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

I bought this on the NYT recommendation. Been using it a few weeks, and no problems with battery life or not holding/taking a charge, as others have reported. I work out of the home, with my shop in the basement, so I have to frequently vacuum my bench area to avoid the dust creeping to other parts of the house. Before I bought this, every time I needed to vacuum the bench area, I would walk around the back of the bench, turn on the Shop Vac, vacuum the area, and then walk back to the front side of the bench. This little powerful vac has already saved me numerous trips like that, and because its handy, I even vacuum it up more often. At the end of the day, I walk up the stairs with vac in hand, and give each stair a quick swipe. Then, I plug it in the charger upstairs to get ready for the next day. I love this thing so much, my wife and I plan to buy one for the main house.

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.

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 vacuum has plenty of power and is very easy to use. the only negative is the parts availability is limited. Still a great value. This vacuum is used a lot, 3 or 4 times a day. Have purchased 3 vacuums over 13 years 2 are still being used.

This is a little bit heavy, but it has good suction power, is easy to to use, and has extra tools to use on nice surfaces and in crevices. A good buy!

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.

It’s a good vacuum but not a great vacuum. I don’t think the folding feature adds much and the dust door feels flimsy.

So I quilt, and I have carpet in my sewing room that accumulates thread and fabric scraps after Ive been working. I got this with the hopes that having a handy hand held vacuum would make it easier to keep the carpet and surfaces clean. Miracles never cease because I have found that I do use it religiously whenever I finish working on a project. It does a very good job of sucking up the textile debris I leave behind. I especially like how well it works on solid surfaces like my table and cutting mat. It isnt quite as successful on debris that gets caught up in the heavily textured fabric of my sewing chair. It also isnt great at removing grass and dirt from the carpet of my car. It gets most off but not nearly as much as you would get using a commercial car wash vacuum I do like that the nozzle can be adjusted to different angles and it is very easy to empty once done using it. Overall a great little tool that I recommend quick cleanups.

Hace un muy buen trabajo. Mi escenario de uso es el de aspirar los muebles principalmente, pero he podido usarla en otras partes de la casa, como en las mesitas de noche en la habitación, o en el escritorio de trabajo. El cargador puede ser un poco molesto porque no es tan pequeño para guardarlo, pero es lo más importante para el uso de la aspiradora. La facilidad de extraer y limpiar el filtro, es 1A.

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.
