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

This hand vac was ranked best by a NYTs article and another best hand vacs of 2023 article. The one minus mentioned was the small cup capacity. What was not mentioned was that the area between where the nozzle dumps into the cup will clog if you pick up ANYTHING other than dust. You then have to stick your fingers into the cup and drag out the debris making sure you get it out of the nozzle where it gets stuck. In my case it is dog hair from a 10 lb doxie (not a lot of shedding) so if you have any pet that is a heavy shedder this will not be the hand vac for you. If you are picking up fine dust the suction is great.

Bought this to aid in the collection of multi-colored Asian beetles that seem to invade our home year-round, vacuuming them up from walls, ceilings, and around windows and doors from room to room. The on-board brush that flips into place protects finishes. The motion in the filter actually dismembered most of the invaders. Its light enough to vacuum above ones head at length. This works great to clean cars and the onboard crevice tool extension comes in handy. The battery lasts a long time before charging.

WE love this so much that we ordered a second one in within 1 week of getting the first one and seeing how it performed.

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.

This vacuum is the very best handheld cordless vacuum I have ever owned. It has powerful suction, gets dirt out of hard to reach corners, and the flexibility of the unit allows me to get to places I simply could not reach before. I highly recommend this vacuum, and Im so glad I made the purchase.

Although I generally like this vacuum, it has a narrow throat that tends to clog easily if you are picking up pieces of any size, then you will have to gently bang the vacuum to dislodge any stuck pieces. Also the canister is on the smaller size and needs to be emptied frequently. These issues aside, this is still a quality vacuum, hopefully it has a longer lifespan than my previous shark.

Im so disgusted with handheld vacs! I would have loved this one to have 2 levels of power but it is pretty strong on suction. The most frustration feature was trying to pull the Crevice tool out and the killing yourself getting it put back in place! I worked on it for over 45 mins and my husband took a look at it and figured it out, pulling front part of crevice tool out while pushing down on the end of it where the lines are. pretty hard to do but it is doable, even for a 76 yr old. like the compart size, sturdiness. Its better than the Shark I had...

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.

I have (2) of these Black, and Decker 20 volt vacuums. They are powerful, and they get the job done. I highly recommend the!

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.
