Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Handheld Vacuum
Customer Review: Powerful with Good Battery Life
Summary: 4 Stars
Powerful(this is not your mother's handheld) with excellent battery life. To be honest, I've never found much use for the pivot feature. The long nose does make it easy to reach places you couldn't otherwise reach with most vacuums. I love these powerful, portable, handhelds for quick pickups without dragging out the larger vacuum. I have 3 different brands/varieties each of which has its good and bad points.
Pros:
(1) Very strong suction. Really gets the dirt up
(2) Excellent battery life. Lasts much longer than I would have expected even when left off the cradle
(3) Long thin nose reaches places others cannot
(4) Very good filter design. Traps a lot of fine dust
(5) Easy to place on cradle and remove. The unit just sits on a contact in the base of its cradle. It doesn't have to 'click' or lock in place as some do; therefore, it can be easily removed with one hand. Just pick it up and go.
Cons:
(1) The long, thin nose will not accomodate some items: paper, leaves, etc. Depending on size, some items will not enter the nose at all due to size.
(2) Items other than sand, dust, dirt, etc will often get trapped in the long thin nose chute blocking it. When this happens, you will need to stop work to find something long and thin (clothes hanger, drinking straw, chopstick, etc to push the item through) This can be annoying. Things that get caught this way include leaves, pine straw, bits of paper or tissue, pretty much anything except dirt and dust.
(3) dust, debris, pet hair, etc tends to wad up around the filter area so that you cannot just open the door to empty it as stated. More often than not you will have to use your fingers to pull the [icky] stuff out of there. In the process, dust and debris is likely to end up falling back on the floor.
(4) accessories (carpet brush, etc) fit on the base unit not the vacuum. If you carry the thing any distance from the base and then find that you need an accessory, you have to go back and get it which is annoying. (Please find a place to put these things on the vacuum!)
(5) not the best for use on carpet. The Shark SV736K with motorized brush which I also own does a much better job on carpet, especially for picking up pet or people hair.
Summary:
I like this vacuum. I use it often, mostly on hard floors, and would readily recommend it to a friend. When I need to clean carpet, however, I use my Shark handheld with motorized brush except in the car where the long nose of this vacuum comes in very handy for getting into tight spots.
