BLACK+DECKER dust buster PIVOT VAC Handheld Vacuum Cordless, Car Vacuum Portable Rechargeable, Extendible Crevice Tool and 200 Degree Pivoting Nozzle, Strong Suction, Lightweight (BDH2000PL)

This Black & Decker pivot handheld vacuum is a powerhouse. Great for picking up pets hair. I have two very large huskies and I have hard floors throughout my house. If you have pets you will understand what I'm saying when I say that the hair collects in the corners & behind doors, along the walls and behind bookshelves -in all those places that are hard to get to- no worries though! this hand held vacuum is the most powerful that I've tried so far for its type. it picks up those debris quickly and easily. it does have a couple of quirks. As some of the reviews have mentioned, the hinge broke on the door. Apparently this is a weak spot or design flaw that I hope Black & Decker can redesign for future models. I was able to put it back together but I am glad to know that I can call Black Decker and they may replace it for me. Thank you to that reviewer that gave us that information! I appreciate that info so much! I've used my vacuum for about six months. I love it so much that I am going to buy one that's similar from Black & Decker I'm going to buy the one with the hose because it looks like the exact same kind but canister style with a hose. it might be easier to get behind certain places. I am happy and impressed with Black Decker's hand held vacuum. I would highly recommend it for anyone that wants to get the job done and done well/ #1 in its class by my estimation. One last thing that is a bit of a drawback -when I bought generic filters that looked exactly the same, the generic filters do not fit well into the unit so that you cannot close it properly. I spent 20 minutes wrestling with it and just concluded that I would try and save you that same pain and let you know to buy the Black & Decker brand filters - that they will fit properly and you will save yourself a lot of of grief. I'd like to end this review with some positives - the vacuum is powerful - has great battery life - it is attractive and it fit well on its charging cradle - it will charge pretty fast - it opens and comes apart easily to be able to clean & although I want you to get the black & Decker filters they are reasonably priced and work extremely well. I hope you enjoy your new vacuum

My sister told me about this. It does everything she said it would. Powerhouse. Gets in all the areas others can’t reach. Under the couch , in the car floor boards. Under the beds. Lots of suctions and last. Set up is great and clean out is easy. Love it

Thank you Amazon for having a sale on this portable vacuum cleaner! I just got this about a week ago and only used it once for some light vacuuming of dust and hairs which worked perfectly. As directed by the instructions, I charged it for 24 hours, actually a little bit more, before first usage. I know using it once and plus for light usage doesn't speak well for my review but I want to point out that I have some history with Black and Decker Pivot vacuums. My previous portable vacuum cleaner was also a Black and Decker, specifically PHV1800. I had that vacuum for about 7+ years and I love the suction power and pivot design. Of course since it's cordless, the battery wore out over time. Now it only lasts a few minutes after a full charge. However I've never had an issue with it. In fact I never replaced the filter. I was meticulous in cleaning the canister and filter when it was medium dirty or sometimes even just light dirty. For the filter, I would shake out the dark gray junk and then use a toothpick to pick out the junk in each fold of the filter. Again because of the battery issue I thought it was finally time to retire the old one and buy a new one. I was a little hesitant to buy the BDH2000PL after reading reviews of the vacuum going dead after about a month or so for some unknown reasons. After some consideration, I decided to give Black and Decker the benefit of a doubt based on past experiences. I never had any issues with my previous B&D portable vacuum. Also years ago my family got a B&D Dustbuster and we never had issues then. So I am of the mindset that B&D makes reliable products at good consumer level prices. I like this vacuum so far and yes it hasn't died yet. Battery withstanding, this new one is a big improvement over my old PHV1800. It is a lot lighter and also has less mass. The canister can now be completely removed from the main unit for a thorough cleaning without lugging the the whole thing around like the old one. I like that the brush is now integrated into the nozzle. With the old one, the brush was a separate thing that I left plugged into the charger base and was too lazy or never noticed it to take it out and use it. The pivot feels like it has a smoother ratchet than the old one. One thing that worries me a bit though is the vacuum doesn't sound as loud as my old one. Maybe I am just equating loudness with suction power or I am not knowledgeable of any technology improvements B&D has done to this vacuum. I will just have to use it more to see how it goes. Oh one more thing, my old one actually has two "On" levels: regular power or high power vacuuming. Whenever I use the vacuum, the old one, I naturally push the switch up to the highest point until it stops. I forgot the old one's switch has a middle point before reaching the end. So I guess for my usage maybe the new one is an improvement because it removes the middle point which I never used. But so far this vacuum works. I also like the improvements over the old one so I'm convinced this new one is great. :)

