Ratings & Reviews for BLACK+DECKER Cordless Car Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Good Hand Vac, ridiculous charger

Decent hand vac... I have had these for 25+ years...works fine...BUT this stupid charging base makes ZERO sense. Adds another cluttering countertop item and you cant charge it when its stored on the INCLUDED wall hanger! Make it make sense!

The 20v. Pivot Vac That is not Dependable

I've used Dustbusters for years and have never had any problems. I bought the 20v. Pivot Vac last week online because I wanted the extra power and the easy storability of the product. I wish I had read the reviews because I'm having the same problem: the battery doesn't hold a charge. I plugged it in overnight in a warm room and still nothing the next day. I'm so disappointed.

Dead on Arrival.

Really difficult to open and close the lid on the filters, battery came dead as I'm getting no LED lights, instruction manual I found online is no help at all. Doesn't work.

Super handy, good purchase

Love it with one caveat: the filter is hard to get out with my weak hands. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. Please post a how-to video showing how to disassemble for cleaning. Super handy with a messy toddler in the house. I haven’t had problems. The reviews are varied, but it has been a good purchase for our family. I recommend based on my experience.

Good power, poor life.

Great vac but long term battery life is not great. After a year of occasional use the vac won't hold a charge and will turnn off in under one min. The batteries are shot and are not easily replaceable when the rest of the vac is still in fine shape. If batteries were replaceable then vac would be fine but now it's destined for the trash. What a waste.

Stopped working

Bought this in 2022. We used it less than 30 times. Something was wrong with it as the suction was not great and it became so loud we were convinced something was off. Then if we were to turn it sideways while on, we would smell burning plastic. It seemed dangerous to plug in or use at that point. Shopping for a new one now

Pivot Lithium 20vmax

I have had the pivot vacuum for 2+ years. The collection bin door broke but I am still able or was able to use it until recently. It would not recharge. I thought it may have been the base so I replaced it but it still doesn’t charge. I read online that several customers were having the same issues as me. So, I will attempt to contact Black and Decker and based on their response will purchase another item from them or go to another (probably Chinese) product. In my opinion this product should ...

design fail

When attempting to mount the charging base to the wall, I found that the lower clearance hole intended for screw insertion does not align with the actual mounting hole, which prevented proper attachment.

Love it

After three years of frequent use, it still works like new. Outstanding product.

👍👍👍👍👍

LOVE the wide, adjustable nozzle!! Battery lasts a long time too.

Battery won’t stay charged.

I enjoyed the pivot while it worked. I’ve owned it for 2 months and the battery no longer holds a charge. It’ll run for 30 seconds or so and turns off. If I could replace the battery o would rate the vacuum higher. It’ll run is a bit loud but it got the small jobs around the house done.

Does not charge :(

I have this vacuum and have been using maybe 20 mins alternate week for about 7 months. It was working great. All of a sudden the battery does not hold a charge even for a minute. Also there is no sign of indicator if it is charging or not. Not sure if I have to replace the battery. Borrowed the charger from a friend still does not charge. I have about 9 various B&D products and this is the first one to fail.. plz help

Almost a year and it doesn’t sound good

I’ve had this unit for not quite a year and, while its performance is good, the motor sounds like it’s about to go. There’s a strong smell as if it were shorting out or a wire is burning. The unit runs but there’s an intermitent sound as if it were straining. I expected better.

Good suction - EXTREMELY LOUD

This handheld dust buster does a great job cleaning. BUT - it is incredibly loud, it scares both my young children and pets, I've never experienced anything like it. I would recommend the 16V option instead which is slightly less loud. I really regret buying this particular model.

When battery gets weak , you throw it away

I give it a 1 because when the battery will no longer hold a charge, you have to throw it away. That’s dumb because it’s good up until that point.
