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

Writing this May of 2022, bought mine on Sep 27, 2020, and other than emptying out the main container when it filled Id not properly cleaned it once or replaced the filter (in fact I came across the spare filter a few months back and not recognizing it am afraid I may have tossed it) .... Why yes even the most robust hand vacuums need to have their filters cleaned occasionally... Ive been using mine about a full year and Im not over stating it when I say I NEVER cleaned it, only reason I even thought to do it was because the contents of my paper shredder had spilled over and theres SO much dust in that that my brain kind of went, that must be tough on the filters ... Pulled it apart for the first time, the filters were completely full, and the space between the filter and plastic casing was completely full... and just a few minutes before it was STILL sucking bits of paper and stuff up off the floor. So I washed it... went after the filter (inside the folds and at top where the plastic overlaps it) with a shellfish fork, cleaning out bits of junk the water couldnt clear out (warning, do it over the garbage disposal or youll clog your sink) ... once that was all cleaned out, saw the clear plastic casing that has tiny holes in it, and about half of the holes were full of junk that were stuck in there blocking air flow. Took to it with a pin, pushing the bits out (they were all hard bits of I dont know what) and then rinsed the holes clean ... am still waiting for it to dry, but Im impressed. ALL that dirt was in there and it was STILL working... if it works flawlessly once the bits have had time to dry out Im going to hug it --- next day, it dried, and is once again working flawlessly

We read all the reviews of this vacuum. The number one complaint was the battery not lasting. That is why we chose to buy the extended warranty. We use the vacuum in our car and it does a better job then the ones you pay for at car washes. It’s wonderful for quick pick ups around the house and especially nice to vacuum furniture and under cushions.

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.

I bought this for small cleanups in the kitchen but I have used it for so much more. It is the best small vacuum Ive ever had from the pivoting head to the easy empty cannister. The suction is phenomenal and I couldnt be happier with this purchase. You have to get one, you wont be disappointed.

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.

Super product and best on the market for suction, width of nozzle, battery/charging power, large canister size, etc etc. Has a washable and very durable filter inside. It is a solidly manufactured, heavyweight monster in a good way. Bends in all different directions. Pricey but worth it in a weird way, see below. Im on my third one. But not for the best reason. The bummer: Ive used for one reason only - to suck up cat litter that my cats toes kick out or drop when the exit the box. In doing so, it also sucks up some of my own hair (bathroom). Sometimes used for kitchen floor corners, but rarely - because it is used for the cat litter box area. In each of the three times Ive purchased the same exact model/unit, it has worked PERFECTLY until just one day you get a loud GRINDING sound and a perfectly electrically smoky smell as though something is burning. Cleaned it out, made sure nothing was stuck in it, was very careful...to no avail. Too late to return to Amazon, and Black and Decker basically doesnt exist if you try to get hold of them to execute on the limited warranty. (Limited because no one answers the phone or replies to emails.) So, whatever, I figured it was a one-off. Ordered another. SAME THING. I mean, I only have to use it MAYBE once a day for less than 30 seconds. Another couple years of keeping it clean and taking good care of it and yep, GRINDING & BURNING SMELL. THIRD time around I ordered a different brand and model. Didnt like it; returned...just not comparable. Ordered three others over a few weeks and none compared to the quality of this Black and Decker. None were as expensive as this one either. Flummoxed, I finally gave in and ordered the THIRD one, which Im currently using. I give it a year. Is it worth the cost? Your decision. For ease of use, quality of suction and all of the above, I think Ill end up buying a new one every couple of years. I dont want to do the math but 30 seconds x 365 days x2 divided by whatever I spent on it is, I guess, worth it. What really bums me out is the massive plastic waste - not earth friendly. Nothing sucks up cat litter (or small particles) as this one does, not even a hand broom. So, dont say I didnt tell you. When I ordered a replacement the second time, I saw that some others had the same experience. Yet, others loved it. All I can say is that at this point, I agree with both. Even those who experienced this major flaw say that it is an otherwise excellent, superior, product. Keep the box and receipt, and the box it was mailed to you in, in case it dies on you and you want to return before the Amazon return period ends.

This is great great suction, easy to use, the best yet!

Powerful suction and very sturdy

TL/wr: A great performer with minor quibbles. I ordered this to replace the older green and white model that had worked well enough for year as long as I replaced the battery every second year or so. As I was about to buy another $25 dollar battery and go through the hassle of dissasembly, I thought about new battery technology and started looking for a hand-vac upgrade. Interestingly enough all reviews and price point led me to the newer model of the vacuum Id had for years. Ive used it for a year now for the general chores of (dry) coffee spills dusting in corners etc. Its main use is strewn cat litter when cleaning up around the box. Its used at least four to five times a week for this purpose so after a year I feel the vac has had a good trial. Compared to the older model it definitely has more suction and the suction lasts longer. Ive noticed no significant drop in performance over this year while the old model would have already started to show some recharge fatigue. It retains the okay crevice tool/extension and the small flip down brush for whatever a small flip down brush is good for. Break down and cleaning remain exactly the same as the old model and two of my favorite features is how easy it is to empty and the washable final filter. Whats not so good? I have only two quibbles that knocked off the fifth star. Neither are insurmountable but I dont give five stars easily. One: The new upright charger stand style is a downgrade from the previous model and it can be a little fiddly to get it to seat. Two: the routing of the exhaust (same as the old model) tends to blow the mess away from the vacuum just as youre trying to pick it up so you have to sort of chase the bits around the counter/floor from several different angles making all jobs take longer than if the exhaust was a re-routed or better diffused. In summary: Id buy it again and I think it really hits a sweet spot in price/performance ratio.

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!
