      I bought this Black+Decker vacuum cleaner but it only sucks very weakly. I am very dissatisfied. Once a piece gets a little heavier, it doesn't absorb it. What can you do there?

  • @wallygoots
    @wallygoots 3 года назад +6

    Here's why reviews on these don't matter. You can't swap batteries easily. Otherwise, you are buying a future landfill item that will work ok until they don't. I have the mid-level option in my classroom; batteries died soon after warrantee and then you're soaked or messing with soldering battery replacement knockoffs after cracking open the case. At home we have a similar hand held made by a tool manufacturer with a standard replaceable battery (the same batteries used in my drills, recip saw, and weed eater). These batteries outlasted my B&D with built-in battery by a long shot (still going compared with the B&D with run time at 10 seconds after less than 2 years of ownership). These handhelds are planned obsolescence products which annoys me greatly. Look to Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Craftsman, Ryobi Hitachi with replaceable batteries. Especially if you you already have a tool system or think you might need drills. The Hitachi is lowest price ($35 tool only) and comes with hard floor wand.

    Excellent job and possibly the best comparison review I've seen while looking for a good hand vacuum. Actually putting them to work in a side by side comparison is great.

  • @clakaw
    @clakaw 3 года назад +30

    I would go for the pivot one. As someone with allergic rhinitis and asthma, flying dust particles are definitely not my friends. I suppose it really depends on what you’re using the vacuum for. The cheaper variant is fine for large particles like pet food, the middle one for finer particles, and the pivot one for large and fine particles.

    You have no idea how helpful your reviews have been for me! Right now I’m kinda short on money cuz I moved and had to buy a lot of stuff and my Eureka vacuum cleaner broke, I was looking for a replacement specially for dust that I generate installing shelves. I was worried I was being cheap picking up the basic dustbuster. Turns out it is the smart buy (for me).

      I mean, really, why? Does anyone need a handheld vacuum that frequently?

  • @Sfaknak
    @Sfaknak 3 года назад +8

    The brushes at the front are for hard surfaces and loosening dust off fabrics. She should have noticed that when moving forward, the bristles would flick the sand forward making vacuuming ineffective. Hand helds are more effective when used in a backwards motion, particularly on carpets and closer to upright to allow larger objects get sucked in. These are all my experiences and I own the middle one. Love it except for the filter.

  • @HawkFest

    Thanks a lot for such a thorough review/comparison! Just one question: the one that you own, the pivot model, does it still have some power today, is it usable?

  • @NoferTrunions
    @NoferTrunions 3 года назад +4

    FILTER LONGEVITY: The real problem with small handhelds is the filters clog quickly. Cyclonics are much better but they are not perfect. FLOUR TEST: a great test would be to see how quickly flour clogs the filters. (This test would be like cleaning up drywall dust after sanding.)
    MAX: I suspect the battery is not replaceable which means it's a very expensive throwaway unit. I probably has the greatest suction power and a cyclonic filter so it's about the best you can do.
    MID: Appears to have a semi-cyclonic filter which should be a big plus regarding clogging.
    LOW: This is not cyclonic. The straight through "brute force" filters clog instantly when dealing with "drywall dust."
    OPINIONS:
    MAX: Not worth it if the battery is non replaceable and the unit is a throw away.
    MID: Probably best bang for buck when dealing with "dust."
    LOW: Good value but will be very frustrating to use when dealing with "dust."

I have enjoyed the versatility of this vacuum but I'm struggling to buy it again due to the battery issue and probably will try a shark handheld next time.

    Finally an unbiased non sponsored review. The black and decker (the middle one) is praised by critics everywhere to be best vaccume but most of these people are sponsored and payed to say something good about it. So I appreciate this consumer based review that is more to the point of showing the pro/cons with a more accurate honest analysis. Thank you.

    For around 120 USD (38,000 HUF) it was out of reach...BUT: just ordered the Pivot PV1820 for around 60 bucks on Black Friday today 😉. Pivot Auto has been in use in my new car for over 1 year, still working flawless, therefore I had no 2nd thought after seeing BF offer for around 60 USD for the houshold battery version. Pivot Auto has only around 15 airwatts, but it is still decent. I can just imagine what 35 airwatts will do.

  • @abdel-rahmanshakfa9576
    @abdel-rahmanshakfa9576 3 года назад +3

    Info on B&D 20V: it takes 3 and half hours to fully charge and run for 10 minutes if a full charge. the good thing is that it doesn't loose power gradually, it keeps running on full suction power then suddenly stops working. For me that is a good thing!

  • @JideaniSayz
    @JideaniSayz 3 года назад +3

    What a great review. Had to drop the 👍🏾 I think the best value has to be the black and decker though. The one you recommended is cheaper but to the cost of people's health. If it's releasing dust back into the air that can be very unhealthy, so spending money on the one you suggest can't be a smart buy, but...you get what you pay for. I would think people prioritize anti-allergen cleaners at this point. Anyway, i landed here because i was looking for the best handheld vacuum for my car but after doing some research i think the better move is to go with a 2 in 1. Do you think you could review any of the below? or maybe pit them together. They all have a handheld element to them.
    - Hikeren Cordless Vacuum
    - Deik Cordless Vacuum
    - Shark ION P50- Tineco Pure ONE
    - BLACK+DECKER POWERSERIES PRO

  • @JakeBlack999
    @JakeBlack999 Год назад +1

    Very well done review. I actually bought the pivot. $79 on Amazon. I always want more power and I don’t want dust blown out the back as I use it indoors and I don’t want dust blowing out the back all over the furniture etc. Yes I paid more for the pivot but for something I use so frequently I don’t want the hassles of the cheap one just to save $40. You get what you pay for. Just a note: all of these cordless vacuums, even the bigger ones, have a problem with the battery not lasting more than a few years at best. All of them. If you can find a battery powered hand vacuum $100 or less that has a battery that still performs like new with regular use after more than a few years, I want to know what it is. And if they made removable batteries like some of my power tools, those batteries would cost about the same as buying a whole new vacuum at this price point. It’s a trade off with these hand held units. They all fade after a while but you trade that for the convenience of no cord. You could get something like the dewalt cordless vacuum that uses a 20v interchangeable battery pack, but you are paying $150 for the vacuum (with no battery) and then $70 for the battery. So you are into it for $220. Again you get what you pay for.

    Damn that black+decker vacuum! I was bullied in Dubai Tower floor 18 partition where the walls are made of paper thin plywood. The boys of the partition kept knocking on my door and accused me of noise pollution because of the “drilling noises”, I fought back and said that it wasn’t me and it’s the one next door. When we asked the girl next door, she said that she doesn’t own any drill. I eventually changed flat and bought this black and decker vacuum and suddenly it dawned on me that those pesky “drilling noises” was someone using this vacuum all along.

    Oh wow. This answered questions I had and made me change which one I'm going to get! Since I'm going to be using it to literally dust things around the house and I'm hyper-allergic to dust, the filtration of the more expensive one will be key for me! THANK YOU for noting that aspect so clearly!!!

      @@kervalster I'm sorry I can't answer that. Some unexpected bills have arisen, so this purchase had to be moved to the bottom of the list.

    2024 here. Awesome Video. Thank You. I just ordered the Pivot Vac. Right now it’s just $71.79 on Amazon. Can’t wait to use it. Thanks again for the review and test 👍👍

    Well, I got the Black one Pivot lithium and I got it 2 years ago and I paid $49. I don't know where you paid $113 for that one? Anyway, do far it was a great investment and it works amazing and it comes with diferentes parts to vacuum tight areas specially to vacuum inside your vehicle. Beside that it runs out of battery. I think it works great
