BLACK+DECKER dustbuster furbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Pet Handheld Vacuum, Home and Car Vacuum (HLVA325JP07)

I think this is quite simply a amazing little vacuum. At under $60 I was a little worried about if the suction would be strong enough for me to use and it without a doubt gets the job done. Whatever job you need done its strong enough to get the job done. I purchased it for my SUV and it cleaned the floors and seats perfectly. The pick up speed gets up everything without having to constantly run the vacuum over the same area a bunch of times and thats a HUGE plus. This has one button release so its easy to empty. The filter is reusable and this vacuum is light enough for you to carry around the home or out to the car. Again I think this is a must have in every home.

BEST PET VAC EVER! I am in love with my fur babies again! My husband laughs at me, but I am pretty ocd when it comes to pet hair; plus it stirs up those allergies! I was using up 2-3 lint rollers a week picking up pet hair from my sheets, furniture, etc. Plus I was actually changing the bed sheets every other day! So I looked for a powerful hand vac to help with that work. And, boy, did I find it?!! I read the reviews, which were mostly positive. The ones that weren't, I figured I could live with. This vac is the BEST hair remover I have ever seen! I use it now on my sheets and it picks up even the finest dog hair! I'm back to doing my sheets less often now - which is a real time-saver AND money-saver! Today I couldn't put the little vac down! I added the dusting brush and did my entire apartment. Yes, it lost charge after about 12 minutes, but the amount of work I was able to do in that 12 minutes was awesome! Plus, when it was time to charge, I used that time to sit and have a cup of coffee, do some laundry, and just relax - knowing that it wouldn't take me much longer to do the rest of the apartment. Just knowing that I don't have to get out the chemical cleaners every time I clean, and paper towels (a LOT of paper towels), is way worth it to me.One comment I read was about the air blowing out of the sides. Yes, it's strong air, but I kinda like that fan blowing - keeps me cool while I work! :-)Another comment was regarding the small charging cord and it's "awkwardness" in having to adjust it just right in order to attach the cord. Come on, people! Not a problem for me at all. Yes it takes an extra second to attach; big deal. Overall, this is WAY worth the price. Just picking up the hair alone makes it a five-star product for me. Thanks, B&D!

I hated this vacuum. Like, hated it with a fiery passion.First off, it's SO loud that it terrified my pets. I wouldn't use it if the windows were open, or if it was late enough that my neighbors were sleeping, because I was afraid it'd wake them. I have a full sized canister vacuum. This small handheld is at least 10x as loud as my canister on the canister's highest setting.The suction sucks. And not in a good way. There's no suction setting, no way to increase the suction. You get what you get. I had a small - maybe 2 x 1 inch - spider web in the corner of the track of a window. A small dry sage leaf was caught in the web. I extended the 'nose' of the vacuum, so it'd be easier to maneuver it into the corner. The vacuum didn't have enough suction to suck up the web and dried leaf from 1/2 an inch away. The vacuum won't suck anything caught in the brush attachment into the interior of the vacuum, either. Given that it's advertised as being good for pet hair, and that the brush attachment is the logical choice when vacuuming pet hair out of the creases and edges of furniture, that anything that gets stuck in the brush has to be cleared out by hand is a problem. Because ALL the pet hair gets stuck in the brush.This vacuum is heavy, especially for a handheld. If it was uniformly heavy, that'd be one thing. But it's not. All the weight is in the bottom. When using it, the heavy bottom has to be held perpendicular to the floor or higher than the suction tube, depending on what you're vacuuming, so all that weight is dragging on your wrist as you fight against gravity to keep the butt aloft. Not only is it tiring, it makes maneuvering the much lighter suction end with any finesse difficult.The suction end telescopes; it can be pulled out about six inches. If it's pulled out to maximum extension, it gets kind of stuck. The 'nose' doesn't withdraw to the shorter length easily. Twice I've had to push on the end of the nose to get it to go back to original position. Both times, the mechanism went from stuck to fully withdrawn so quickly that the edge of my palm got caught between the nose and the body of the vacuum, pinching the skin with such force that it cut my hand.The vacuum only runs for about 20 minutes on one charge. My last hand vac ran for about 45 before the battery depleted. If you're using this to vacuum the creases of a car and underneath the seats, or you're doing all the floor, cabinet, and furniture corners in the house, 20 minutes of operation won't get the job done. Having to stop part way through to let the battery charge for a few hours is annoying and inconvenient.All in all, the only thing I liked about this vacuum was the color.

I bought this handheld Black and Decker vac for its advertised pet power. It is very good with pet hair--picking it up and not getting impossibly tangled. I like that it seems to have good battery life. Seems substantial and fairly rugged. The spinner head is very good and it has the best suction with this self-powered attachment installed. The suction is somewhat lacking when using just the bare nozzle or small brush attachment.The nozzle and dirt chamber are one unit that detaches from the vac for emptying. That unit can be a little tricky to reconnect to the vac and if not snapped on just right, it can pop off unexpectedly.Overall, the vac is a good value and I use it frequently to vac my stairs, which it does quite well with the powered cleaning head installed.

I bought this to be able to vacuum out my car when I wanted too easily...I absolutely love this...It charges quick, easy to clean it out, and has powerful suction...Not only do i use it for my car, but I use it to vacuum under my couch cushions and my area rug...3 dogs..It cleaned everything wonderfully.

Bought this item listed as used. It is easy to handle and works OK. It has a very touchy release button that has caused it to open and drop the contents all over the floor.

So far I like the vacuum. I purchased one , used a couple of times. Then I purchased a second one. Suction is good. Easy to use. Not a bad price for the vacuum.
