BLACK+DECKER 20V Lithium Compact Hand VAC, BDH2000L

My dad just bought a portutif handheld vac for $39.99 for his car. It works fine, but it has a rubber smell, and some parts aren’t made very well. So I bought this one, because I’ve always wanted one, I was jealous that he had one, and I wanted him to see a real handheld vac. I accidentally bought two, so now he has two. If I cared more, I would make a video. The B & D is superior! Yay! And only $10 more. It has better suction, is clearly more sturdy and it doesn’t have any stinky odors. It’s also more convenient because all the attachments are actually attached, so you’re not going to lose them, or need the little bag that comes with the portutif. That being said, my dad’s vac (besides the odor that he can’t seem to smell), is a fine handheld vacuum. It advertises around a 25 min battery charge, but has much longer. The differences in suction is not that much. I prefer the Black & Decker, it doesn’t take too long to charge (I didn’t time it yet) after the battery runs down. And it is very convenient. One little annoyance: it has a place to hang it on the wall, but doesn’t come with the thing to hang it on. Irritating right? Yet my dad’s cheaper one can hang out all day long on the wall, mocking me. I will update with any big developments in my vac’s life. BTW, both vacs are strong enough to suck up a large bug. Neither are strong enough to kill the large bug -that is, if you happen to have a large bug in your home in a hard to reach place. How you handle the live bug in the vacuum is your own business.

This is Exactly what I needed in a cordless handheld dustbuster, B+D designed this incredibly well! For quick light dustbusting in the house or vehicle, this durable and easy to use hand vac is so well-balanced, simple, and ergonomically designed that I wish Id bought it sooner. For small cleanups around the house it works well, although the lithium-ion battery and storage capacity isnt designed for large or heavy jobs, that is what the house or shop vac is for first. This handheld vac is designed for small or simple spot-cleaning, or in hard to reach areas which dont require a corded vacuum. The list of uses are numerous, for pet hair, dust and dander or pollen, spills (it even pulls up a small amount of liquid, although a wet/dry vac is better for that first), I clean my Winix air purifier filters with this, to extend their efficiency and use, any cobwebs in overhead areas, curtains, and it is very handy for the interior of the vehicle. The recharging time is very fast, and usually I can manage about twenty or thirty minutes before needing to recharge it on its base (included with the hand vac). When it is fully charged, the blue recharge indicator light shuts off, so it doesnt constantly glow softly. The motor on the hand vac isnt loud, the filter and prefilter only take a matter of a couple of minutes to clean, and it is so easy to open up and clean those that it only takes a couple of minutes after the first time. It only comes apart and goes back together in one way, so there is nothing to fumble around with. If purchasing this item, you may want to buy it bundled with a replacement filter for a discount, to save eventual costs, however after nearly a year Im still on the original one, and it is hardly showing any wear. I simply open up the hand-vac when it is about 1/2 - 3/4 full, dump out the reservoir of dust, dirt, cat hair, etc., and bang off the pre-filter and filter. In less than a minute, it is all snapped back together, and ready to go again! It is rare that I leave a lengthy review for a common household item, however this one warrants it. I spend sometimes a few days or weeks reading through top reviews, and dont make impulse buys, I like quality, and if it costs a few extra dollars, it almost always pays off in the end. As a comparison, when I needed a handheld water filter, I spent months researching, and chose the Katadyn Pocket Water Filter, one of the best purchases I made for camping, backpacking, and essential survival. There is hardly any comparison, and although it cost a little more, after years it is in perfect shape, and was backed by a ten year warranty, almost unheard of for a product. The same with my chefs knife, the 8-inch Koto Knives Professional Gyoto Chefs Knife, with 67 Layer Damascus Steel Blade, VG-10 Japanese Super Steel, having worked as a chef, when I found this one I stopped looking, it has been the perfect knife for years, and for the quality was incredibly affordable, around $80.00 USD. I expect that over its lifetime, the Black and Decker handheld vacuum will continue to prove equally helpful. The charging base and cord are included, it is light and durable, the ease of use and design is ideal, the two nozzle modes are already attached, nothing to take on or off, the brush folds out and back over the intake, so you can get in those tough places, and the motor and rotors sound strong and provide excellent suction for small jobs. The instruction manual is clearly written, in three languages, including the two-year limited warranty, youll be out of the box, assembled, and running in a manner of minutes, and what once was a chore is now made easy. Ill return to update this review in the coming year(s), however after a year of reliable service I recommend this product. B+K customer service stands by their products if you ever need them, and the quality and attention to detail shows in what they make. *Confirmed Amazon purchase and customer, and I was not compensated for my impartial product review.

Works well but requires charging frequently

Keep this handy little vacuum in the garage and use it frequently to clean the interior of our vehicles. Good suction,convenient charging station and seems to be good quality. Does the job

Oh, this beauty is so powerful!!!l Make sure you charge overnight and then you are good to go! Did the whole stairs beautifully - tons of dust and hair were no match for it! I was so tickled by it, I then walked around the rest of my 4000 sq ft home looking for dust bunnies!!!! Get it. You wont regret it!!

For years, I had the old version of this little vacuum that could be wall-mounted. I had been so happy with it and wanted to replace it with another exact one when its battery finally died. When I saw that this charger wasnt wall-mounted, I was disappointed and looked for other small vacuums, but they didnt have all the great features and easy-cleaning that this one has. So, I found a spot for it I have no problem at all with seating the unit on the charger or it being tipped over or any other issues I was leery of having after reading some reviews. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because sometimes the crevice tool extension doesnt lock well and starts sliding back in and that can be a little annoying.

Great little handheld vacuum. I’m not very impressed with most thing but this sucker works great

I ordered this to replace a smaller vac that died last month. This has great suction, is easy to clean, charges quickly, and does an overall great job, BUT.....both the canister and the suction tip are a bit bulkier than expected, and its not quite as good at getting into cracks and crevices as my old one was.

Purchased this to clean up window sills, corners, stairs, pet food spills, auto carpet, kitchen spills. Its powerful and easy to charge, easy to use. Its just really loud!

Its a great on the go and for your car too. It did have a limit to it tho. Change it often. To maintain battery life.
