Powerful, Portable, and Lightweight
"I use it at work mostly around my desk; window panes; corners, walk-in area into office; back of drawers. Perfect for vehicle use. I love it because the appearance of it looks nice that I don't have to hide it (it has a soft conservative look & color). It has a powerful suction; So easy to change the bag (not messy at all); I like the fact that it folds so easily for storing in small spaces. I get compliments a..." Read Full Review »

I had to return it after it would not start
"This worked great until I had to return it after it would not start after the second charge. Unfortunately I had to exchange for a Dirt Devil gator instead as the store did not have a replacement for me...." Read Full Review »

"I use it at work mostly around my desk; window panes; corners, walk-in area into office; back of drawers. Perfect for vehicle use.
I love it because the appearance of it looks nice that I don't have to hide it (it has a soft conservative look & color). It has a powerful suction; So easy to change the bag (not messy at all); I like the fact that it folds so easily for storing in small spaces. I get compliments about it, and others use it for quick clean-ups if they spill something, or to pick up confetti messes.
Drawbacks for me: Loud when when turned up high; has no place for attachments (does not come with attachment hoses); and it's not electric (as a result, I take it home to charge it (I don't like to charge it at work overnight for safety reasons).
Sorry! I don't have images because I just came across this site, and at end, realized you can put images, but I probably never be back at this site---sorry...I have no images!! :o)"

Powerful, long lasting
"I started out looking at the Dyson handheld, but ended up getting this Black & Decker based on reviews around the web. The most dramatic one was a Popular Mechanics video review comparing this against the Dyson and the Dirt Devil Cone handheld - the B&D; exceeded the Dyson on cleaning power, and the battery lasted much longer as well (the Cone was pitiful, BTW). The pivoting and telescoping head is surprisingly useful in practice, and the unit is well balanced in my use so far. Really like that the filter is washable and lasts up to a year, and that there is a knob to turn to temporarily clear the filter during operation to restore suction power. The dirt cup is very easy to empty as well (it uses both cyclonic separation and filtering) - just hold it over the can and push the button to open and empty the chamber. 18V battery and a handy charging stand means easy, compact storage and long life (our Euro-Pro Shark also picks up well, but doesn't last as long on a charge and the wall wart charger and no stand leaves the cord, and unit, just hanging around all ugly-like). Somebody really did their homework on the ergonomics on this baby."

Super powerlove it!
"I have had this dust buster for 2 years and it is fantastic. It has super strong suction and keeps a charge for a long timeonly once did I use out the charge! It is easy to clean out and durable, much nicer and much more powerful than the old ones. I use this item every day and have a very hairy dog as well as 3 kids."

So far, Very Pleased
"We have two children and a dog. I truly love our Dyson DC 7, but sometimes am too lazy to get the entire thing out, etc. I was hesitant to buy a handheld b/c in the past, the suction was not that good, etc. I am VERY PLEASED with going with this hand vac. Thus far, it has provided very good suction/power and is very convenient to use. The selling points for me were the 18V power, the adjusting nozzle, but most importantly was the compact storage/charge base. It really takes up less room than other models. I keep it on the kitchen countertop charging so it is within use. I cannot comment on the length of the charge, as I have only used it for short periods of time, to pick up dog hair on the sofa, cereal on the floor, etc., but so far, I do not regret at all buying this product and spending the extra money for the higher power, moveable arm, and compact design. Plus, emptying is a non-issue---a breeze!"

I love this hand-vac
"I got this hand-vac after reading many positive reviews about it online. It is great- really strong suction, good battery power and really easy to empty. Also, it looks weird and bulky in the pictures I saw online but it is actually much better looking in person when you see how the nozzle adjusts. Very compact and cute when it's on the charger. It's a little pricier than other hand-vacs but it was worth it to me to buy one that would last a long time and do the job right. Having this hand-vac has made keeping up with the housework so much easier. I would recommend this product to anyone."
