BLACK+DECKERdustbuster FLEX Cordless Handheld Vacuum, Home, Pet and Car Vacuum (BDH2020FL)

This little guy is amazing! It is smaller than it looks, and comparable in size to a "traditional" handheld vac. In terms of weight, it's actually lighter than many traditional handheld models. With the hose locked into position (like in the default product picture), it "drives" very nicely -- the center of gravity is basically right under the handle, so it maneuvers very easily without too much effort. I was worried about it being clunky or awkward at first based on its appearance, but it's actually the most maneuverable handheld vac I've ever used.With the hose detached from the handle, you can either hold the hose in one hand and the vacuum unit in the other; or, you can set the latter down next to you. Detaching the hose helps greatly with detail work, and also with cleaning in tight spaces (e.g. the car). The hose is 4 feet long and extremely flexible.The unit has a lithium ion battery, so it shouldn't experience power fade. It's very well powered, with strong suction. It won't best your upright vacuum, but it's more than adequate for vacuuming up dirt/dust/leaves/etc. in my car footwells, dirt and sand on the carpet, spilled dry foods in the kitchen, small pet food messes, etc. The crevice tool is great for cleaning in corners, baseboards, and other tight spots.This is one of the best home cleaning purchases I've ever made! I highly recommend it.UPDATE: 1.5 years in, and it's still going strong! Still every bit as great as the day I bought it. The suction is still very powerful. The filter rinses out easily in the sink, so there are no consumables to pay for. The battery still holds a great charge -- I've never run out of juice during use. Would recommend highly!!!

Bought this for our cars and for little messes in the house, like cat litter.Glad I took a chance after reading the reviews. Don't know what other people expected a small cordless vac to do, but it did what we needed.Surfaces: We used it on vinyl flooring, car carpet, graniteBuild: Hey it's plastic, so it is lightweight. Very good suction for something at this price point. But do remember this is no shop vac.Attachments: We pretty much only use one that is engineered well. Has a little flip brush on the end, so you can use it with the brush or without. You do have give a little bit of attention to the suction tube when mounting it on to the charger as it has to fit just so. Not a problem just reporting an observation.Cord: Adequate lengthSuggestion: I would pay a little bit more money of there was a way to onboard the attachments to maybe the charging base. Or maybe the company could engineer a snap on to the base to accommodate the attachments and sell as an add on.When this wears out, I will be buying again.

I live in a very small room, smaller than a studio apartment, and it is next to impossible to get a full size vacuum inside. The one we do have also lacks suction power for its hose attachment. Therefore, I decided that the best option would be a mini vacuum. But I also have a cat, who sheds a lot, and long hair, which also sheds a lot. There's a LOT of hair in this room.I have to say after using it for just one night, this product is fantastic. The build quality is amazing, the detachable tube makes it loads more convenient for a deeper clean than the average hand vac, and the pet hair attachment REALLY WORKS!! It does admittedly still take a bit of elbow grease to really get up all the hair but it's still better than doing it by hand. The main attachment even allows you to flip the brush down which makes it SIGNIFICANTLY better at picking up certain types of messes. The option is great.It's extremely easy to clean, with the entire assembly coming out for washing easily. The door is very secure and easy to clean out when needed. The charing stand feels a little cheap, and the included power cord feels rather cheap, but it gets the job done just fine so I can't complain.Amazon also accidentally sent me the upgraded version with the floor vacuum attachment. Although I won't dock any stars considering I didn't actually get charged for it, I have to say it's rather disappointing. The part is actually quite high quality, and it even has an agitator brush that can be switched on and off which is very nice, but I mostly found it useful for tile floors, like cleaning cat litter in the bathroom. Even then, it isn't stellar. A nice addition, but don't spend an extra $50 just for this if you want it.Overall a really fantastic product for the price. It was exactly what I needed for my small room and for my hair situation. Hopefully it lasts a long time, but we'll have to see. I will try to update my review if there are any problems.
