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

The media could not be loaded. I am an organic gardener in a hostile land roamed by plant devouring bugs and pests. The nemesis of every gardener here, organic or not, is the stink bug. Conventional farmers spray their crops half to death fighting this enemy while organic farmers and gardeners get creative. I purchased the Black & Decker CHV1410L 16 volt Lithium Cordless Dust Buster Hand Vac as part of my 2 part stink bug eradication strategy. So far, it works great! Early in the squash season (summer squash and zucchini are the stink bug’s favorite prey) I lift stink bug eggs from the leaves of my plants with duct tape. Inevitably however, stink bug babies emerge from the egg clusters I miss and begin killing my plants. (Rabbits could learn about rapid reproduction from the stink bug.) In defense of my helpless plants this year, I started vacuuming stink bugs from my plants every day and flushing them down the toilet. I pull hundreds of the horrible death creatures from my garden every day thanks to my Dust Buster!WHAT IS IN THE BOX: One hand held cordless Dust Buster vacuum and charging base. The vacuum operates on a lithium battery which is included.WHAT I LIKE: The battery on this hand held vacuum lasts longer than I do. I almost always give out before I burn through the battery.I can suck up lots of stink bugs before I have to empty the vacuum.Emptying the vacuum chamber is simple. The “quick” empty normally allows me to get rid of all the bugs, but when I have a stubborn batch, I can get at them from the filter side of the chamber as well.The reusable filter washes up easily under running water.I love not having to worry about a cord!!! An organic farmer friend told me he uses a shop vac to eradicate his stink bug population, but I don’t have an outlet anywhere near my garden.I love being able to leave the vacuum on the charger at all times without destroying the battery. I always have full power available.WHAT I DON’T LIKE: I really wish this vacuum exerted strong enough pressure to kill the bugs as I sucked them into it. I hate dealing with live bugs when cleaning the chamber.PICTURES: I am including pictures of the vacuum full of stink bugs as well as a shot of stink bugs in the garden.VIDEO: I am including a video demonstrating how well this hand held vacuum sucks bugs off my plants and even the debris covered ground.This is a great little vacuum. It does a great job sucking up stink bugs as they cling to leaves and straw and I can only imagine how great it would be at cleaning up stuff that doesn’t resist being sucked into it. Definitely a great purchase!

The media could not be loaded. The BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Handheld Vacuum is very convenient for quickly vacuuming crumbs, and dust, etc. or my favorite way to use it; vacuuming insects that fly in the house.The charging base makes it really easy to charge because it has a charging ring that allows it to charge 360 degrees so you don’t have to try and get it in the perfect position to charge properly. The vacuum nozzle extends and retracts to help get hard to reach areas. It has an attached brush for better dirt pick up on carpet or to protect wood floors etc. The nozzle can turn 360 degrees and is slanted at the tip to help reach small crevices. The blue indicator light comes on when it’s charging and turns off when it’s fully charged. It’s easy to clean with two ways to empty the dust cup, and it can be wiped on the inside with a paper towel. I purchased it mainly for its 16V suction which was the strongest I found for a hand held vacuum in my budget. It’s been about 10 months and it hasn’t lost any suction so far.One con of the BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Handheld Vacuum is the functionality of the detached brush. The brush is only usable when the vacuum nozzle is retracted.I definitely recommend the BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Handheld Vacuum.

Just bought a brand new car and have two kids, and parents that are messy lol. Needed something small to vacuum interior with and this does the job beautifully. Reaches those hard to get to spots in between middle console and seats, suction is great, I highly recommend. My son loves using it so much he is out vacuuming my car all the time. Only downside is it doesn’t stay charged for very long about 30-40 minutes. Not a huge downside unless you have a massive car or job to do, charges rather quickly. A bonus is it works great on stairs too.

Before buying this dust-buster I did my homework, and found that it is regarded as one of the best on the market. I had one (an off-brand) that did a poor job, and I'm so glad I replaced it with a trusted brand. For small jobs around the house, and especially for your car, this does a superb job. It is powerful, easy to use, and easy to recharge. The only minor complaint is that the manual said a mounting device was included, and it wasn't. I plan to buy a hook from a hardware store, so no problem. The directions are fairly clear, and it does an outstanding job of picking up dirt and dust. This is, without a doubt, the one to get.

I can't speak to other retriever breeds but for me, this tool can't be beat if you own a Labrador Retriever. Generally, I vacuum once a week and for those in-between times when I see fur balls collecting in their usual corners, I just snatch this handy Black&Decker dust buster. It does damage control with little effort until time comes for my weekly vacuuming. Does it work as well on Golden Retriver fur that's lighter, longer and fluffier? I have no idea. All I know is, I bought this product in 2022 and have used it probably once or twice a wk since. It shows no signs of quitting or loosing suction. I am good about washing it periodically. and save money using my lg vac to clean the fabric filter and actually hand wash it once in a while to save the bother and expense of replacing it. When I wash my dog's blankets there's always leftover fur clinging to the walls of the washing machine. I let it dry completely, then wedge this vac into my top load spindle style washer. It sucks up almost all of what's been left behind. It's wonderful to have a dependable tool that performs consistently. Good bang for the buck.
