Question 1

Compare & contrast to the other MAX vacs, BDH2000L and BDH2000SL? Which vacuums better? (noise etc is secondary)

Accepted Answer

Hi, my name is Austin.  I'm the product manager for hand vacs at Black+Decker.  A simple "better" between all these Lithium hand vacs is a tough answer but I'll do my best.  The Pivot (BDH2000PL) has the strongest suction and packs down the smallest for storage.  If you're just looking for huge power in a convenient storage size this is the one you want.  The Flex With Floor Head (BDH2020FLFH and BDH1620FLFH) are the most versatile and have the longest run time.  The 4 foot hose, accessories, and floor head make these perfect for floor to ceiling cleaning, picking up messes under the table, cleaning stairs, detail cleaning the car, etc.  The pet hair attachment on the 20V, and soon to be available separately (BDH200FVPH), works great for pet hair as well as carpeted stairs, car upholstery etc. The more traditional hand vacs (BDH2000L, CHV1410L) have the longest crevice tools and largest capacity.  The extra reach is great for getting cobwebs, bugs, and under and between appliances.  All of these units have the strong suction and fade free power that comes with Lithium ion battery technology..

Question 2

how long can it work?

Accepted Answer

Ours was purchased in 2013 and is only now becoming unusable due to limited charging power. I guess 10 years for a $53 purchase is a pretty good payback. I’ve researched others and can’t find any with all the features of this little work horse. Love it and am buying again, hoping for another 10 years. And even with inflation it’s now only $69 which isn’t bad…

Question 3

Approximately how long does a charge last?

Accepted Answer

I thought I had the same charging issue as everyone else, but it turns out the vacuum wasn’t sitting completely against the charger. If the arm is folded all the way against the handle while in the charger, the base doesn’t fully connect. When I extend the arm slightly away from the handle, the base fully connects and you’ll see the blue light stay on (indicating the vacuum is charging.) when the blue light turns off, you know the vacuum is fully charged.) It says in the instructions that you’ll need to charge the new vacuum before using.
