I’ve purchased three of these B&D Lithium hand vacuums in the past four years, cost approx $45 USD + tax each. ALL of them became useless within two years. When they were new they worked great for a few months. But the rechargeable battery is terrible. This device is another example of unnecessary planned obsolescence. The lithium battery pack is NOT DIY replaceable. There’s an easy to find YouTube video that shows a breakdown. Very disappointed.😠

This replaced an identical vacuum we had had for years. It works exactly as described. I love it. It is so easy to pull out and use.

This is my second one. I had my first one for 3+ years, and if I didn’t accidentally dropped water all over it, I would probably still have it.Power is super! Light weight and durable. Charged fast. It is loud but it does a great job. No complaints.LG

I needed a new handheld vacuum cleaner for cleaning up pet messes. This black and decker works like a charm! It has alot of suction power, is very easy to use and clean! I'm very satisfied with this vacuum.

This product should be removed from Amazon.sa as it is designed for North America to run on 120v 60hz. I looked the description and it was not mentioned the operating voltage

I was lead to this product based on a couple of internet reviews for 'Best portable vacuum for your car'.Both reviews said that surprisingly, one of the cheapest vacs is the best. This was the model in question, so I gave it a go.It doesn't look like much, and the battery cannot be replaced. The brush is also problematic because it tends to pop off/backwards if you apply too much pressure.That's where the bad news ends, however, because this thing has outstanding power and enough input width to keep your vehicle in tip-top condition. I have a minivan and two kids, so a big vehicle that's prone to getting filthy! This little vac has absolutely no issues keeping up.I've never run the battery down, but I never use it for more than ~8 minutes. If you have a bigger job, I would check the manufacturer guidance on battery life.So yep, for me, this is the one!

Funciona excelente, y es muy potente para su tamaño. Es mucho menos ruidosa que una aspiradora normal y la pila mas o menos dura unos 15-20 mins, lo cual para el uso que le doy me queda perfecto. Es facil de limpiar solo que en casa con gatos pues en cada uso tengo que hacerlo porque se llena el filtro de pelos. El unico ‘pero’ que le pondria es que tarda mucho en cargarse, he hecho varias pruebas, porque la uso cada 2 dias mas o menos y para que cargue al 100% desde 0 deben ser unas 7-8 hrs

I had kind of low expectations for this vacuum considering its amazon, and its pretty low on the price scale. We kind of just expected it would "get the job done for now but would eventually be replaced"However... We have had this thing for well over a year now and this little vacuum has been holding its own as our tool for the entire house. Its suction is... okay, its good enough. Only time I could ask for more is when cleaning fur off the couch, you have to do a couple passes to get everything.But overall considering how compact this little dude is its the perfect fit for someone who wants to clean messes up without lugging a giant heavy vacuum around.We also keep it hung up on the dock and plugged in whenever not in use. Only for extremely large tasks like vacuuming the ENTIRE apartment when we were moving out did its battery actually die, but thats not a normally realistic scenario.For just general house use and cleaning as you go, more than good enough.PS: It's also a very good way to deal with spiders.

I bought this and have used it now for 2 months. Upon opening, I followed the instructions to the letter--thus when it arrived I charged it completely for about 24 hours. I then used it for about a total of 20-25 minutes until it wouldn't work and charged it again overnight. This is to set up the battery correctly and is a common battery operated charging regimen. Follow it and you likely eliminate future problems and the experience of saying it loses charge quick.The suction is strong. I'm not sure what people are expecting but it's a hand held vacuum. I've used them since the original dust buster, dirt devil etc. etc. This one will pick up sawdust, hair, dust, spilled flour, rice, sand. It did an ok job in the car. There is a tool for nooks and crannies. That thing extends out of the main nozzle. It helped for harder to reach spaces. There is a flip down brush type thing that worked ok on book shelves and furniture. Proper dusting is done with a rag and pledge or somesort of concoction anyway.It does not have a charging light. Just sort of figure that when you charge it, you probably have left it for a few hours before using it again. If you're using it as a light duty hand held--you picked up a spill, found something to clean for a few minutes, then likely it'll charge back to full quickly. If you used it for 10-15 minutes, figure a few hours on the charger will bring it back up to par for the next use. I don't need a charging light for that but I suppose it would have been nice. Worst case scenario is it ran out of battery--well then I just charge it without use overnight. Voila.It has a wall hanging unit. The charger is not built into the wall hanging unit. I just mounted the hanging unit close enough that with the plug in the outlet, it reaches---common sense.It comes apart easily--used the manual to understand how to empty it routinely. Used the manual how to understand how to take it a step further, pop out the filter and give the filter a good clean or even a rinse under water (let it dry fully if you do that--common sense). The waste container is clear. I can see when it's nearing full and empty it at that point as it works best (as does ANY vacuum) when it's not full.I did have the experience of hanging it up once or twice 1/2 full and a few pieces of sand or something fell straight down from the wall hanger. Now i just hold the unit over a bin for a minute tap with my hand to insure that doesn't happen but generally when I empty the unit (which is just about every time) I make sure the intake care doesn't have any strays.Some folks talk about the unit (and other units) being noisy. Some customers ask about noise. Come on. It's a hand held vacuum--it's in the category of blenders, leaf blowers and vacuums. It makes noise and again that's common sense. They don't call it the Dust Buster Whisper. That said it's not at leaf blower level or blender level or plug in vacuum level. I just wouldn't use it when your baby is napping or a loved one is on a conference call.I'd say for the money this is a solid household use dust buster and it's improved in over 25 years. I'll check back in a year if it somehow dies after a year but for now it's working fine and as designed and I picked it because of the power specs. I disregarded some reviews on a hunch that they hadn't charged it up properly . I do not expect this to go more than 15-20 minutes or so. If I have that much hand held vacuuming to do, it maybe that I need to use the regular vacuum. That all said, i can pretty much do a 30 X 30 room for spot stuff, the kitchen nooks and crannies, the bathroom, the window sills in a single charge--for spot cleaning, tidy up.

I was a bit sceptical at first. The hand vac did not look powerful enough. Then I charged it and gave it a try. Well I was and am surprised at the suction this has. I had to flip down the brush so it would not suck up the cloth on my computer repair desk. Also left the brush down for cleaning the fans and outside of vents it dug out the hair and heavens knows what else was coming out the holes. I used the canned of compressed air inside the computer and held the hand vac over the flying debris. It just worked like a charmThe wife is using it for tracked in dust she sweeps in a pile on the floor and it cleans up with out leaving a line at the dust pan or having to bring out the vacuum hose which is 35 feet of built in vacuum hose wrestling this snake is the thing of the past for quick pickups. The small rug at the front door usually has grass or something in it and she uses the brush to get most of the stuff until it is time for the carpet brush.clean up is easy we rotate the body to unclick it for removal and dump the dirt compartment. It unclicks easier and so she decided to do the floor trim using the brush and rotated, just great and quick and is not scratching the walls like the big vacuum dragging it along. She found out the unit's snout extends. Well it is being used every day. I got it for her as a thanks wife gift as I am not into flowers. Now I think I will have to get one for ,my self I need it to do another computer clean and it is outside cleaning up the van. This unit is more handy then a pocket in your shirt.
