Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker SPV1800 18V Cordless Platinum Series Hand Vac
Customer Review: Only decent dustbuster with replaceable battery
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had Dustbusters for years. Our last one, a 9.6v CHV9600 has been the best. Lasted 5 years. No current (2011) dustbusters are anywhere near as good. All of today's dustbusters have non-pleated filters which completely clog in a minute of two if dust is sucked up. Our old CHV9600's filter lasts so long, my wife didn't even realize it ever needed to be cleaned. We would go months before I'd clean it.
Unfortunately, Black and Decker are now making much worse dustbusters with gimicks. No other dustbuster has a replaceable battery. Planned replacement cycle. In a few years you're forced to buy an inferior product from them again. Surprisingly, the competition hasn't made anything better either.
This dustbuster, the SPV1800 does have a pleated filter, the VF20. Its pretty good, but not as good as the VF100 from the CHV9600. Still it can suck up lots of dust before it needs to be cleaned.
This dustbuster overall seems very similar to the dustbuster we had in the early 2000's before our CHV9600.
Pros: Its the only dustbuster with a pleated filter that can suck up a good bit of dust before clogging up.
It has good suction, especially when the filter is clean. Some other current models have better suction, but only when very clean. Realistically, this one works much better.
I love that it has a replaceable battery. Theoretically, the vac should last forever. Just replace the battery and filter. We've never had a dustbuster fail other than battery wearing out.
Cons: Its expensive. Have to remove the battery to charge it up. No attachments. Our CHV9600 had crevice tool and brush which sorta work on this one. A big drawback is that you can't see in the compartment. Can't tell how full it is and can't tell what you've sucked up.
We're also trying a FHV1200 portable vac which also has a pleated filter, but typical B&D, the battery is not replaceable. No replacement battery is offered anywhere.
