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

This hand held vacuum seems to work well. Love it for small jobs in the house so much faster than dragging out the big vacuum or broom. My only concern is that I dont think it holds the charge as long as inthink it should. It is compact which is great but I have noticed that even if I only use it for a very short period of time ( a coule of minutes), the light goes on for it to charge.

This handheld vacuum is a compact and versatile option for anyone in need of a handheld vacuum. While it does have some positive features, it also has some drawbacks to consider. On the positive side, this handheld vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it great for quick cleanups around the house or in the car. It also has a strong suction power that does a decent job of picking up small debris like crumbs, pet hair, and dust. The crevice tool and brush attachment are also handy for reaching tight spaces and upholstery. However, the battery life is not great. It only lasts for around 10-15 minutes on a single charge, which may not be enough for larger cleaning tasks. Additionally, the dustbin is small and needs to be emptied frequently, which can be inconvenient. Another issue with this handheld vacuum is the noise level. It is quite loud, which can be irritating if you need to use it for an extended period of time. This vacuum is a decent option for small cleanups: The strong suction power and handy attachments are positives, but the short battery life and loud noise level may be a dealbreaker for some users.

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.

Half the price of a Dyson and twice as good, you cant go wrong with this thing.

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

Great suction. Holds charge. Good job on upholstery and everything Ive used it on. Just what I was looking for (and disappointed with in others). We dont have stairs, but I think it would be great for that as well. Plan to use in car also.

Ive only had this handvac for about two months (bought July 2014) and I hope it lasts forever! I dont know how I ever lived without it. It replaces a floor vac that worked through a hand vac, and my main reason for replacing it was that it held almost nothing and was a pain to empty. Boy, did I get more than I expected. The suction on this vacuum is super -- far greater than the hand vac that was supposed to be a floor vac as well. And yes, it picks up kibbles. And cat hair. (Id joke that it would probably pick up the cat, but someone would think I might consider such a thing...) And the crumbs that fall past the toaster crumb tray. And the flour on the kneading counter. And spilled sugar. It picks up incidental cat hair well too, though as the house is completely blanketed in cat hair I dont use the hand vac specifically for it. The round barrel you see is for dirt. The whole end is the lid -- just pull the latch (grey inset above) and dump the barrel into a wastebasket or a bag. So far the lid seals tight when shut (just close it -- not like all the fiddling around with the Dyson). The filter is easy to clean and so simple to remove I have to look at the manual because I dont believe it could be that simple. The little brush tucked under the nozzle gets the last grain of sugar, the last crumb. I still have to remember to angle the nozzle so it can do its stuff. The brush is fairly soft -- wouldnt be afraid to use it on any surface whatever. Press lightly and pull another bit of nozzle out for more reach and bit more slenderness. It locks with a few friction bumps when pulled out all the way, but stays out well enough for a quick slurp when not locked. The pivot is easy to work -- a press to release a latch and presto! Its been harder to remember that I can angle the nozzle to get at the grooves in the sliding windows and other awkward places. Its so easy to stand the vac in the charging stand I have a hard time remembering that too. Just set it down. The vacuum stands in the cradle so vacuum in charger takes up almost no more room than the vacuum alone. It needs about 7 inches from back to front and with the nozzle straight up its about 16 inches high. It comes with screws for mounting to a wall, if one had an appropriate wall. The vacuum goes in the charger sideways, kind of -- handle to the side-- and theres a nice display of a row of blinking blue lights while it charges. Ive never run the battery out yet -- may have an update if I can ever face cleaning my car. Possible cons, for some people: it may make too much noise to suit some, and its kind of high pitched compared to say, the Shop Vac. Kind of goes with the territory, I guess -- never had a decent vacuum that wasnt pretty loud. I dont use the vac for long at a time so it hasnt bothered me. The vacuum blows a strong stream of air (what goes in must come out--) in my face at certain rather unusual angles. It seems to be very clean air, doesnt make me sneeze and sniffle, but its kind of a shock. It does take a bit to rev up -- say one eyeblink. Its ready before I am so so what. It has some weight to it but its well balanced. The question these days is always durability. Will it work for another two months? Two years? Five? Will the BDJ2000PL you buy in December 2014 have already deteriorated from the one I bought in July? Lets hope not.

Little hand held vacuum is so powerful; the lifetime of the product and battery life and charge are amazing. I had the previous model for 10+ years it didn’t brake my son dropped it and the collection bin cracked…it’s still working but glued it and use for my garage know. So,I got a new one for indoor. Overall the best. I did compare different ones before repurchase and none stand up to the suction power. Would love if they made a pet hair attachment for it!! If so none on the market could stand up to it.

It’s been a while since I bought a small vac, so maybe I missed the revolution, but this thing is so powerful. You get it within an inch of dirt, it’s going in. I was hypnotized staring at the dirt and seeing it fly in from distance. And it’s very easy to use and feels well built. Very glad I spent a little extra versus those at a lower price point. If you need a versatile, powerful small vac, I highly recommend this one.

Great vacuum but always a challenge removing and cleaning/replacing the filter. After 3 years and minimum usage, the motor started whining, and the unit became too noisy to use. More than sufficient power and overall design, but it should last longer without replacement.
