I'm actually very surprised at the suction strength of this Black & Decker handheld vacuum. It's great for picking up small dust balls or hair from hard surfaces. The attachment isn't as useful as you think because the brush hair is short. You can't really dig into anything with it. It's not as good on carpet as a normal vacuum cleaner (you shouldn't be using this for that anyway). This comes with a wall mount and mounting it is the best way to charge this device. Otherwise, the charging base just sits there and it's quite an eye sore. There's no cable that you can plug into the vacuum itself and you must use the plastic/flimsy base. There's also no charging status light for the battery so you won't know if it's full or near empty. Although the vacuum is relatively lightweight, i can't imagine using this for more than 5 minutes without feeling a bit tired and having to put it down. And this is partially because you have to hold down the power button to keep the vacuum on. I'm not sure if my product is just defective, but keeping my thumb on the power button is not efficient and ergonomically healthy.
Pros
- Great suction for smaller hard to reach surfaces
- Wall mount
- Easy to clean filter
Cons
- Cheap and flimsy charging base
- No charging status indicator
- No constant on (you have to continuously hold down the power button to use)
