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

have bought this twice now. once in 2020 and again in 2024.used on a weekly basis.for my needs, this thing is perfection. powerful, lightweight. i love how the “attachments” are built in because lord knows i would absolutely lose them and it’s nice to have them immediately when you need them.it does what it’s supposed to do…. pick up dust. but it’s also powerful enough to pickup coins, for example.battery lasts a good 20 mins at full power.easy to clean.will buy again and again.

Have to use the attached brush to get dog hair up, but this is quick work for cleaning an area rug. The photo shows a "clean spot" I made in just a minute. Use the brush to pull fur down to the edge, clear the brush, then flip it out of the way to suction gathered fur along edge. Also quick and easy for furniture. Feels lightweight but good quality. It has a low-profile charging cradle. You just stand the vac on it. If you take off the nozzle, it looks like a mini humidifier. Nothing ugly or obnoxious about it. Has a bright blue charging light that will turn off when it's fully charged.I cannot say that I think this would work very well on actual carpet, just flat rugs.It is also louder than I'd like. There's a little bit of a whistle that bothers my ear, but I can use ear plugs if needed.

Honestly would give it a 4.5 ONLY because the nozzle part that comes out is very sensitive when you’re using it and fails to stay out if you hit something, so I constantly have to be taking it back out because it’s just more comfortable to clean that way so I’m not bending too much. However, this is a GREAT vacuum for the price, I was so tired of the ones where you have to connect to an outlet and move it whenever you go, it made me never want to use it. The suction power on this one is amazing and the battery life is absolutely great. I use it every single day multiple times a day, and now with a crawling baby I want to make sure all the crevices of my home are clean and thus helps out so much. I have a cat who constantly sheds and we have so much dust at home, this helps out so much. I even made my mom buy the same one due to its convenience and suction power!

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.

Simple to assemble, simple to use, easy to clean, saves time and effort from using the big vacuum all the time, why did we not buy this sooner? No idea. Haven't run into any battery life issues so far so pretty much a win.

This little vacuum is a lifesaver for quick cleanups! Perfect for getting crumbs off the couch, cleaning out the car, or tackling pet hair on furniture. The suction is surprisingly strong for such a compact size and it's super lightweight to maneuver. Battery lasts long enough to handle most small messes and charges quickly. Love having it handy for those "oops" moments when you don't want to drag out the big vacuum. Essential for busy households!