GREAT household essential that, even after three (3) different purchases over a seven-year period, has the same head-scratching issue: dust cup door's hinge is STILL made of plastic and breaks after a few months' use, leaving the door at the mercy of something akin to Bernoulli's Principle in order to keep it closed during that period between being On and Off. Just had the door fall off while at rest, which scattered the remnant clumps of dust in the device (and is really what prompted me to finally review this item). Now, it was a snap to clean it all up, thanks to the superior suction action of the vac, but a wholly unnecessary pain point here. If B&D could figure out how to put a METAL hinge in place where the molded plastic one currently is, 'twould be the crowning achievement of an already-impressive run as arguably THE #1 handheld vac in its class (or any other, for that matter). Picks up everything with a gentle, yet powerful suction -- even some minor spilled liquid (drops). So, I wouldn't change a thing -- except to shut the door on the plastic hinge and test its metal, so to speak, on the next iteration of the device. If you can suck it up and live with a broken door fairly early on in the ownership, then this one's def for you.

I rarely write reviews, but I knew I had to write one for this item. This Vac is Outstanding! It gets everywhere & everything! The performance is fantastic, it's long lasting. If you charge it overnight, it'll last for a very long time. It's portable, great for the car or office, came with 2 filters. I love that it's cordless so I can take it anywhere. What I love the most is how compact it is, I can fit it nicely away & out of sight. It's so good I'm buying another! The only thing I wish is that Amazon offered filters somewhere on it's page, so that I wouldn't have to search for them. Absolutely buying again.

Finally a hand vac that actually works! This thing is powerful! Warning though, it's quite loud. And it is true, the battery doesn't last long with continuous usage - cleaning a car, say. But I'll take those imperfections for the suction power. Love it.

Update: 5/23/16 I changed my rating from 4 stars to 1 as the door for the vacuum fell off yesterday. I've attached a couple of photos. While the vacuum performed well and actually beyond my expectations it pains me to knock it down to 1 star. However, the door that fell off is obviously a critical part to the vacuum. If you look at the second picture with the close up of the two pieces of plastic that hold the door on you'll see that both sides snapped off where the plastic knobs fit into door. It looks like this was under engineered and under reinforced for such a critical component. The door needs to open multiple times during each use as the user unloads the garbage and then continues on so in reality this is the most used moving part on the entire machine and should have been built to withstand the abuse. Now comes the fun part of trying to get Black and Decker to fix or refund the vacuum. I was going to return this when I first got it since the suction was much lower than expected based on other reviewers claims and the manufacturers claims of strong suction. However, after use it turns out it has enough suction to get the job done. We have 1/4" shag carpet and stairs and this will clean up the visible stuff. The trick to making this device work (and my other recent vacuum purchase Eureka AirExcel Compact No Loss of Suction Canister Vacuum, 990A which I highly recommend) is a good and quick way to clean it. The manufacturer tells you to tap out the garbage and if needed was the hepa filter. While this will work it will still leave small dust and debris in areas that will require tweezers or pliers to get out. Washing the hepa filter requires drying which takes time. The answer is a blower to clean it. I bought this one a while back for my wood working Milwaukee 0884-20 M18 Compact Blower (Bare Tool) (I have big blowers, shop vac's, large wall mounted cyclone vacuum) and it is great for quickly cleaning this and the Eureka AirExcel. It'll blow out all the gunk stuck in the hard to reach places and blow the hepa filter clean. It's so easy that I clean after every use and sometimes after every few minutes during a big clean. So, a couple of other things about the vac. After the first charge I cleaned the stairs and our upstairs living room carpet on one charge. I've never had it run out yet. I've left it off the charger for a couple of days and it ran fine so not battery drainage going on when sitting idle. The biggest plus is my 6 year old thinks it's fun cause it's light and easy to operate so I'll find her cleaning with it without asking. Hope this helps someone out there make up their mind on this product.

