There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
No broken parts, battery still holds a decent charge (I get about 20 minutes of uninterrupted vacuuming out of it at this point, which is more than enough for small cleanups), and the vacuum basically functions as it did when I purchased it.
This appears to be a solid product with a reasonable price point and proven durability, so it still gets 5 stars from me.

Original review below:
______________________________________
After several negative experiences with other vacuums, I wanted to wait to do a long-term review of this product because, for me, how a vacuum cleaner holds up to prolonged use is more important than my first impressions. I have now been using this vacuum for 2 years, so I feel pretty confident in giving this product 5 stars (i.e. I love it, with a few minor nitpicks).
Why I bought this vacuum: I wanted something to quickly pick up small amounts of debris without having to haul out the much heavier and more cumbersome upright vacuum. I keep it plugged into its dock in the main living area, so I can quickly grab it whenever needed.
Things I love: After buying this vacuum, I got golden retriever puppy, so it's safe to say that about 90% of what I'm vacuuming up nowadays has some amount of dog hair in it. Even though I didn't buy this for handling pet hair, this vacuum handles it flawlessly. In fact, I frequently use it to grab up the stray tumbleweeds of dog hair that often migrate into the various corners of the house (pet people you've probably dealt with this before). You'll need something much more powerful to get the pet hair out of carpets and furniture, but for hardwood floors, tile and other hard surfaces, it works great.
For those who don't have pets, there's still plenty of uses for this thing. I use it to grab stray crumbs on the kitchen floor in between deep cleanings. It's great at picking up small leaves and dirt that get tracked in near the doorways. During the Christmas season, this vacuum is my go-to for picking up the Christmas tree needles which inevitably end up scattered everywhere (much like the dog hair!)
So, in summary, I'd say that the vacuum is absolutely great for cleaning small to moderate amounts of debris off of pretty much any type of hard surface. I wouldn't recommend using it to clean pet hair or debris out of carpets or upholstery, although it can do so, provided it's not embedded very deeply.
Cleaning: The vacuum is bagless and can be disassembled into 5 pieces for cleaning which you can see in the photo. It's a pretty straightforward process since most of the pieces are plastic. There's a cloth filter which can also be cleaned or replaced, as needed. The filter pops out and can be emptied into a trash bin, the full disassembly is only required if you want to clean all the parts (I tend to do this after 2-3 times of just emptying the cartridge). After cleaning, I like to put a couple of drops of essential oils (peppermint, etc) on the filter, which gives the room a nice smell while vacuuming. So far the filter and all internal parts have held up well with only cosmetic damage from scuffs, etc.
Cons: There's not much to mention here, but a couple small things worth noting:
1. The top of the vacuum cleaner is one solid piece that has to be clipped into the rest of the body of the vacuum. It can sometimes seem like it is locked in but, if you do not do this correctly, the end will fall off during vacuuming. This can be annoying, as you have to stop and re-attach it again. I'd recommend future models include a better locking mechanism, or at least something that holds together a bit better.
2. Battery life is good; however after 2 years of moderate to heavy use, I get about 10 minutes of solid vacuuming before the battery dies out. I'd say this represents an overall degradation of about 50%, given that, when new, the vacuum could handle about 20 minutes before needing a recharge. This is, of course, a rough estimation, and I haven't compared performance to other vacuum models, just something to be aware of. It doesn't bother me much given that I only use it for small amounts of debris and not for vacuuming the entire house at once.
Who would I recommend this for?
-Anyone who has hard floors or surfaces they want to clean, without the hassle of a full-size vacuum.
-Dorm use
-Studio apartments
-People with pets who want a quick way to get hair out of their (non-carpeted) surfaces

This handheld vac is designed for small or simple spot-cleaning, or in hard to reach areas which don't require a corded vacuum. The list of uses are numerous, for pet hair, dust and dander or pollen, spills (it even pulls up a small amount of liquid, although a wet/dry vac is better for that first), I clean my Winix air purifier filters with this, to extend their efficiency and use, any cobwebs in overhead areas, curtains, and it is very handy for the interior of the vehicle.
