dustbuster 20V Hand Vacuum Cordless Rechargeable, Car Vacuum Portable, Powerful Suction AdvancedClean Hand Vac with Extendible Crevice Tool, Flip-Up Brush and Charging Base (BDH2000L)

This is one of those rare products that make you ask yourself how you lived without it. I should have bought this long ago. I bought it with 6 extra filters so I don't need to worry later. The suction power on this hand vac is the best I've ever seen. My once-a-week housekeeper said the same thing. A friend asked to borrow it down the hall to clean some kitty litter. I use it several times a day for one thing or another. It works as well on hardwood floors as carpets. There is an attached flip brush that pulls down to gather hair, etc. I have many plants in my apartment and even with plastic mats for transplanting this B & D hand vac is great for picking up dry dirt, small pieces of gravel, small plant debris, etc. I already have vacuumed my car. I have emptied it a couple of times and it opens very easily. I haven't had to change filters yet but that is super easy as well. It is so easy to rinse out the plastic debris container and the filter as well. The charger plugs into the wall with an electric cord and the vac sets on its base to charge quickly. I highly recommend this Black and Decker hand vac and would give it 10 stars if I could. It changed my life.

This vacuum has great suction for its size. It’s perfect for quick cleanups around the house and getting into tight corners in the car. Battery life is solid!

Such a great little vacuum!!! Has a great suction and gets the job done!

Amazing vacuum quality and battery seems to last really well. But it is veeery noisy!

We have had one of these for a while, and we use it constantly. Literally every single day. With pets and kids, it's really convenient to have a handheld vacuum instead of using brooms or getting out a big vacuum. A couple of weeks ago the battery started going, where it would shut itself off after a minute. I decided it was time to replace it, so I went back in my orders and found out that I had bought it more than 8 years ago. And this was 8 years of hard use. I ordered the exact same model again, because it's been so reliable for so long. Yeah, it's loud. But it has a long battery life and will suck up pretty much anything, and we haven't had any issues with it for all these years. I hope the new one lasts as long as the last.

I paid full listing price on Amazon for this vacuum and only just received it a few days ago, so hopefully this review isn't premature. I was previously using a corded portable vacuum that I received as a gift which I used to clean messes in my car. Although I'm grateful for that thoughtful gift, that vacuum consistently failed to pick up small debris leaving me to either make SEVERAL passes over the same areas or simply picking up the debris by hand (aka counterproductive). I researched several vacuums on the web before committing and, while none are surefire perfect, this one seemed to come pretty close without having to sell a kidney on the black market to afford it *cough* Dyson *cough*. (My first choice was the Black+Decker BDH2000PL, but there are just too many reports of the canister door breaking off essentially rendering that vacuum useless.) This vacuum picked up everything that my previous vacuum failed to remove just the day prior. My car is not huge, but my old vacuum would take maybe 5-10 minutes or so of use to clean out my vehicle. When I used this Black+Decker for the first time, I had the job done in about 2-3 minutes! Others have mentioned that this vacuum is loud, but I honestly can't tell a difference between this one and my old portable vacuum. The canister is very easy to empty and doesn't seem to be overly prone to breakage. Lastly, I've read other reviews that mention the crevice tool slides back into the vacuum during use. However, if you fully extend the crevice tool until it clicks/locks into place, that wouldn't be an issue. I used the crevice tool to vacuum the tighter spaces in my car and did not experience it receding back into the vacuum in the middle of things. In summary: PROS: - Very powerful and effective (at least compared to my previous vacuum) - Easy to empty/clean - Attractive and masculine design - Great price with little compromise - The neck of the vacuum rotates and locks into multiple positions giving the user handling options. CONS: - A bit more weighty than I expected it to be. While this is not an issue for me personally, I feel it's worth mentioning because it is noticeably heavier than my previous vacuum (BTW which was corded and did not have a battery). If you intend to vacuum for 20-30 minutes at a time, plan for ambidexterity. - The included instructions address the use of a wall mount for this vacuum, however there is no actual wall mount included with this unit. (Although, I'm not really sure how practical a wall mount would be since there's a charging base that doubles as storage. If there was a CHARGING wall mount made for this vacuum, then I definitely would have been ranting for not receiving one!) - There is a gap between the mouth of the vacuum and the brush tool (when used) so I'm not all that certain of the brush's effectiveness. If anything, it's best used to agitate debris that may be stuck or wedged in something.

Up until today, I would have given this product 5 stars....but today it stopped charging. The research I did tells me that it is probably a battery issue and that you can't just replace the battery but have to buy a new unit. For this price that seems unacceptable. I bought this in November 2023 and we use is regularly and keep it on the charger when not in use. Two years? Not liking that lifespan. However, it was a GREAT vacuum and did the job of spot cleaning very well. Good power and good suction.

Bought this to replace an older 16V model, which itself replaced the same model from a previous purchase. We love these little gizmos. Incredibly handy and versatile. It's easy to carry around, well balanced. My only complaint would be that it's a bit noisy, but I suspect that if it was quieter its performance wouldn't be nearly as good as it is. Our primary use is to tidy up around the kitty litter box. No matter what, their little paws always bring a little of the litter out onto the tile floor. This sucks it up with no difficulty at all. But we also use it all around the house for touch ups, for example in the kitchen around the edges of the floor and under the cabinets. Keeps things nice and tidy. Has plenty of battery life. We can do multiple jobs over multiple days (average time of use is perhaps about a minute total; moving from one area to another usually turn it off briefly until ready to clean). The charging unit makes it incredibly easy - just sit it down on the unit and a blue light shows it's charging. The light goes off when done. This 20V unit definitely does have more suction than our prior B&D 16V (they look alike, this one's gray/black, that one was a light blue). VERY easy to empty and clean. The fabric filter unit (though they sell replacements if you don't want to bother, but it's honestly so easy to do and, get this, I've never had to buy a replacement filter - they're incredibly durable - the unit's BATTERY (see below) has "died" before the filter fabric/material has worn out!) is easy to clean. Gently brush off the majority of the debris into a trash can, then a little dish soap and hot water cleans it up and we air dry it. There's a plastic "first stage filter" that washes quickly, and the body (dirt container) cleans quickly w/soap and water. A few hours drying and back in business again. The nozzle fits in plenty of tight spaces. This is our 3rd unit (each one seems to last about 2 years, which I don't think is terrible at this price point), so we're quite pleased with the product line for sure. It's the battery that seems to "go" on them. Though I'm not honestly sure how much of this may be "user defined" than the battery itself. I try to let the battery drain down before charging, my wife always puts it right back onto the charger. Theoretically being a lithium ion battery it shouldn't have a "memory," but I think that it should be used until nearly "out" then recharged. Regardless, with our pattern of use as noted we've had 3 of them (this being the 3rd, and it's only about 2 months old now as I write this), the prior two (again, 16V, different model) having each lasted about 2 years. BTW, the plastic filter cup and the dust container are exactly the same, even on this new model; I've simply saved those parts from the old machines in case I might need to replace, but have never had to! I paid full price for this item and I'm an average end-user customer. This is my honest and unbiased by any remuneration review.
