BLACK+DECKER 20V Lithium Compact Hand VAC, BDH2000L

It has a very powerful suction and is easy to clean. I have used it not more than 5 min at a time so Im not sure how long the battery would last. But I know it works great for at least 5 min.

As with other reviews, it is pretty loud. Having said that, the short amount of time I actually use it, the noise isnt an issue for me. If quieter means less suction, then I will deal with the noise. Works great!

This is probably the best dustbuster Ive ever owned especially for the price. You can see everything clearly but everything is locked in tight so nothings getting out you can be assured of that. It has great suction and it also has the Little brush attachment that is attached right to the dust buster you just have to flip it over to use it which is so convenient so you dont lose it. I highly recommend this. Ive had quite a few by far this is my number one

I have four of these, one for each level, and then an extra one. That’s extra one sits near the dryer, and I use it to suck the lint out of the screen thing rather than fight with it. I also occasionally get stink bugs and it’s good for sucking them up to. Anything from cereal to sugar to dirt to lint, this does the job. I would recommend these.

This thing works great and has good battery life. Didnt appreciate how loud it would be though. In an apartment building I wouldnt use it early in the morning or late at night. Not sure how much sound travels but wouldnt want anyone to accuse me of running a jet engine!

Product was as advertised and delivered as scheduled.

UPDATE: It is now 2019(!), and I have been using this vacuum for 6 years now. It still functions, and I am still using the original filter. Nothing has changed from my original review, there are still things I would like to change about this product (specifically the way the top locks - or doesnt lock - into place consistently) but the fact that I have gotten 6 years of use out of a handheld vacuum is unprecedented so far for me so I am happy to overlook that flaw. No broken parts, battery still holds a decent charge (I get about 20 minutes of uninterrupted vacuuming out of it at this point, which is more than enough for small cleanups), and the vacuum basically functions as it did when I purchased it. This appears to be a solid product with a reasonable price point and proven durability, so it still gets 5 stars from me. ______________________________________ Original review below: ______________________________________ After several negative experiences with other vacuums, I wanted to wait to do a long-term review of this product because, for me, how a vacuum cleaner holds up to prolonged use is more important than my first impressions. I have now been using this vacuum for 2 years, so I feel pretty confident in giving this product 5 stars (i.e. I love it, with a few minor nitpicks). Why I bought this vacuum: I wanted something to quickly pick up small amounts of debris without having to haul out the much heavier and more cumbersome upright vacuum. I keep it plugged into its dock in the main living area, so I can quickly grab it whenever needed. Things I love: After buying this vacuum, I got golden retriever puppy, so its safe to say that about 90% of what Im vacuuming up nowadays has some amount of dog hair in it. Even though I didnt buy this for handling pet hair, this vacuum handles it flawlessly. In fact, I frequently use it to grab up the stray tumbleweeds of dog hair that often migrate into the various corners of the house (pet people youve probably dealt with this before). Youll need something much more powerful to get the pet hair out of carpets and furniture, but for hardwood floors, tile and other hard surfaces, it works great. For those who dont have pets, theres still plenty of uses for this thing. I use it to grab stray crumbs on the kitchen floor in between deep cleanings. Its great at picking up small leaves and dirt that get tracked in near the doorways. During the Christmas season, this vacuum is my go-to for picking up the Christmas tree needles which inevitably end up scattered everywhere (much like the dog hair!) So, in summary, Id say that the vacuum is absolutely great for cleaning small to moderate amounts of debris off of pretty much any type of hard surface. I wouldnt recommend using it to clean pet hair or debris out of carpets or upholstery, although it can do so, provided its not embedded very deeply. Cleaning: The vacuum is bagless and can be disassembled into 5 pieces for cleaning which you can see in the photo. Its a pretty straightforward process since most of the pieces are plastic. Theres a cloth filter which can also be cleaned or replaced, as needed. The filter pops out and can be emptied into a trash bin, the full disassembly is only required if you want to clean all the parts (I tend to do this after 2-3 times of just emptying the cartridge). After cleaning, I like to put a couple of drops of essential oils (peppermint, etc) on the filter, which gives the room a nice smell while vacuuming. So far the filter and all internal parts have held up well with only cosmetic damage from scuffs, etc. Cons: Theres not much to mention here, but a couple small things worth noting: 1. The top of the vacuum cleaner is one solid piece that has to be clipped into the rest of the body of the vacuum. It can sometimes seem like it is locked in but, if you do not do this correctly, the end will fall off during vacuuming. This can be annoying, as you have to stop and re-attach it again. Id recommend future models include a better locking mechanism, or at least something that holds together a bit better. 2. Battery life is good; however after 2 years of moderate to heavy use, I get about 10 minutes of solid vacuuming before the battery dies out. Id say this represents an overall degradation of about 50%, given that, when new, the vacuum could handle about 20 minutes before needing a recharge. This is, of course, a rough estimation, and I havent compared performance to other vacuum models, just something to be aware of. It doesnt bother me much given that I only use it for small amounts of debris and not for vacuuming the entire house at once. Who would I recommend this for? -Anyone who has hard floors or surfaces they want to clean, without the hassle of a full-size vacuum. -Dorm use -Studio apartments -People with pets who want a quick way to get hair out of their (non-carpeted) surfaces

Just like all reviewers say, very powerful, easy to empty, but loud. But I was tired of wasting my money on quiet little vacuums that had no power.

We use this to vacuum our guinea pig cage. The filter is so easy to clean and its light enough for my kids to use. The charger works well. It was a great buy.

Love this handy versatile vac. Its powerful suction picks up everything in and near its path. Battery is strong and long lasting. Very balanced and well designed. I dont think you can find anything better.
