BLACK+DECKER dustbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Handheld Vacuum, Compact Home and Car Vacuum with Crevice Tool (CHV1410L)

As an Airbnb host, I needed something lightweight, reliable and effective for quick cleanups between guests —the Black+Decker Dustbuster AdvancedClean is PERFECT! VALUE FOR MONEYThis little vacuum is powerful enough to handle crumbs, dust, and even pet hair on upholstery and floors. It’s easy to grab for spot cleaning and fits into tight spaces where a full-size vacuum can't. The battery life is more than enough for my needs, and I love that the translucent dirt bowl makes it easy to see when it needs emptying.The filter is easy to clean, and it charges pretty quickly too. It’s made my turnover process so much faster and more efficient. Highly recommend for anyone running a short-term rental!

If you are considering this item-please view the videos that others have posted. They are great!!. This little pickup vac is just as stated not meant to replace a full size vac for a house more important are those little spills, dryer vent(drives me crazy)not anymore. Worse those little baby bugs before summer that somehow get to my windowsills and of course pickup in the car. Thanks for a good product!!

Received this yesterday. I decided to get this mostly to vacuum the dust and lint that accumulate in my computer's air intake grill and to clean up all the junk that appears in and around my computer area. It seems to work well in that regard. It is LOUD however! But, it has to be in order to have the suction power that it has.I do like the clear walls of the dirt trap. That way, you can see when you need to empty it. We'll see about how well it filters fine dust. My biggest complaints are that it must be stored (and charged) sitting vertically with its nose literally up in the air. The charging system consists of a wall wart and a plate that sits on the floor/counter and the vacuum sits (loosely) on the plate. It would have been great if charging were a simple male/female DC power jack sort of affair and the male piece capable of being placed in a plate so that it could be hung from the wall. Or, even better, the male end could be removed from any plate whatsoever and loose, so that you could physically plug it directly into the vacuum and then the vacuum could be hung from a wall with a larger hook through the handle, nose down. But, I'm sure it was designed the way it is to be more ergonomic and to be capable of being used "on the go". Oh well.One concern I had was in regards to the blue LED that illuminates while being charged. For some reason, I felt that it would be illuminated the whole time the vacuum sat in charger. Thankfully this is not true! I verified this morning that the LED goes out after the vacuum has been fully charged. This is good because that LED is BRIGHT.My mom had a Dustbuster back in the 80's which worked well for us. I'm assuming this unit will work well for me, 40 years later.

For about one year's time, on and off, I have tried to find a cordless vacuum to be used primarily in my car. I knew that above all else it must use a lithium battery because my previous hand vac (and plenty of other devices) used Nickel Cadmium batteries. They are so consistently terrible that I refuse to ever buy something that uses Ni-Cd batteries again. My last hand vac being a Dirt Devil which was useable for about 5 minutes at best, and though I tried to maintain the battery properly it was still ruined within about a year.One of my favorite websites to shop is Woot.com and they frequently sell vacuums of all shapes and sizes from Dyson. I had bought (and I do really like) my DC-25 upright ball vacuum. So I was leaning heavily toward buying a cordless DC-34 vacuum which can be used as a hand-held or as a floor vac. The major downside: They are insanely expensive! The best price you'll likely see is about $170 for a refurb. Two other things persuaded me to look elsewhere as well: The battery lasts about 10 minutes at best (but usually about 7 minutes of usefulness), and the thing is rather large and bulky for a hand vac.So, off to the web I went to try and find a vacuum with decent ratings and a lithium battery. I eventually stumbled upon the Black & Decker CHV1410L. I'm glad I did.The vacuum features an attractive design, it's compact, it's got an absolutely tiny charging base (and still functional, happily), and other course...a lithium battery. One likely won't need the user's guide to figure out how everything works. Disassembling, cleaning, reassembling, and using the vac are all quite intuitive. Still, the manual offers all the information you'll need while being brief. You can read the entire guide in just a few minutes.Happily the vacuum is a bag-less canister design, and the filter is a mesh design which is easy to clean. Aside from the battery eventually wearing out, there's nothing else you'll need to buy or replace in the lifetime of this vacuum. A major improvement over older hand vacuums to be sure. Not bags, no foam or paper filters!Right out the box I put the vacuum on it's charging base and the battery was full within an hour. One thing to note is the extremely bright charging indicator. While it doesn't bother me I was still surprised how bright it is. You can practically use the thing as a night light ;-) The charging base itself is refreshingly small, simple, and functional. It's a disc perhaps 5 inches in diameter, virtually flat, and the vacuum simply rests on top of it. It's very easy to seat the vacuum on it and getting it to charge.The vacuum itself is very light weight and I'm glad that they went with a tapered design for the business end of the nozzle. It makes vacuuming tight spaces much easier and gets the job done well. The nozzle features an interesting flip down brush which is convenient since you don't have to worry about losing the attachment but unfortunately only half of the assembly has bristles. It works well enough but I'm thinking it'd be better to have a full brush attachment.Suction for the vacuum is excellent and compares to a floor vac with hose attachment for effectiveness. It actually outperforms the aging plug-in canister vacuum I had been using to clean my car. Out with the old, in with the new I suppose! And this one is cordless!Noise level is less so than most floor vacs but this device isn't exactly quiet. I'm not complaining about the noise level but you wouldn't want to vacuum in the middle of the night. Your family and neighbors wouldn't appreciate it! ;-)Battery life is very good for a cordless vacuum. Thus far I've only needed it for about 5 minutes at a time but I did use it once for approximately 10 minutes straight and the suction was mostly consistent. I notice that the suction is strongest the first 2 minutes of use, it then drops off a bit but is still fairly consistent the rest of the way through. Consider the first couple of minutes Turbo Mode or something like that! In any case it's a huge improvement over my previous Ni-Cd vac which was useable for only 5 minutes before beginning the steady decline to uselessness.A note: Disassembly and cleaning are a breeze, though you might have to fidget with the nozzle to get it to lock down tight with the base. Try rotating the nozzle assembly back and forth to get it locked down. If you don't the nozzle end might fall off during use.One thing to consider though is that you'll be paying far more for this cordless vac than you would for a corded one. You can find a corded hand vac that performs just as well for $40 or less. Is the premium worth the convenience of a cordless vacuum? For me, yes it is. But if the price bothers you I'd strongly recommend a plug-in vacuum over the future landfill you'll otherwise buy if you go for a cheap cordless. Ni-Cd batteries are garbage!So, in closing. This is an excellent cordless vacuum with powerful suction, a good design, and at least 10 minutes of useful battery life. I'd recommend purchasing it over ANY vac with Ni-Cd battery. Look for pricing to be $80 or less.

Honestly great. I've been using it for two years and the only problem is that the white part sometimes comes undone and falls off. Considering that I've put it through a lot, it's doing good. I've even vacuumed moist things with it (shouldnt have done that) and it still lived afterwards lol

We bought this Black N Decker Dustbuster to replace an old model which worked wonderfully for many years. This one is similar to another one we bought within the past 5 years, but we needed two -- one for each end of the house. It works great, but unlike the last one we bought, the instructions say to wash out the filter once per month. My husband finally checked on the filter over the weekend and said he could blow it out just fine with his blower. It works great. Wish I didn't have to worry about a filter, but I would buy this one again.
