Black & Decker Pivot Vac 18V Cordless Pivoting Hand Vac - Cheap ...
When you unfold the front nozzle to go and use the vac, instantly, the entire contents of the previous vacuuming job dumps out onto the floor or counter depending on where you store it. I wrote this up to user error and neglect in the reviews, but... Black & Decker introduces a smaller, quieter and easier-to-clean vac with the same superior suction power as the original, best-selling Pivot Vac™. I had no problem with this and the only thing I can think of that might cause such a thing to happen is that maybe something too large got caught in the tube and everything else just got backed up behind it. Dirt Devil Cordless Vacuum Description... Another key feature is the removable, washable, translucent, bagless dirt bowl – which makes for easy, hygienic cleanup as well as holding 40% more dirt & debris than the original Pivot Vac™. The suction is amazing - I did not even know that anyone made a hand held vac with this much suction. Here is what I would consider the unforgivable achilles heal of this product:BATTERY LIFE IS VERY SHORT, EVEN FOR A CORDLESS VACI was skeptical of reviews talking about how poor the battery life is, because often I see reviewers who are new to... Finally, this vac folds in half for compact charging and storage. Since the battery on the old model is pretty much dead, I cannot give you an accurate power suction comparison between the two, but this one seems as powerful as when the previous model was new. As I'm comparing the two units side-by-side, the new vacuum is a little smaller than the previous model and the dirt bin is bigger (it should hold more dirt). with this new model, you'll have to plug and unplug the power supply on the back of the unit anytime you need to use it. If you want a powerful and portable vacuum, look no further. I bought it because of the product reviews but was a tiny bit hesitant because of the reviews complaining about the absence of cradle charger (which the old model had). For the last couple of months, the battery no longer retained a proper charge and since the battery is unfortunately not replaceable, it gave me an excuse to buy this newer model PHV 1810. The nozzle has a wide range of motions, it pivots to use at many angles and has a cleaning brush built into it (you just need to flip it upwards) so you'll never lose it again. Actually, I am really glad it does not have a cradle charger because cradles always take up so much room on the counter and you have to hold down the cradle and forcibly remove whatever is charging. One thing I liked on the previous model was when you needed to charge or use the unit. Cleaning the unit is very effective, you just click the side door open and unlike the older model, this one allows you to remove the canister and filter entirely and rinse them. As with the previous model, this is the best and most powerful handheld vacuum we've ever used in our household. I'm known for doing FAR too much research before I buy the smallest product, so it's no surprise that I was diligent to read many reviews here before I purchased this item which we use in our household daily. Also featured is a patented nozzle design pivots to access tight spots from any angle and on-board brush and extendable crevice tool.
