BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster Pivot Cordless 18V Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Pivoting Head, 8 Cleaning Positions, Charging Dock and Accessories, PV1820L-GB

I like a good suck as much as the next man and the Dustbuster Pivot from Black+Decker has certainly delivered a satisfying experience. The obvious choice that I started looking at when purchasing a cordless vacuum was some of the Dyson models. However, the high performance and strong brand reputation sadly command a higher price tag too. So much to the extent that some of the entry level models are double the price of the Black+Decker. My past experiences with cordless vacuums have been poor to say the least. Most of them have the power of a nat's fart and I regularly found it more productive to get my Yorkshire terrier to hoover up crumbs from the floor. This particular B&D model is rated at 18v as opposed to some of their lower 10.8v and 14.4v models. Indeed, this 18v model is more expensive than the aforementioned 10.8v & 14.4 but, at around £60-£70, is far less than the equivalent Dyson without compromising on suction. It really does pick up a heck of a lot of crap from the floor and I regularly use it to clean my car or rooms in the house. When powered up, there is a reassuring high powered whirl from it's motor that sounds a lot more akin to a corded vacuum as opposed to one of the cordless variety. You name it and the B&D has picked up all, but the most demanding, rubbish that's been embedded in my carpets. Although suction power is most probably the most important element, it would not be a complete product if the rest of the components and design didn't live up to this high standard. However, I can happily report that as far as flaws go, there is very little to criticise with this product. The next highest priority on most people's lists will most probably be battery life. B&D rate this product at 10 minutes which quite frankly doesn't sound all too impressive. In reality, I've actually found the battery life to exceed the manufacturers claims. A nice change I might add. Couple that with the immense suction power and, in that time, you can get a lot of work done. Think of it this way, if it sucks up twice as good as a vacuum that lasts 20 minutes, then you will still be twice as productive since you've completed the work in half the time. What this basically means in reality, is that I can pretty much do the entire car with battery to spare. The overall ergonomics of this product are very good. It has a swivel head which allows you to manipulate it to a variety of positions in order to get into hard to reach places such as the top of bookshelves or door pockets in cars. Another very useful feature is that all the attachments are built into the device rather than having to attach them manually. This is great because it keeps it's footprint down to a minimum. Just pull the end of nozzle and out comes a thin extension piece or, if you have some thicker carpets, just flip the brush down from the underside. You can tell that someone has put real thought into the usability of this product. The vacuum comes with it's own charging station which is a nice touch. Things like this help to keep it charged up and ready to use when it's needed rather than having to manually plug a cord into the wall and vacuum each time you use it. The swivel head folds back on itself when charging to reduce it's size and the docking mechanism is very slick and easy to use requiring no effort to dock or un-dock it. There are very few negatives to this vacuum but there are a couple of small things that could perhaps be implemented in future models to further enhance the usability. Firstly, I find that the waste hatch can too easily come open which means on a couple of occasions, the vacuum has decided to spill it's contents on the floor. Secondly, as previously mentioned, the battery life is fine. However, because it's so capable, you just want to keep sucking things up and keep moving onto room after room. Something that the battery in this isn't designed to do. I can't really hate on the product for this as, at best, it was designed to clean no more than a car. If in a future model B&D decided to add a removable battery pack (even if it's sold separately), then we can effectively double the product's run time and tackle bigger challenges. A feat that I am sure this product is capable of doing. So, would I recommend this? Yes. Would I buy this again? Yes.

This vacuum cleaner is a god send !!!! it is absolutely amazing, with a strong succion power. I am truly amazed how well it works. every day I clean all kids mess after they go to bed, in 20 min the house is super clean. You can also use it for things you cannot do with your big vacuum cleaner like cleaning your wardrobe drawer. The weight: I have read reviews about the weight saying it's heavy. This vacuum is supposed to be used to do spot cleaning, not to clean a whole house for an hour so the weight is really bearable. my 3 years old can use it. But yes, indeed, it is not lightweight. The noise : it is true that it is a bit noisy but hey it's a vacuum cleaner. definitely more than my super silent Miele big vacuum cleaner but far less than my awful previous Electrolux vacuum. It is not that bad and again, my kitchen blender is much worse. Dust falling when folding the vacuum: yes if something is blocking the tube an leaves the little plastic door opened. Vacuuming pets hair : Wonderful, I put the little brush and vacuum my sofa and bed every day, in two minutes its super clean with no cats hair. I can also clean the rug on which my 10 months old crawls on, within seconds. I think I will never use again my big vacuum cleaner and leave it to the cleaner, this one is the best for me ! you can also use it to dust clean. With the brush you can clean computers, shelves, piano keyboard, tables, toy boxes play pads, etc, etc, etc... I love love love it. I STRONGLY recommend. Update after two years of use: I still love this little vacuum cleaner. the only problem is the little side door that has been broken twice. Black+Decker should revise this because it definitely breaks, even if you handle it softly. this is the same problem with the Black + Decker - PD1820L, same side empty door. Amazon has nicely replaced for free two times the device, because there is a 2 years warranty, but I know this will break again. So this time I have decided to buy the BLACK+DECKER 10.8 V Lithium-Ion Dustbuster with Cyclonic Action, 21.6 W that has more succion power (I was very surprised) and the dirt bowl is integrated to the vacuum. There is a button to press to take it off so not possible to break it and the nozzle doesn't pivot so no dust falling when folding.