The recharging time is very fast, and usually I can manage about twenty or thirty minutes before needing to recharge it on its base (included with the hand vac). When it is fully charged, the blue recharge indicator light shuts off, so it doesn't constantly glow softly. The motor on the hand vac isn't loud, the filter and prefilter only take a matter of a couple of minutes to clean, and it is so easy to open up and clean those that it only takes a couple of minutes after the first time. It only comes apart and goes back together in one way, so there is nothing to fumble around with.
If purchasing this item, you may want to buy it bundled with a replacement filter for a discount, to save eventual costs, however after nearly a year I'm still on the original one, and it is hardly showing any wear. I simply open up the hand-vac when it is about 1/2 - 3/4 full, dump out the reservoir of dust, dirt, cat hair, etc., and bang off the pre-filter and filter. In less than a minute, it is all snapped back together, and ready to go again!
It is rare that I leave a lengthy review for a common household item, however this one warrants it. I spend sometimes a few days or weeks reading through top reviews, and don't make impulse buys, I like quality, and if it costs a few extra dollars, it almost always pays off in the end. As a comparison, when I needed a handheld water filter, I spent months researching, and chose the Katadyn Pocket Water Filter, one of the best purchases I made for camping, backpacking, and essential survival. There is hardly any comparison, and although it cost a little more, after years it is in perfect shape, and was backed by a ten year warranty, almost unheard of for a product. The same with my chef's knife, the 8-inch Koto Knives Professional Gyoto Chef's Knife, with 67 Layer Damascus Steel Blade, VG-10 Japanese Super Steel, having worked as a chef, when I found this one I stopped looking, it has been the perfect knife for years, and for the quality was incredibly affordable, around $80.00 USD.
I expect that over its lifetime, the Black and Decker handheld vacuum will continue to prove equally helpful. The charging base and cord are included, it is light and durable, the ease of use and design is ideal, the two nozzle modes are already attached, nothing to take on or off, the brush folds out and back over the intake, so you can get in those tough places, and the motor and rotors sound strong and provide excellent suction for small jobs. The instruction manual is clearly written, in three languages, including the two-year limited warranty, you'll be out of the box, assembled, and running in a manner of minutes, and what once was a chore is now made easy.
I'll return to update this review in the coming year(s), however after a year of reliable service I recommend this product. B+K customer service stands by their products if you ever need them, and the quality and attention to detail shows in what they make.
*Confirmed Amazon purchase and customer, and I was not compensated for my impartial product review.
This unit performs well, IF you hold the nozzle up against the debris or dirt. Otherwise it will do a decent but not great job. If you really need power for suction there is no doubt the only way to go is choose corded over battery operated.
If you use the flup down brush the suction becomes diminished.
This unit despite it’s minor flaw of being sufficient for a handheld functions much better than others but less than a corded. Cleaning is kind of simple but a pain in the G cup due to any hairs or fibers that get suck on intake filter.
The base makes it easy and convenient to charge the unit. My only issue was the vacuum sits on it on a filt not straight up which at first makes you look for how to seat it properly on the charger.
I’ve had a B&D battery operate vacuum and hand tools in past. The batteries didn’t last so this purchase is their last chance to redeem themselves in the world of rechargeable batteries.
So far it works better than most but am concerned about what the battery life will be, and the suction could be stronger (it is stronger than other competitors portables).
Top reviews from other countries
The compact size of this vacuum is also a huge plus - it's easy to store in a closet or cabinet and doesn't take up much space. The battery life is excellent, lasting for several cleaning sessions before needing to be recharged. When it is time to recharge, the process is quick and simple, and the battery indicator light lets me know when it's time to plug it in.
The dustbin is also easy to empty, and the washable filter makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. I love that I can quickly and easily clean up messes without having to drag out my larger vacuum or broom and dustpan.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the BLACK+DECKER dustbuster Handheld Vacuum. It is a high-quality product that is powerful, easy to use, and highly portable. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and convenient handheld vacuum for everyday cleaning needs.
