BLACK+DECKER 12V MAX* Dustbuster Cordless Hand Vacuum AdvancedClean with Charger, Filter and Brush Crevice Tool, HLVC320J01

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got dustbuster AdvancedClean Slim Cordless Handheld Vacuum by black and decker after my old one died. What made me pick this one was its sleek design, and that all the attachments store on the hand held vacuum. After charging the battery fully, I took the handheld vacuum to the dirtiest place in my house... the kitchen. I have a toddler and throwing his food on the floor wasn't just a phase, but a life style choice. So to have a Vacuum on hand is a must. Each nozzle provided a different function. The brush attachment helped sweep up fine dust, the extender is longer and skinny, great for getting tough to reach spots. and the other attachment that makes this handheld vacuum stand out from the rest. The coolest attachment opens up like a mouth, scooping up all the larger crumbs. This was great for getting my sons cheerios off the floor. The suction power on this vacuum is the best I've ever seen. The down side to this is that its also loud, but you cant have one without the other. Doesn't bother me but I know some people it does. To empty the cup is so very simple! All you do is twist, pop open, pull out the filter, and empty the cup, mess free! The cup holds an ok amount of debris. This is not really meant for big messes. The battery life is good as well, just enough for a quick clean up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this product for a couple of weeks now to really figure out the pros and cons. This dustbuster is a great mini size, so it's perfect for keeping in an office, or small type of space. It's light and the color are spot on. The color doesn't show much dirt, so it feels more clean. It's a nice and sleek design. Easy to turn on, easy to charge - and it does hold a good charge. However the only way you can place this is long and flat somewhere, nowhere to hang on a wall, and it's not possible to stand it up straight to take up less room. So not a deal breaker depending on where you keep this. Another thing I ended up noticing is when the extender arms are in it doesn't get flat down to the surface you're trying to clean up, which then leads to not getting all the crumbs/dust/etc cleaned up. When they are out it does a great job, and comes in handy to get a bigger space vacuumed up! Be ware when you go to empty this though! Open it directly over a garbage can. You have to twist it, and then you need to take out the filter to empty it. All in all, it's fine as a backup, or to keep in a certain room, but it wouldn't be my daily dustbuster..