Bought this to vacuum our cars. I read good reviews about this vac and wanted one with decent suction power. I had previously used vacs that you plug into the 12V car power socket, but found this type to be pretty useless with suction power levels on a par with that of a small gnat breathing in ! Amazon delivered it promptly and my first impressions getting it out of the box was that it was of a robust construction. Closer examination confirmed this - a good solid, well engineered product. First use was to vacuum up the mess in my wife's car boot area after returning from a trip to our local recycling centre with piles of garden rubbish. No matter how carefully you line the boot with protective sheets, there's always a layer of c**p that finds its way underneath them. The vac easily sucked up the debris - OK not as powerful as my upright Dyson, but still a decent suction power. The small nozzle means that it takes a little longer to cover a wide area like the boot area as opposed to larger nozzles you get on full size vac, but at least you don't have the hassle of trailing extension leads and manoeuvring around a bulky cleaner. Emptying and cleaning is straightforward and I like the idea of a reusable washable filter and washable dust container. You can buy spare filters although I think they are a bit pricey at nearly £9. You get about 10 minutes of cleaning before the lithium battery runs down - would be better if that was a bit longer as cleaning our three cars would be a bit of a push to do it in 10 minutes, but not a big issue. Charging time is about 3 to 4 hours. In conclusion - I'm pleased with it. It's a well made product with decent suction power.

Bought this some months ago to replace a very much older dustbuster that the battery had finally given up on. I love it. Its wall mountable and fairly compact so I mounted it it on the end of the kitchen cupboards tucked against a wall, out of the way, at just the right height to reach down and grab it. So I use it most days, even if its just to pick up crumbs from the worktop. I've emptied out after most uses but recently took it apart to clean it thoroughly so decided now was good time to review it. Its a great little tool. Its powerful and picks up all sorts with no bother. It has quite a long cable to reach a plug so there's some flexibility on where to mount it. It comes with a smart charger so no overcharging is going on. Its very powerful for a small unit and is comfortable to hold. It feels very solid. The head pivots easily when holding in the pivot release button. Power button is right under your thumb. It does not have to be held, the power stays on as you release it and you have to flick it back to cut the power. There's an extending crevice tool to reach into small spaces and an integral brush head that folds back out if the way when not in use. The dust chamber is quite small as you'd expect, so needs to be emptied after every use really. There's a simple catch on the dust chamber cover, release it, fold it back and just turn it up over the bin. You may have to fish fluff out of the chamber as fluff tends to wedge itself in, as with any other vacuum cleaner. There are 2 filters. A plastic filter that encloses a fine pleated filter. Both are removable and washable. I had to use a brush and a blunt implement to clean out the pleated filter but its come up clean and perfectly reusable although it will need replacing at some point eventually. Replacements are readily available. I've not experienced any issues with debris falling out. You obviously to wait a moment to ensure everything has passed into the dust chamber before releasing the power and folding the nozzle back to store the unit. If you mount it before the nozzle is emptied then obviously that debris will just drop back out! One thing to note, if (when) you disassemble it for washing do make sure the plastic filter cage is clipped firmly back into place before using it again or debris will get into the motor and may cause it to burn out. (I thought mine was back in place but when i picked it up to use again i luckily noticed the filter cage was rattling about.) To sum up. I love it. I thought long and hard because when you can pick up a dust buster type cleaner very cheaply this seemed extravagant for something you only use for a few moments, a few times a week, especially given that our previous version had fallen into disuse because the battery was failing and it was in an awkward place outside the kitchen. But having located it in the perfect spot for my home to ensure it gets used I am very happy with this vacuum.

