"Good to have" product
By Shashankon
I bought this primarily to get dust out of the window channel and mattress (where power of conventional broom fails!) - and this product was as useful in both cases.
Writing this review after using it more than 5-6 times. Here are the pros and cons that I felt:
Pros:
1. Excellent suction power - even after continuously operating for 10 minutes.
2. Do not have overheating problems - at least I did not face one till now.
3. Accessories (fittings) are useful for corners, carpet, under bed etc.
4. Filter is quite durable and does not give away after thorough cleaning.
5. Has option to use it to inflate, however I have not used that till now.
Cons:
1. You have to carry the Vacuum in your hand (rather than putting aside and using the hose and accessories) this may be cause discomfort if used for long.
2. Flexible hose is quite short and IMO it could have been longer - this would have helped wrt above point.
3. I have not used any other smaller vacuum cleaner but capacity could have been a little more (though the suction remains good even when the indicator reads full)
4. I personally do not like cleaning the filter - I use an old brush and/or tap the filter against the wall to clean it - but that is not a great way of cleaning if you are allergic to dust.
Conclusion - IMO if your vacuum requirements are once a month or ad-hock basis types and not very frequent this is an excellent product to have.
Quite Powerful Little Workhorse
By Raghav Baijalon
I ordered this on Sunday & received the package on Monday Evening. Wow! However, the free Stanley 12 in 1 Toolkit was not delivered. I have raised a complaint, and am hopeful it would be resolved eventually.
About the product:
Its about as big as I expected & about as heavy (Which is not too heavy & relatively small). It is more powerful than I expected. Lighyears better than the wireless types. Those are mostly useless. I have a 1.5 year old daughter & she creates a mess atleast 3-4 times a day. Biscuits & random food items are spread all over the floor. The vacuum is very efficient in sucking up all the crumbs from the floor, centre table etc. Its also useful when the maid decides to abscond. Although the sweeper attachment is not big enough for cleaning every inch of the whole house. For those kind of jobs a bigger wheeled vacuum is recommended.
As mentioned by a lot of folks the air filter is easily clogged. Its similar to a filter used in Car air intakes although obviously much smaller. Its small size & very tight tolerances cause it to get clogged up quickly. Normally, the large sized particles end up in the dust collection pan. But the extremely fine dust which you normally wouldn't see gets caught in the filter and is kind of hard to clean. Ideally, they should have provided 2 more air filters in the box, but you only get the one inside the machine.
The filter can be cleaned as the vacuum also has a blower function. This is a tedious job & would have helped if they provided multiple filters so that we can keep replacing the filters as we clean & the clean all the filters in one go at the end of the session. I need to check if the filter is available separately. If so, I would definitely recommend buying a spare.
Pros:
1. Small & Light to use. (A little bit bigger & heavier than a steam iron.)
2. Very powerful for a handheld device. You actually feel it twisting in your hand when switched on first. If the filter didn't get clogged so easily & the 'T' accessory was wider (Currently 8"), you could consider this as a full fledged vacuum.
3. There is also a blower function for which you will have to attach to the opposite end.
4. Lots of accessories. Although I have little use for all of them. Some are handy.
5. Long enough Cable/Wire. No need to fiddle with extension cords. Even the body design makes it easy to wrap the cord around it without hassle.
5. The garbage collector is easily detachable & the garbage can be emptied easily.
Cons:
1. The Filter gets clogged easily. You can normally get away with multiple small odd jobs without the filter getting clogged. But if you expect to clean the whole house in one session, expect to clean the filter by the end of the session or in between depending on how dusty the house was.
2. The plug is a 2 pin plug, but it is of the thicker variety & will only fit in the 3 pin socket. So, if you have a socket with child protection, expect to carry a pencil to insert into the earthing socket hole. Or, you can always cut the wire & replace it with commercially available 3 pin plug.
Overall, good product & would purchase again. I only wish they could do something about the filter though.
