Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Handheld Vacuum
Customer Review: A good experince for a first time buyer.
Summary: 4 Stars
Ive never owned a hand-vac prior to this Black and Decker so I dont have a wealth of comparison to give. Despite that the experience so far has pointed to a good purchase.
The Good
- Solid, weighty feel.
- Ergonomic and intuitive design. Easy to operate and maintain by all ages without even touching the manual.
- Powerful, consistent suction. The first power rating, of two, is enough for most everything.
- Easy to empty.
The Difficult
- It is a solid item, the motor and battery making it fairly heavy for children and the advanced elderly.
- Loud while in use but a good indicator of a low battery as the sound starts to fade rapidly.
- Easy to empty but messy to clean properly, including emptying the reusable filter.
- Be careful of the canister door. Ive not had this happen but were the vac to fall from your hand when the door is open I can definitely see it snapping from its plastic frame.
The Odd
- The rotating nozzle is a good option to have available, adjusting to a wide range of angles. On the other hand...theres -nothing- to stop the debris youve just sucked up from falling out again. And this can easily happen when the nozzle is tucked to the underside of a somewhat full vac.
- The two included nozzle attachments (an angle and brush tip) are essentially useless.
- Replacing the battery. While not hard to accomplish the requirements for doing so might turn some away.
Overall Im glad to have purchased this Black and Decker. While it has some odd issues it does its primary job very well and thats all I can really ask at this price.
Also, if you find that you like this vac there is a vehicle-ready 12 volt 'little brother' available.
