This Hand Vac has very little extra sucking power compared to an old 15.6 V, cheap competitor's version that I still have that cost half as much. I thought it would have much more power since it higher voltage. It is also bulkier than my old one so harder to use for a car interior or tight spaces. It lacks a "battery charged" indicator, and has no wall mount, so I have to take out the battery to charge the vac and reconnect it again when it is charged. This is inconvenient. Other models allow you to just leave the vac plugged in which I prefer and have a "charge complete" colored light indicator. Time will tell if this model will keep a charge if the battery is not used for couple of weeks without recharging. It alsocame with no attachments. They need to be purchased separately.
Also, no information came with the vac nor can I find any on the Black and Decker website, as to what tools also take this 18 Volt battery. It's great that it is interchangeable, but not great that you can't easily find out where else it works.
Black and Decker can do better!

I was looking for a powerful dustbuster and this vac filled my needs when I got it. The problem is the battery eventually will not hold a charge and it seems that every-time I go and get it to clean a small spill, the battery is almost dead and the power is dismal. Too expensive for what you get and should have been a lithium ion, not ni-cad. Really not a recommended buy.

Works well. I would have preferred an alternative to NiCad batteries. Update for the old Dustbuster seems to work well.

I have owned this vacuum for over a year. I have used it very little because it has low suction power.

I bought this at the store today and used one of my fully charged 18 Volt Black and Decker batteries I already had. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is because the battery is swappable with my other 18 Volt Black and Decker units. Unlike the weed-eater and other things, however, this lacks the power you would expect from an 18 volt power supply! I've had cheap crappy uprights with less power that actually had more suction. This manages to get a couple pieces of fluff, and some stray kitty litter, but only after several passes or creating a seal with the floor directly over the particles to be picked up. It'd be about as easy to just bend down and pick the offending particle up. This will be going back at the next opportunity. I expect a heck of a lot more power from a heavy hand-held that costs sixty bucks!
