Dustbuster Pivot Cordless 18V Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Pivoting Head, 8 Cleaning Positions, Charging Dock and Accessories, PV1820L-GB

There's literally nothing bad I can say about this hand-held vacuum cleaner, I absolutely love it... And I'm a male. The suction is actually better than our home's main hoover. It's easy to empty (you can even wash the filter bits 'n' bobs, and housing in water. The battery lasts plenty of time to get the jobs it was designed for done (stairs, car interiors, shelving etc) and the charging docking station, means that it is always fully charged when you need it for those sudden unexpected jobs, that always seem to crop up... plus, it's easy to just plop it into the dock after use, and equally as easy to pick up, when needed. It folds in half when not in use, or on charge on the docking station. And, If all of this wasn't enough, there's more... it's buid quality is excellent, exactly as one would expect from such a well known and respected brand name manufacturer. If you haven't noticed yet, I love this little vac... It is, by a very long way, the best hand-held vacuum I've ever bought. It is also, by an equally impressive margin, ONE OF the best gadgets I've ever bought. If you were to absolutely push me to say something that WASN'T high praise, the only thing i could say, would be, that it's a little heavier than many of its competitors... HOWEVER, it really needs pointing out, that this extra weight isn't because of poor design or cheap components, is purely down to the upgraded motor and battery, which gives this device such amazing power. A really powerful motor, gives this product as much, or more, suction power as many uprights have. I really can't recommend this vacuum cleaner highly enough... Well worth 5 stars *****

Bought this some months ago to replace a very much older dustbuster that the battery had finally given up on. I love it. Its wall mountable and fairly compact so I mounted it it on the end of the kitchen cupboards tucked against a wall, out of the way, at just the right height to reach down and grab it. So I use it most days, even if its just to pick up crumbs from the worktop. I've emptied out after most uses but recently took it apart to clean it thoroughly so decided now was good time to review it. Its a great little tool. Its powerful and picks up all sorts with no bother. It has quite a long cable to reach a plug so there's some flexibility on where to mount it. It comes with a smart charger so no overcharging is going on. Its very powerful for a small unit and is comfortable to hold. It feels very solid. The head pivots easily when holding in the pivot release button. Power button is right under your thumb. It does not have to be held, the power stays on as you release it and you have to flick it back to cut the power. There's an extending crevice tool to reach into small spaces and an integral brush head that folds back out if the way when not in use. The dust chamber is quite small as you'd expect, so needs to be emptied after every use really. There's a simple catch on the dust chamber cover, release it, fold it back and just turn it up over the bin. You may have to fish fluff out of the chamber as fluff tends to wedge itself in, as with any other vacuum cleaner. There are 2 filters. A plastic filter that encloses a fine pleated filter. Both are removable and washable. I had to use a brush and a blunt implement to clean out the pleated filter but its come up clean and perfectly reusable although it will need replacing at some point eventually. Replacements are readily available. I've not experienced any issues with debris falling out. You obviously to wait a moment to ensure everything has passed into the dust chamber before releasing the power and folding the nozzle back to store the unit. If you mount it before the nozzle is emptied then obviously that debris will just drop back out! One thing to note, if (when) you disassemble it for washing do make sure the plastic filter cage is clipped firmly back into place before using it again or debris will get into the motor and may cause it to burn out. (I thought mine was back in place but when i picked it up to use again i luckily noticed the filter cage was rattling about.) To sum up. I love it. I thought long and hard because when you can pick up a dust buster type cleaner very cheaply this seemed extravagant for something you only use for a few moments, a few times a week, especially given that our previous version had fallen into disuse because the battery was failing and it was in an awkward place outside the kitchen. But having located it in the perfect spot for my home to ensure it gets used I am very happy with this vacuum.

I bought this at the request of my wife, and she loves it. It's cleans well, is quite powerful for something that's battery powered, and the battery lasts longer than I expected. The unit actually looks nice too, as it's a very modern design. The pivot function is easy to use and useful. The unit is well balanced in terms of weight, but if you are weak in the arms you wouldn't want to use it too long. It's not as powerful as a corded vacuum of course, and will not get food out of very thick rugs for example, but works well on most surfaces. It's good for the car too as it has an in-built nozzle thing, but it won't get into the really tight areas of a car (though I think that would be the cast for most of these types of vacuum). Some people have complained in reviews about the air vent at the back, and reported that it blows the dirt about. We've had it for a few weeks now and not had this problem. You'd need to hold the unit very low to the floor and for the dirt to be very light AND for you to be starting to clean at the wrong end of the dirt, i.e. don't start cleaning in the middle of the floor and you won't have a problem (though, like I said, we have not had this problem at all). Emptying the barrel is mostly easy, though if you have vacuumed lots of dust or hair you are likely to have to get your fingers in it (or a stick or something thin) to pull some of it out as it tends to stick to the inside barrel. Overall, I would recommend this as a great portable vacuum to clean up small areas with ease, notwithstanding it's slight limitations.

