BLACK + DECKER Chv1410l 16 Volt Lithium Cordless Dust Buster Hand Vac

Product Information

For a budget-friendly handheld vacuum cleaner, this has all the adequate requirements you’d need for a great clean. A handheld vacuum is better for portability and convenience," said Leslie Tam, co-founder of Urban Mop, a professional house cleaning service. Additionally, you can pretty much give up on the idea of using this to clean up pet hair based on its performance in our pet hair tests, failing to clean both a couch cushion and the same automotive carpet after we covered them in pet hair.

The vacuum's exhaust comes out of the side, causing debris we hadn't had a chance to clean to go flying across the room. Plus, the translucent dirt bowl actually lets you see the dirt level, making it easy to know when to empty it out. However, since it lacks a brush roll, it struggles to get sand out of the carpet fibers and has an even harder time with baking soda. It doesn't come with a turbo brush or upholstery tool, which would make this cleaning task a little easier.

And while you wouldn’t expect much power in comparison to a full-sized cleaner, this gives it a run for its money. We considered 10 handheld vacuums and looked at factors like battery life, ease of use, and how they performed on hard floor, carpet, and in the car. With the BLACK+DECKER® dustbuster®™ AdvancedClean™ cordless handheld vacuum, you can easily tackle even the toughest messes.

Ever ready, the hand vac can hold a charge for up to 18 months when off the charger, and is lightweight enough to tackle quick pick ups around the home.

The most impressive of all was the long-lasting battery life, which held its charge for approximately 30 minutes in one round. While it struggles with picking up pet hair on upholstered surfaces, it still does a great job cleaning it up on bare floors and low or high-pile carpet.

Delivering a primarily poor performance in our tests, the Black+Decker CHV1410L earned one of the lowest scores we have seen to date. The CHV1410L features great power and suction for use on everything from carpet to ceramic tile to furniture and more. This lightweight hand vacuum packs a lot of power for such a compact design thanks to the cyclonic action and lithium ion battery that support its strong suction. Whether you're cleaning up large debris like cereal or smaller debris like rice, this handheld vacuum does an excellent job of making sure everything ends up in the dirt compartment, even when it's already filled with lots of debris. The CHV1410L also did very poorly in our battery life test, only running for around 10 minutes before dying.com/p/BLACK-DECKER-16-Volt-Max-Cordless-Lithium-DustBuster-Hand-Vacuum-CHV1410L/202948472" on this server. It also registered more than 1700 feet per minute (fpm) of airflow on our anemometer, which is quite a bit more than the group average of 1300 fpm or so. However, despite its super portable design, reaching under low tables or couches is challenging, even with the wand extension. This update builds on our previous 'Suction' test with a new ' Airflow' test that more accurately measures a vacuum's ability to generate air movement. The pull-out crevice tool provides an extra-long reach for accessing cramped areas and high spaces, while the flip-up brush is the perfect choice for dusting and cleaning surfaces like upholstery.

I particularly liked using it in the car because the crevice tool made it easy to get into hard-to-reach spots, and the light weight made it comfortable to hold in awkward positions. For a small handheld vacuum cleaner, the Black + Decker Dustbuster CHV1410L delivers a mighty clean. However, the Hoover has a longer battery life, a shorter recharge time, and is notably more effective when it comes to cleaning pet hair on most surfaces. It took other products less than 20 seconds to clean up the same mess, while we ended up just giving up with this one after a minute with plenty of mess remaining. Equipped with a Smart Charge Technology, this enables a quick charging time (two to four hours) and promises to hold its charge for up to 18-months.The brush is attached to the vacuum head, so you can easily flip it in place and don't have to worry about keeping track of an attachment. The cloth filter needs to be replaced every six to nine months, depending on your usage, but it isn't too expensive and can often be found in packs of six.