Ok, as all other reviews said, suction is wonderfull, battery last between 10 to 15 minutes of continuous power, not bad, usually more then enough. Blue light blinks and unit shuts down as battery gets low, you can use it a few more seconds but unit continues to shut down till charged, cause ion batteries are not supposed to be drained dry, kills the life. Takes about 2 hours to fully charge, not great but not bad. Brush and crevice tool works great. Emptying the bin not so easy cause pre filter don't seem to come out, filter comes out easy, I haven't been able to remove pre filter yet, but turning bin up and down, and shaking it empties good enough, I know pre filter comes out, i didn't realize back behind pre filter opens, so easy to clean.. Everything works as advertised, unit takes a second to come on, haven't had any loss of suction, but only had it a week, so will see, black and decker batteries usually don't last great, but if I get 2 years out of it, I'll buy another if battery goes, np. Far as a hand vacuums, by far best I've ever had, can't ask for anything else except maybe a 24 volt battery, instead of 20 volt, as we live in Pennsylvania, we get stink bugs in summer days, I bought this so I can go outside, and suck up all bugs I can reach outside, then I empty them in the creek, we don't get many in the house, as I seal up my house well as we remodel, but the bugs tend to get into a window and die there, so doing that helps keep this from happening. I will never buy a product not lithium ion powered cause nic cads suck, I pay extra for lithium ion cause they are worth it, this vacuum not does not disappoint at all, did a lot of research, price no object, this is best I can find, no worries, just keep the box as some reviewers claim you need the original box to keep the warranty, idk if that's true, but I keep all boxes till warranty expires anyway, and I never had a problem getting a black and decker product fixed within warranty, they are usually really good customer service in my experience. So all I can say, great product, no need to look further unless price is a concern,.

This is a very powerful handheld vacuum cleaner. Very useful for picking up the bits from the kitchen and diing room floor. It's also good for cleaning the seats and floor of the car. Much better than having to get out the big vacuum cleaner. Just the job!

👍👍👍

Very powerful and good material like all previous models. Bit more noisy. Comes with american plug rated at 110V, so I used the old charger

The most amazing hand-held vacuum I have ever used OR seen. It has extremely strong sucking power, better than many full vacuums I have used. It's built with a long battery life for it's size; I have run 30 minutes straight for sure in one charge and I know it could have gone longer. The head is positionable to get any angle of cleaning done. It works great in the home, in the car, for small and medium carpet/rug pieces, chairs, stairs, on hardwood, etc. Has been working perfectly for over a year now! It picks up even fairly heavy items, pebbles, rocks. It does have trouble pulling out hair from carpets, but what vacuum I have used doesn't (For reference, my main vacuum is a $1500 Tristar top end vacuum that is better than Dyson -Dyson isn't the best, Miele is as an FYI). Easy to clean, with a washable filter. NOTE: there are three ways to 'clean' it; open the outer side section, open the inner side section, remove the filter. Always take 5 seconds to empty the outer section when you are done. Every so often, clean out the inner side section. Once a month at least for regular use, take out and clean the filter. The only drawback is if you aren't paying attention you can actually accidentally open the holding container, spilling everything. I will buy it again if I need to!

Das Produkt wurde leider mit amerikanischem Netzstecker geliefert und ist für mich so unbrauchbar. Sehr ärgerlich! In der Produktbeschreibung ist das nicht offensichtlich. Es gibt lediglich den allgemeinen Hinweis "US internationale Produkte möglicherweise von den deutschen Versionen abweichen." und "Verkauf und Versand durch Amazon US". Ich hatte mir nicht träumen lassen, dass dann ein Gerät mit amerikanischem Stecker ankommt. In Zukunft werde ich also auch auf dieses kleine Detail achten müssen. Dieser Ärger wäre nun wirklich vermeidbar.
