Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review is for the BDH2000PL MAX Lithium Pivot Vacuum 20-volt I needed a replacement for my Black & Decker PHV1800 vacuum. The PHV1800 worked well for over 4 years until its battery wouldn't hold a charge. I used the PHV1800 to clean out my car. The BDH2000PL easily picks up sand from the car's floorboard. After vacuuming the entire car, the vacuum still has plenty of run time. The built in crevice tool is handy for cleaning around the car seats. The BDH2000PL seems to be the same design as the Black & Decker PHV1810, except the BDH2000PL has a 20V lithium ion battery. The BDH2000PL also has a rubber flap in the canister to prevent dirt from falling out through the nozzle. The PHV1810 reviews mention that dirt falling out of the nozzle is a problem with the PHV1810. The BDH2000PL comes with a charging cradle that can sit on the floor or be wall mounted. The cradle includes two screws for wall mounting. The vacuum has a dim blue light on its side. While the vacuum is charging, the blue light flashes. The light goes out when the vacuum is fully charged. The light also comes on when the vacuum is running. It seems that the designers at Black & Decker have finally listened to the complaints about their charging lights being annoyingly bright. You can't see the light on this vacuum more than a few feet away. The built-in crevice tool extends from the nozzle several inches. The crevice tool pushes into the nozzle when not in use. The built-in brush is attached to the nozzle. The brush folds out of the way when not in use. The filters on the vacuum use a simple twist lock. The filters can be easily removed for cleaning. The dust canister/nozzle can be removed for cleaning as well. The filters can be removed without removing the canister/nozzle. I am very pleased with this vacuum. I would recommend it to friends. I would buy it again.
