What's great about it: Great design, quality parts, good price.
Love this little guy. We have two cats in our 1000 sq foot condo with all hardwood floors it’s perfect for us. They did a great job on the design and they’ve used quality components. Well worth the price at $60. Here are some of my thoughts:
- The hose was a great idea. Very comfortable to use (easier to swing a hose rather than the entire dustvac)
- The hose allows me to point the motor fan away from the dirt I’m trying to vacuum.
- The hose stores conveniently and easily around the vacuum
- The hose end has a convenient flip down brush that I use when cleaning my white baseboards (avoid marks)
- The transparent dirt windows let you see when it needs emptying
- Dirt compartment is easy to empty and the filter is easy to clean.
- It’s relatively quiet (just loud enough to scare the cats, haha)
- It’s powerful enough to pick up dirt and crumbs
- Battery hasn’t died on me while using it (15 minutes at a time)
- It’s compact and sits on the floor in the corner of my home office

What's great about it: It has a long battery life, superior suction, very light
What's not so great: Motor is really loud
I love this little vacuum! It really makes quick work of vacuuming the stairs, my car, and litter spills. It is very light and easily handled in tight spots. Easy to clean. But it is loud, especially in a tight space. I suggest earplugs if you have sensitive ears. But a great vacuum nonetheless!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use and attachments carry a long with it, very easy to use.
What's not so great: So far we only have had it for a few weeks, but can't find any negatives with it.
If your looking for a Mini Canister Vac, then this is the one to get. We've had different ones over the years and so far like this one very much. To bad one can't buy it at your local hardware store and not have to order online......would be a great selling item in stores.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very convenient with the attachments and the flex hose.
What's not so great: Battery life is about 10-15 minutes.
My main complaint about this hand vac is the same complaint I have with all cordless hand vacs: Why can't there be a longer lasting battery or why can't it come with a spare that can be quickly changed out. Try to clean a car out in 15 minutes, and forget about mutli-tasking. Overall this hand vac is super convenient. It is easier to use than most and adapts to more situations which makes it even more frustrating when you want to do more but lack the longevity. Performance is on par with other black and decker hand vacs so there is no complaint there. For the short duration of the battery the price is about $15.00 high. I would pay extra for double the battery life or the option to change out batteries.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: strong suction, great pet hair tool
What's not so great: none
My wife had gotten me this mini vac as a gift (as most men were getting flatscreen TVs). As long as you don't use this to try to vacuum your whole house (as the other reviewers seem to be doing) this mini vac works GREAT for small messes and to pick up pet hair (the typical jobs of hand held mini vac/dustbusters). The suction is great...seems to be even more than the typical hand vac and definetly more than our 5 year old 14 volt Black and Decker dustbuster. The vac can be a little on the heavier side. The pet hair tool works well, removes hair stuck to the couch easily. I think it is important to follow the battery charging instructions in the manual.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Excellent suction; while its there that is. Good accessory tools
What's not so great: Batery life is terrible. Almost unusable, and no way to plug it in.
OK, I really should have read the reviews on this one before buying it, I didn't.
As mentioned before, the battery life is about five minutes at best; and worst of all there is no way to pug this vacuum directly into a wall outlet to make it run for any reasonable amount of time.
It would be nice if Black and Decker, who really do know how to design tools (The reason I bought this sight unseen) would provide some way to plug this thing in directly to a wall outlet. But it is designed to only be able to use it's battery and its battery run-time is terrible. If you actually get a full five minutes out if this before it has to back into a long charging cycle again (Oh, yeah, its a very long time to recharge it) you will be lucky.
I bought this based on Black and Decker s reputation, their reputation has just gone down in my eyes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: compact, light weight, long hose, great attachments
What's not so great: only about 5 minutes of good suction time, maybe 5 min tolerable suction, after that, you are done vacuuming
I bought this vac so I could do quick cleanups in the car because I let my daughter eat snacks in the car and she gets crumbs everywhere. For that purpose it's great, no plugging in, just run out to the car with it and vac off the seats, car seat and some on the floor. That's about all its good for because the suction drops off so fast. The battery will run for more than 10 min, but the suction isn't there. Easy to dump out the dirt, but anything bigger than dirt, there is no way to get in there and dig it out, like hair or grass. If the suction stayed good longer, I could deal with that part. But I'm glad it works for the kid messes in the car. I think this should have been a $20 vac, not a $60 one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