I was keen on purchasing a handheld vacuum cleaner, as I had recently got a new car, and I felt it would be convenient to invest in something that is portable and practicable. I had previously purchased a handheld on Amazon which cost between £20-£30, from an independent seller. I didn't feel it had anywhere near the power I was expecting or required. So after doing some research into handheld Vacuums, I came across the BLACK + DECKER PIVOT 18v; I watched videos of it performing and was impressed, so I decided to buy one. I can honestly say that this product is top quality, and is adequate for my needs. The suction power is great, I'd rate it's power 5/5. For a handheld, it's comparable to a corded vacuum. It's a little heavy on the hand, especially if you've been holding it for the full length of it's run time, (approx. 10mins full charge). The extendable hose at the front of the vacuum is very useful - as is the pivoting mechanism which enables you to reach otherwise difficult places. There is also a useful brush pad, which folds out from under the tip of the main hose. Access to the filtration basket for cleaning can be done with ease by simply holding in the button which is located on the base of the hose at the top, and rotating the handle on the device round. The run time of this vacuum is sufficient for smaller jobs. The compromise of the lower battery life in comparison to some other handheld vacuums - which can be very costly, is worth it based on the sheer power performance of the suction. PROS: +GREAT SUCTION POWER +CONVENIENT, VERSATILE & NOT TOO HEAVY +EASY TO CLEAN, MAINTAIN NEG: -RATHER NOISY -SHORTER BATTERY LIFE THAN SOME OTHERS -NOT PRACTICABLE FOR LARGE JOBS

Excellent vacuum, great suction and easy pivoting to different angles for use. I use the pull-up brush tool to ensure that wooden surfaces won't get scratched and the crevice tool makes it much easier to clean up dust in otherwise difficult to reach areas such as tops of cupboards. There are clear diagrams in the leaflet that show which button controls shifting the angle, and which button releases the container for emptying. Its so easy to empty and the contents don't fall out when taking it off to clear and/or wash it. Was curious as to exactly how long one charge will last while on so used a stopwatch. From fully charged it ran for 12 minutes 53 seconds with a slightly lowered tone/sound for approx 1 minute before it stopped, although I expect that there might be slight inconsistencies in the timing between different cleaners. The noise level is about the same as my Vax upright. Its a bit on the heavy side at 1.391 kg but its manageable. On page 5 of the leaflet that comes in the box, it states that there it is guarantee for 24 months. There is also a reminder on that same page 5 to remember to register the vac and gives the web address to do this, and another link to find a list of authorised repair agents. Basically its everything thats needed in a handy compact but powerful vacuum cleaner.

Summary: very good little vacuum that’s really versatile and easy to use. Quite heavy and a bit noisy but overall absolutely brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. Was a bit apprehensive due to the price compared to others but wow this thing is very powerful and the rotating nozzle with the pull out extension and brush make it very versatile too. It is quite heavy which was a concern at first due to being disabled but I was very surprised at how well balanced it felt min use, I guess the experience making heavy power tools comes in to play there! Once full it can be quickly emptied out the side or the filter can be removed altogether and washed and it’s really easy to do. Battery life is actually pretty good, managed to do the whole of my car and in the boot, my last main brand one didn’t manage that. (It’s a big car and boot, we have 2 kids and a doggo on adventure days!). The charging dock is smart and tidy, can be wall mounted if needed and holds the unit well. Pros: powerful, well balanced, very versatile, charging dock, manages pet hair, battery life, general ease of cleaning and charging Cons: quite heavy, is quite loud

Had to return this as bought it to clean car, it says it comes with accessories picture showing flexi pipe and crevis tool but it doesnt. otherwise the vacum woks well and has good suction although a little heavy

Had this Black & Decker handheld vacuum for about a month now and it is fantastic. It has a surprising amount of suction power for such a lightweight device and runs for a good 15 minutes without any power drop-off. I'm a big fan of the looks and the folding nozzle keeps it compact when you drop it on its charging station. We use this in conjunction with our main vacuum cleaner, which is a robot vacuum. This is great for picking up all dust and dirt in the corners and creases that the robot vacuum just can't reach. The real big plus is how well it picks up dog hair. We have a labrador that molts as a full time job (hence the robot vacuum) and this is great at picking everything the other vacuum misses. Only thing worth noting is that the nozzle is quite small so its not very good for larger surface areas like main stair steps or sofa cushions unless you want to spend a bit of time on the task.

attention il faut un adaptateur pour la france

Excellent

Ich kenne keinen akkubetriebenen Handsauger, der eine stärkere Saugleistung hat. Gut zu reinigen. Alles perfekt.

My older Black and Decker was more powerful than this but unfortunately stopped working after one year! This one is of course smaller and maybe that's why it is weaker than the old one.

Sembra un buon prodotto , rumoroso na aspira molto bene
