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

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.

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.

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.

Very convenient, youll need a chopstick or something to free lint balls from inside the filter. Not a big deal. Hopefully the battery lasts because theres no way to swap in a new battery.

I use this to clean out my car, and for small spaces in my house. It works good. Takes a bit to charge up if it dies but it lasts for a decent amount of time as long as you aren’t running it for a long time.

I wanted to wait several weeks before writing a review to see how it would hold up or honestly how much I would even use it. I never even considered getting one until I was housesitting for a lady with several cats. As I was tidying up daily I realized how handy it was not to have to drag out the vacuum two or three times a day. So I decided to break down and get one myself. She had another model (that was way beyond my price range) so I did a bit of research and have always had good luck with Black & Decker products so decided to give this one a go. I had no idea that I would be using this thing several times every day to get into those little cracks and crevices, to clean up after my own pets instead of having to drag out the vacuum. So convenient, so handy, so lightweight. Suction power is great…. not comparable to an upright vacuum of course but it’s handheld so you can’t expect that. but for furniture, for carpet, for quick around the litter box cleanups, for dogs with muddy feet and for clumsy kitchen spills (nothing wet) this thing is awesome! For the price point I really was not expecting a product this good. And I love that I do not have to keep the button pressed down while in use. The pricier model I used while housesitting you have to have the button continually compressed and my hand cramped up quickly. I have to use this thing for a solid 15 minutes to even notice any fatigue in my hand and I don’t have the youngest hands in the world…. If you were looking for a hand held vacuum for quick, frequent cleanups. For me, this one is hard to beat! Sidenote, as stated above do not suck up anything wet! You will have to disassemble and clean the filters and then let them dry completely before using again. But it does state very clearly it is designed to vacuum dry things only. There is a little flat where the suction tube meets the chamber and sometimes little things can get stuck in there but was able to get out with a wooden skewer very very easily. Small price to pay. Very happy with this purchase

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.

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

I have waffle mats under the cat litter boxes to capture litter. This device does a fabulous job of vacuuming up the bits of litter out of the waffles. I dont dump the suctioned-up litter back in the box as Im using the vacuum for so much more...kitchen, stairs... It is easy to empty the container and about once a week, I take it apart and clean the filters. Note, the plastic filter cup does tend to get the bits of litter stuck in the little holes. I have a wire brush which I use to scrub out those particles. So easy.

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.