I was keen on purchasing a handheld vacuum cleaner, as I had recently got a new car, and I felt it would be convenient to invest in something that is portable and practicable. I had previously purchased a handheld on Amazon which cost between £20-£30, from an independent seller. I didn't feel it had anywhere near the power I was expecting or required. So after doing some research into handheld Vacuums, I came across the BLACK + DECKER PIVOT 18v; I watched videos of it performing and was impressed, so I decided to buy one. I can honestly say that this product is top quality, and is adequate for my needs. The suction power is great, I'd rate it's power 5/5. For a handheld, it's comparable to a corded vacuum. It's a little heavy on the hand, especially if you've been holding it for the full length of it's run time, (approx. 10mins full charge). The extendable hose at the front of the vacuum is very useful - as is the pivoting mechanism which enables you to reach otherwise difficult places. There is also a useful brush pad, which folds out from under the tip of the main hose. Access to the filtration basket for cleaning can be done with ease by simply holding in the button which is located on the base of the hose at the top, and rotating the handle on the device round. The run time of this vacuum is sufficient for smaller jobs. The compromise of the lower battery life in comparison to some other handheld vacuums - which can be very costly, is worth it based on the sheer power performance of the suction. PROS: +GREAT SUCTION POWER +CONVENIENT, VERSATILE & NOT TOO HEAVY +EASY TO CLEAN, MAINTAIN NEG: -RATHER NOISY -SHORTER BATTERY LIFE THAN SOME OTHERS -NOT PRACTICABLE FOR LARGE JOBS

Summary: very good little vacuum that’s really versatile and easy to use. Quite heavy and a bit noisy but overall absolutely brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. Was a bit apprehensive due to the price compared to others but wow this thing is very powerful and the rotating nozzle with the pull out extension and brush make it very versatile too. It is quite heavy which was a concern at first due to being disabled but I was very surprised at how well balanced it felt min use, I guess the experience making heavy power tools comes in to play there! Once full it can be quickly emptied out the side or the filter can be removed altogether and washed and it’s really easy to do. Battery life is actually pretty good, managed to do the whole of my car and in the boot, my last main brand one didn’t manage that. (It’s a big car and boot, we have 2 kids and a doggo on adventure days!). The charging dock is smart and tidy, can be wall mounted if needed and holds the unit well. Pros: powerful, well balanced, very versatile, charging dock, manages pet hair, battery life, general ease of cleaning and charging Cons: quite heavy, is quite loud

There's literally nothing bad I can say about this hand-held vacuum cleaner, I absolutely love it... And I'm a male. The suction is actually better than our home's main hoover. It's easy to empty (you can even wash the filter bits 'n' bobs, and housing in water. The battery lasts plenty of time to get the jobs it was designed for done (stairs, car interiors, shelving etc) and the charging docking station, means that it is always fully charged when you need it for those sudden unexpected jobs, that always seem to crop up... plus, it's easy to just plop it into the dock after use, and equally as easy to pick up, when needed. It folds in half when not in use, or on charge on the docking station. And, If all of this wasn't enough, there's more... it's buid quality is excellent, exactly as one would expect from such a well known and respected brand name manufacturer. If you haven't noticed yet, I love this little vac... It is, by a very long way, the best hand-held vacuum I've ever bought. It is also, by an equally impressive margin, ONE OF the best gadgets I've ever bought. If you were to absolutely push me to say something that WASN'T high praise, the only thing i could say, would be, that it's a little heavier than many of its competitors... HOWEVER, it really needs pointing out, that this extra weight isn't because of poor design or cheap components, is purely down to the upgraded motor and battery, which gives this device such amazing power. A really powerful motor, gives this product as much, or more, suction power as many uprights have. I really can't recommend this vacuum cleaner highly enough... Well worth 5 stars *****

I originally purchased one of these in 2016 and LOVED IT. Forward to 2026 and a new one was needed - no hesitation I ordered a replacement. Next day (Prime delivery) my new B+D Vacuum arrived, and I excitedly plugged it in to charge and....nothing - charging indicator lights on the front were dead. Did the usual i.e. changed the socket the charger was plugged into, cleaned the contacts etc, then packed it back up and contacted Amazon on chat. Replacement and return organised, I waited for the delivery the next day. Unpacked, plugged in to charge, and again, nothing. Now I realise that some problems get through quality control, but 2 products within 4 days with exactly the same fault is a bit much. If it hadn't been for the fact that I had been using an identical one, with no charging issues for 10 years, I would have suspected user error! Unfortunately, I could not even try the old charger as I had already disposed of it. So, in conclusion, quality control is either non existent or I am the unluckiest person on Amazon.

attention il faut un adaptateur pour la france

Ich kenne keinen akkubetriebenen Handsauger, der eine stärkere Saugleistung hat. Gut zu reinigen. Alles perfekt.

My older Black and Decker was more powerful than this but unfortunately stopped working after one year! This one is of course smaller and maybe that's why it is weaker than the old one.

ممتازه وقوة الشفط جيده جداً

Sembra un buon prodotto , rumoroso na aspira molto bene
