My previous Black & Decker BDH2000L, which I had for years, recently the motor popped and smelled awful. I was afraid of using it. I decided to buy a new portable vacuum. Since I had several Black & Decker devices over the years, and I've had good experiences, I wanted to buy this one. It's lightweight and for the size, it's good. The design, is great though I wish the nozzle was longer. It comes with a small extension, but it's short. As a tall person, I have to bend down a bit more than my previous small vacuum. The vacuum suction is strong. Just as good as the previous one I had. But the noise level is very loud. If you have a baby or people sleeping, this will wake them up. What I like is the removable battery. For those who say the battery died when they got it, or it died later on, as far as I know, batteries aren't good in cold weather. Most people leave these machines in cold closets or in their garage. Cold weather ruins batteries in my experience. So far, the battery life lasts a long time. But it does take a long time to recharge. For the price, I think it's worth it. I like Black & Decker, and I've had great experiences with their products. If things change, I'll edit this review. But I hope the device will last a long time.

This is the best minivac that I've ever owned, though I've only had it a week. It is simple, and maybe lacks some things that make other vacs better (like an integrated telescoping neck), but it does simple vacuuming well. We generally use on kitchen tile and door mats. It has a large capacity and is very easy to empty. I read one review that said this didn't have enough suction?!?! Maybe they didn't' get the 20v unit (I think there is a 12v one). While it does move a significant amount of air out its side vents, that is probably part of why it has great suction. It does well at sucking pet food crumbs out of the pile of our rug/mat in the kitchen. Its like a mini shop vac. The add-on battery design is great. No reasonably priced minivac with an onboard battery is going to match the battery capacity. Using an external battery means that they didn't have to sacrifice battery size for space when designing it. You don't have to constantly set it to recharge like my old minivac. The battery is also a great weight counter balance. When you hold the unit out with one hand, it feels balanced, not heavy.
