A few also mention needing to frequently clean the filter.

This is great for my 820sq ft. Apartment. the charge doesn't hold too long, but I usually just need to do a quick vacuum in the kitchen and bathroom and it does the trick. Easy to use. Small enough to store.

When cleaned it is great, but because the receptical is so small, it fills up with dirt & dust fast and gets clogged up real quick. You have to stop (the suction actually stops so you have to clean it out).
The cleaning out takes more time than the Hand Vac does picking up dust & dirt. I cleaned an area about 6' x 6' and it took 3 cleanings because of the SMALL receptical for the dirt & dust.
When I cleaned behind the fridge, it took 3 cleanings because of the Small debris chamber.

This vacuum has been fantastic, before we bought this we were using a shop vac. Needless to say this is much easier to carry around, and plenty of suction power to get most lighter jobs done.

Happy I purchased this hand vac. Wanted a light weight one that still had adequate power to vacuum well. This it does. Powers up fast and with a full charge you can vacuum a long time.

I think that this vacuum being only 35$ will replace my 250 dollar portable stain. It’s power is just as much as the 8volt dyson vaccum and is very inexpensive I recommend it.

Great for cleaning up small messes. We use this unit around the fireplace to clean up small debris. Hopefully, the battery lasts longer than the previous models. For the price I am happy.

I haven't used this much since purchase and given mixed reviews + or - wasn't sure how this unit would fair. Unfortunately previous unit obsolete and Black & Decker no longer offers replacement batteries for what I had. Alot more suction than my previous model and better filters at keeping out dust from inside motor housing. Lithium vs ni-cad batteries will have to wait see how long unit will run between charges and when battery dies and no longer holds the charge. Cost to have replacement batteries built for older unit about $20-30.00 so decided to go with new unit instead.

The vac worked well and had good suction. It was easy to mount, empty the bag and charges quickly. The only down size was the charging cord that doesn't fit in the slot and hangs out. It is a nuisance at my work bench.

I bought this to replace the one I dropped, and it works. But none of these pick up very much. Crumbs, light stuff, so I rate it ok plus it stores neatly on the wall.

Black and Decker hand Vacs have let me down more than they have pleased me. This was probably the least researched one I have ever bought. I simply grabbed it off of the shelf at Best Buy. There was very little suction at all. Within the year, I was purchasing another one that was in the pet category. It now sounds like a slowly dying goose every time we turn it on.
We did purchase one about 10 years ago that we loved, and it lasted for five years or so. It was the kind that had a wider nozzle, and the entire nozzle rotated around to be flat against the body when storing. Other than that, Black & Decker always seems to let us down when it comes to hand vacs.

This is great to put in your vehicle. With the help of a power inverter, i can clean my car anywhere instead of a few coins at the gas station or car wash

Good suction! Flip up at the end. Extra tools. Easy to open to empty cannister. It would be a 5, if the bag was a little easier to place in the cannister. Good vision to see when it needs to be emptied.

My daughter loves her hand held vacuum, beats the standing vacuums that are heavy to lug around with wires in the way. Great in a dormitory rooms.
