of space between them and anything bigger than dust will get stuck there. When I go to dump the mess in the trash, I often have to reach in there and pick out whatever is wedged in there. Not a deal breaker by any means, but nevertheless an annoyance for you to consider. ***update*** Recently, after having the product for about 6 months, the hinge on my vacuum broke. I recently read a review that indicated the same issue. For the overall good quality of the rest of the vacuum, this plastic hinge for the door is a little disappointing. We have used it daily, so by no means has the vacuum been handled with delicacy. BUT, who has time to treat their vacuum delicately! It just needs to work to clean up all of those messes your kids make! I could not find any way to contact costumer service on Amazon so decided to go to their website directly. Their website is not the easiest to navigate and finding the contact information too a few minutes but once I put in my request, I received a response within a few days. They did not have any spare parts or had any solutions for a fix but they were able to send me a replacement unit for free of charge. I know Amazon has you buy a 2 year warranty but I saw on the Black and Decker website that the two year warranty was included in the purchase. Not sure if it does not apply to the batch on Amazon but I have a hard time seeing black and decker not honoring the warranty. I dont know if I was covered or they were being nice, but I do appreciate the good customer service! So if you have a similar issue and your vacuum is less than 2 years old, try contacting them directly about the issue. Besides the hinge, this is still a great vacuum.

This is the best hand held vacuum we have had, and we have had many. Time will tell but so far it’s good. Great pickup.
