Black & Decker PHV1800CB 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Energy-Star Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Reviews By Customers

I got this after trying out and returning a cheap Elta I saw at the BX. It was 1/4 the price but this hand vac is easily 4 times better and worth every penny. I can't say how long the battery lasts but the suction is very strong and it looks great. It's a bit bulky compared to other hand vacuums but because of the small size and rotary action of the nozzle, it gets everywhere you need and it's not too heavy. I am in a very dusty location and got it to keep a small dorm space picked up of crumbs and rogue hairs. It sucks up just about anything that will fit through the nozzle including bottle cap wrapper seals. The shelf packaging comes inside a Black & Decker shipping box that is about 13"x13"x8". After the required initial 21 hour charge it was ready to go. The light on the charging base stays lit any time the unit is docked and doesn't turn off to indicate that it has a "full charge." The manual says it can be docked indefinitely without warnings about overcharging. The charging plug is 110/120v only and not universal voltage. I charged it on a step-down transformer where I'm pretty sure the power output is still the input 50Hz and not the usual American 60Hz.

I decided on this one after seeing some mixed reviews of the newer B&D PHV1810. That one looks like they trimmed some bulk from the core, maybe some weight too. That wasn't important to me especially as it sounded like it didn't perform up to this one.

Best ever - momsher -
We have had many handvacs over the years. This one replaced an absolutely HORRIBLE 1 1/2 year old Dyson handvac. The Black and Decker is amazing - 10 times the suction power of the Dyson, easy to clean, and the battery actually lasts for quite a while. I would recommend this to anyone (especially those frustrated with the performance of other handvacs).

Black & Decker 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Handheld Vacuum Reviews By Customers

Ive never owned a hand-vac prior to this Black and Decker so I dont have a wealth of comparison to give. Despite that the experience so far has pointed to a good purchase.

The Good
- Solid, weighty feel.
- Ergonomic and intuitive design. Easy to operate and maintain by all ages without even touching the manual.
- Powerful, consistent suction. The first power rating, of two, is enough for most everything.
- Easy to empty.

The Difficult
- It is a solid item, the motor and battery making it fairly heavy for children and the advanced elderly.
- Loud while in use but a good indicator of a low battery as the sound starts to fade rapidly.
- Easy to empty but messy to clean properly, including emptying the reusable filter.
- Be careful of the canister door. Ive not had this happen but were the vac to fall from your hand when the door is open I can definitely see it snapping from its plastic frame.

The Odd
- The rotating nozzle is a good option to have available, adjusting to a wide range of angles. On the other hand...theres -nothing- to stop the debris youve just sucked up from falling out again. And this can easily happen when the nozzle is tucked to the underside of a somewhat full vac.
- The two included nozzle attachments (an angle and brush tip) are essentially useless.
- Replacing the battery. While not hard to accomplish the requirements for doing so might turn some away.

Overall Im glad to have purchased this Black and Decker. While it has some odd issues it does its primary job very well and thats all I can really ask at this price.

Also, if you find that you like this vac there is a vehicle-ready 12 volt 'little brother' available.

hand held vac - M. Nguyen -
this is more powerful than I had expected and is easy to use, charge, etc. but it is still not as powerful as a corded vacuum. It is absolutely wonderful for the interior of my car, but it doesn't have the power to clean my stair carpet runner beneath the brass rods on each step.

Good until it wears out - then it's a disaster - Blacky - Gotham
The good reviews about this vac are from people whose batteries haven't worn out yet. Yes - it's a very strong vacuum and picks up and traps fine particle dust. It's screams like a banshee while it's doing it though. The real problem with this machine comes when its battery life is over. That's when you discover that the battery is hard wired to the motor and the only way to replace it is buy a motor/battery combo which costs more than the original unit. As you can imagine, not many replacements are sold - so the consequence is, after a couple years use, the 'sucker' is going to spend how many hundred years in a land fill? And who's gonna clean that up?

Dirt Devil BD10175 Gator Energy-Star 18-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Detachable Brushroll Reviews By Customers

Update 06/16/10=is performing consist and pick up is better than most handhelds.


I previously owned a Shark 15 volt with roller brush. It is getting old so I am shifting it to car clean up only. So when I shopped for a replacement, it was down to The Euro Pro Shark 16.9 volt with motorized brush or this one. I could not find the Dirt Devil in a store to look at, but did look at the Euro Pro in the store.

I purchased the Dirt Devil because it had higher volts, the crevice tool is attached, and it is supposedly easier to empty the cup.

However, this DD does not have the immediate power suction my old 15 volt Shark has. You have to be more methodical about it, and run the thing slower over the areas. It picks up good though.

The Euro Pro has more bristles.

I like the attached crevice tool, one less thing to keep up with.

I really can't see the big deal that it is easier to empty the cup.

This is great. It does hard to reach spots and has great suction. I use it all the time.

Black & Decker PVF100 Replacement Filter for PHV100/PHV1800 18-Volt Pivoting Vac 4-PACK Reviews By Customers

Last Winter I bought a Black & Decker PHV1800CB 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Energy-Star Handheld Vacuum Cleaner.
It met my needs until I vacuumed up something wet - possibly wet leaves that had blown into my home. When that happened although I could clean my outer filter with soap and water, my inner filter became more clogged than a simple wash/dry would clear so I knew I'd have diminished vacuuming power until I bought a new filter. I bought these on Amazon at a much better price than I could find anywhere else. (I shop around) I got several months of good use and power out of the original filter until I made the mistake of tackling something wet.
Except for a design problem with the vacuum,(awkward emptying), I've found this hand vacuum very helpful around the house and in the car.

Easy way to buy filter - Excel Travelers -
The four pack seemed to be the best price.... Hope the vacuum lasts awhile now!

just right - Jan Maniatis - Colorado Springs, CO
My husband asked for a powerful little vacuum to use in his handyman business to clean up and for around the garage and truck. I didn't know if one existed but I looked and found this little guy. It is powerful, easy to empty, easy to use and easy to charge. I like the charging stand too - not so big, bulky and ugly. Like this little guy!!
