Customer Ratings & Reviews

Powerful vacuum. Great for small spaces, especially the car.

The hand vac is very powerful to perform the job but it is a little bite heavy.

Overall great vaccum, handy to keep in the car, compact, great suction. Very happy with my purchase!

The B&D 18V portable vac picks up everything on my kitchen tile and it even works on the rugs. With a simple hook, it hangs right where my old 12 V unit used to be and I like its bright blue charging light. It is also easy to empty, so I am going to buy another one for our bathrooms.

this item is small but works good. it is not bulky and easy to operate

I purchase this vac and i am very pleased with it very handy and compact great vacuum !!

From everything that I have seen, it is a great product. I liked the fact that the product is well constructed, and is not expensive as some of the others that i checked in the store. I was impressed with the suction power and weight of this vacuum. I had to buy a new one because my last one kept getting clogged up at the intake area. This one has power, suction and it handles great. I like the no bag concept.

The suction is incredible and the unit is well designed and durable. Better than Dyson!

The suction power is much better than expected, a little heavy but that's OK

A little heavier than most, but I like the suction power. It's supposed to be kept plugged in, and it has a blue light that's kind of bright. I've had to turn it on it's side to hide the light. But I like the compact nature of the item.

Good suction power. Light weight and portable. Highly recommend for easy of use.

This little device really cleans up debris of all small kinds. The only issue is that the battery does not last as long as it should for cleaning. But for basic cleaning on a regular basis, I could not be happier. Try not to save your vehicle cleaning for a long time and there wont be as much time spent running the cleaner.

I wanted a strong, cordless hand vac - this is perfect. Has a quick charge that lasts. Used it on dust, kitty litter, paper shreads, etc. Perfect, quick pick up. Very reasonable price, reaches into small places because it has a long nose. Brush attachment helpful on furniture. GREAT buy!

I enjoyed how compact my product is and powerful it is.

cleans very well for such a small vacuum. does a great job.

Upon first use, this thing seems amazing. Between the attached brush, extendable crevice tool, and HUGE power, I was thinking, man, this thing could suck up a boat! Then I turned it off, and all the dust and debris (and in my case, cat litter) that had just been sucked into the canister came pouring right out of the nozzle back onto the floor. The "flap" that B&D put between the canister and the nozzle of this thing is paper-thin and hinged in such a way that it is completely controlled by gravity. It also "sticks" in the open position pretty regularly. So depending on how you are holding the vac (up/down/sideways), the flap very easily falls open (or is stuck open), providing a clear pathway for the debris to fall back out through the nozzle (when the machine is off). This has happened more times than I care to count, and it is frustrating as heck. I know it might not sound like a big deal, like "Hey Einstein, just don't turn it upside down". BUT, the way the nozzle rotates over 200 degrees, right-side-up becomes upside-down just in the process of rotating the nozzle to put it into its "resting" position. When the nozzle is extended for use, the flap's hinge is on the top so gravity pulls the flap down (closed), that is, when it doesn't stick. But when you rotate the nozzle to its collapsed position, the hinge is now on the bottom and the flap falls open. I don't see how they overlooked this, but it is a MAJOR problem. Additional problems are that it is kind of on the heavy side (my arm fatigues after a few minutes' use if I'm using it up high) and the battery doesn't last all that long. You definitely have less than 10 minutes of full-power even when fully charged. I DO like that it is bagless and the entire canister part can be wiped clean with a wet cloth or sponge. Clean-up is simple (when the debris actually stays in the canister!). But still, until they fix this flap issue, I wouldn't recommend this hand vac. It's just too expensive to have such a major design flaw.

It is light, powerful, cordless, easy to clean. Love it.

I have had several hand held vacs over the years and this one from Black and Decker has the best power I've seen. The rotating head makes it easy to get into tight places. Only drawback is the canister is a bit small compared to others but I'm willing to compromise that for the power.

Love, Love this little cordless hand vacum. It's just the perfect size and weight, yet delivers amazing results. It has the power like no other hand held I had before. A+++++ product. Every house should have one.

It's good value for money when you consider the price. The battery runs out fast and it doesn't have a lot of suction power and it's chamber is hard to clean. But it's super compact and easy to use. I use it for my car mostly.
