BLACK+DECKER dustbuster Cordless Handheld Vacuum, Home and Car Vacuum (HHVI315JO42)

This was the best money I ever spent when I began a home reno. I have used it to vacuum up EVERYTHING you could imagine. This thing is a workhorse, has a great battery life, lightweight, and is so easy to use, empty and clean. It is slightly noisy, but who cares! I don't expect it to be silent when I vacuum. I'm looking to retire this one to my camper, and I will be buying another one . You wont be disappointed!

First, let me say I've been wanting a handheld for a long time. It was an absolute pain using my upright to vacuum all the stairs! Which means the stairs were filthy! :) I was SO excited to get this!Then I received it. And let me tell you, first impressions, I had scheduled a return. Make sure you understand battery powered handhelds BEFORE you buy this and write a crappy review!I have a 3600 sq ft home. I followed the directions; charged for 16 hours, and then let it run all the way out, which only took a few minutes. Ok fine - first charge....I get it. Back on the charger all that afternoon, probably 6 hours or so. My almost 4 year old granddaughter wanted to "help" clean for Christmas; this vacuum is light enough for her to use and - at that age - FUN! So I let her get under the couch and in the kitchen under the cupboards. She kept turning it off and asking, "ok! What next?" And it lasted maybe 5 or 6 minutes. Well, maybe it was the on-and-off-again that killed it. Back on the charger. I tried it the next morning, and it lasted a few minutes. That's it - it's going back. I started a return.After it was charging for probably 20 hours - really folks, I didn't have a stop watch - I decided to give it the old college try and use it again. I got the edging done, the basement stairs, and a bit onto my area rug where I work out before it died. Could it be?? I started doing research on hand helds - Shark, Bissell, Black + Decker - you name it. Guess what?? I didn't find a SINGLE HANDHELD that boasted lasting 20 minutes; even the expensive $80-$100 handhelds lasted only 15 minutes.I'm not sure what my expectations were but I had hoped to edge everything and be able to vacuum the couch, my pupper's couch, stairs ... all in one swoop. Maybe that'll be possible after i get it good and then only have to sweep over it. But the fact of the matter is, whether you spend $35 or $95, you have about 15 minutes of good suction power before they shut off.Ok that's my story and here's my review!Pros: It is great for suction power. It gets the people hair and the pupper's hair very well (my poor husband - there are 4 female humans and 1 female dog in this house; he is the only male and does not shed like the rest of us). The attachments are wonderful! It is very easy to clean: just pop the filter out, shake, and back in. Rinsing it in water and letting it dry is a breeze as well, plus it saves money on buying new filters (i don't know if this is standard in these hand-helds). I like that it has a little wall piece where you can lock in and store the vacuum off the floor/shelf.Cons: Really, B+D, you could have put a little LED for charging. It would have cost 50 cents and you could have charged $5 more for it. I really want to throw charged battery life in here, but I've already covered it and it's redundant. Plastic. I hate plastic parts. The wall piece is plastic and I'm sure will end up breaking. It's not badly designed, but it's plastic!Overall: After educating myself on dustbusters/handheld vacuums, this is a great little vacuum, and especially for the price. If anything is going to change, it really needs to be a charging LED is installed. A battery life indicator would be nice, but since it only lasts 15 minutes, that maybe overkill. I would recommend this and now that I'm more knowlegable about these products, am excited to use it more!

A few disappointments from the start, it has a proprietary charging unit (You can't charge using a USB-C, and if you lose the charge unit, you're out of luck, however I will say that their website is well supported so you might be able to buy the part).No Charge light, you just have to leave it to charge and hope that it's charged.Pluses, comes with a crevice tool, and powerful suction, cleaning my couch, car and work area pretty well. Easy to clean, it pops off easy enough and it works well.There is a brush attachment that works better than I thought it would.Very comfortable and feels like it will last for many years.Suggestions-Buy a bag for a few bucks, cloth bag, and use that to travel with. Wish it had more attachments, looked online and I don't see where you can order anything.

The BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster HHVI315JO42 is a fantastic cordless vacuum! It's lightweight, powerful, and perfect for quick cleanups. The flexible design reaches tight spots easily, and the battery life is impressive. Highly recommend for hassle-free cleaning!

I have had this baby since 2020. I can’t rave enough about it!! Not only does it have a strong suction, but you can leave it plugged in ALL THE TIME!! Will not over charge. I just had to do a review, because this item is definitely worth the moola!! $$$

I bought this for spot cleaning my guinea pigs' enclosure. This vacuum is an absolute workhorse!Charging: it does not indicate if it is charging, low battery, done charging, etc, with any sort of light. It just dies when it runs out with no indication. Because of this i pig it in at the end of every day.Design: great for small bits. Cleaning my guinea pigs cage, it isn't big/long enough to handle pieces of hay and the inner seal will get stuck open.Noise level: loud, but not unbearably so. My piggies are uncovered by the noise.Cleaning: the vacuum chute (?) and filter are washable, and come perfectly clean with a good soak in hot water and soap.Pick up: an absolute beast when picking up. The only time it slows down is if it is completely blocked.
