Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE- the more I use this the more angry I get that we spent so much money on such an awful product. We don’t have that kind of money to waste and this was such an awful product. I expected black and decker to be far more reliable! It can’t hold a charge, there’s hardly any suction, half the debris fall out, and it can hardly manage to vacuum up dryer lint! I desperately wish I could return it! Don't get me wrong, this hand vacuum works... but we could have gotten one for half the price we paid for this one (close to $70) For such an expensive hand vacuum I expected something much better. First of all, the suction power is weak (and it didn't just wear out over time because it's still fairly new) this thing can barely suck up fine beach sand... second the little flap that's supposed to keep the dirt in the chamber is constantly getting stuck open (regardless of what's being vacuumed up.) Third it often "spits up " debris that were already vacuumed up (even when that flap is closed properly and no matter how empty it is) And last it doesn't hold a charge longer than 25 minutes even though we left it on the charger for over a day when we first got it Overall yes this vacuum works fine for a little dust buster, and the pivot function is useful. However for the price I was really expecting higher quality and better performance.
