Black & Decker HV9010P Portable Vacuum Cleaner

I did my research, I saw some negative feedbacks but I said its Walmart, I can take it back, they also now offer a insurance plan you can get for extra. I am glad I did, it is the most powerful. I hate cordless, batter life is never long, maybe 10 minutes. The attachment hose is not long so I modified an older hose from one of the other vacs that failed me. I have not used the rubber hair brush but I can see how and why it would work, I put the rubber brush together and ran it and its very strong and durable. I thought about dyson but the price is crazy and I don't see any changes in the future. It cleans out quickly but its grabs everything in its path. The main tank was not even full but the two filters catch everything and need some attention, I had to get a small nylon brush to get into the creased ribs of the filter. I don't care, after I saw all it got, I was happy and the machine did not get hot. it does blow air out the other end hard so be sure not to point it where you have yet to vac or it will blow any loose dust in the air. cord is long enough for me to reach over my king bed and vac the corners of the floor on the other side. CYCLONE NOT really, the intake is angled off to the side 90 degrees and turned down and not strait in so it does angle the air but its more of a ventrui than any cyclone tech I have seen. Still its powerful and it grabs everything I need it too. I have not tried nails or anything like that but I know it will pick up tacs and paper clips. I hope this helps. I did a walmart site to store and had it in 4 days vice the week or so it said on the web site. I am glad it came so quick. I don't know why they don't stock it, but to me its the best of the corded machines, but I have no clue how fast these sell , I'm sure walmart would stock them if they moved quicker. I got mine, get yours.

We got this to help pick up dog hair on our stairs and are fairly unhappy with it. It only picks up about half of what is on the stairs, and the hose attachment doesn't stay attatched. I would not recommend this product.

Pros: this little machine has lots of power and picks up everything quickly. It's not too heavy, either and the cord seems to be long enough. The attachments are very handy. Cons: The suction is so strong that I wish the machine had high and low levels instead of just one [on/off]. It would also be nice if there was a way to store the attachments onboard the unit itself.

I am highly disappointed with this B & D product. From the looks of the reviews some people seem to have gotten a really good product while others are left with a piece of junk. The problem I have is that I can't use the vacuum for more than 2 minutes at a time without it over heating. After about 30 minutes I can use the vacuum AGAIN but for ONLY 2 minutes at a time. Not worth the money I paid for it.

I could not believe the suction of this hand held vacuum. It picks up everything in it's way. Great little vacuum if you have pets, which I have a lot of. This is my second one. I liked my first one so much that I bought another. One of the best purchases I ever made.