Highly recommended buy
By Channappa Jagadishon
I have been using my Black & Decker VH780 vacuum cleaner for 3 weeks now. I must say I am a very satisfied buyer.
Pros:
1. Sufficient power for household chores. I use it almost daily to clean dust, hair, etc. off the floor. Very useful when you have a crawling baby at home.
2. Comes with a number of convenient attachments for different tasks. Nice design which allows you to setup the required length, shape, action (suction/blower), etc. I use the narrow suction attachment with full length, it serves many purposes like cleaning the floor, walls, fans, corners, furniture, etc.
3. Cleaning is simple, just need to remove the front portion and empty it. I haven't washed the filter yet, but again instruction manual is very clear about the steps needed.
3. Easy to store since the cord wraps around the vacuum cleaner. And it comes with a bag for storing the attachments.
4. Lightweight, hence easy to hold while cleaning.
Cons:
1. The cord length is quite long (~20 ft), wish it was bit longer. My home has very few switch points, hence this minor concern. Not a deal breaker.
2. Quite noisy, not sure where it stands in relation to other vaccum cleaners. Make sure your baby isn't sleeping while you use it.
Overall, its amazing value for money. A definite buy from my side.
Perfect value for money
By Mohit Bhartiaon
This vacuum cleaner is a beast. Super powerful and extremely handy. The suction power as well as the blower is simply awesome making cleaning so much easier than most other vacuum cleaners which only promise high power (wattage) but fail terribly when it comes to suction.
A lot of attachements make cleaning different areas a pretty easy job considering its small size and light weight.
A couple of things I really like :
- The device is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
- The motor of the appliance is ?tted with a thermal safeguard so it automatically switches the appliance off in case of overheating.
The only downside is that the filter gets clogged up pretty quickly and so you have to regularly clean/dust it out.
If you are looking for a vacuum cleaner, look no further than this. This is the best product you will get in this price range and believe me you will not be disappointed.
Small & Trendy, yet powerful
By Abhion
Pros:
------------------------------------
VFM!!!
Has both suction and blower capability.
Easy to handle, light weight and all kinds of accessories.
------------------------------------
Cons:
Gets heated up fast.
Filter size is small and hence needs frequent cleaning.
Good power, good suction
By Amazon Customeron
Good power, good suction. Did not get hot quickly as others seem to say but the filter does get dirty too quickly to do an extended round of cleaning. I place a hanky ahead of the filter so that it lasts longer. Also, a more detailed manual would have been appreciated, detailing the exact use of the attachments. The body is nice, looks swanky, but takes up a fair bit of space, so clear out some storage for this.
Total waste of money
By Satheesh Gopalakrishnanon
The machine over heats within 2 mins of usage and cut off automatically. It takes more than 15 minutes to cool and ready for operational. So utterly useless product, I can’t return it as the return window is already closed. I would not recommend it for anyone.
Very bad product bad seller worst Amazon service
By Amazon Customeron
This product stopped working after just used for 3-4 times.It is really worthless to buy such a costly product to waste money.Neither seller is helping nor Amazon is helping me to get it services. I am not able to find a service center in Hyderabad.
Good product
By Amanon
Only heating problem else all works fine.Set of attachments are really helpful.Gets heated in less than 5mins if used continuously. Suction and blowing both jobs are handled well by it.Overall a good product in this price range
No replacement filter
By Som Prakashon
The filter got completely clogged after just a few weeks of light usage. Washing and cleaning doesn't help any longer. Company doesn't sell replacement filters. Absolutely useless
Slightly disappointed
By Shahab malikon
One problem with this product every time you need to clean filter that is very irritating it's not for heavy use.
Absolute rubbish!
By Ninad Rathodon
dust retention is poor. the dust passes through all 3 filters and comes out the back. I was not expecting much to begin with, at this budget. i got this just to clean the window slider accumulated dust, I just got around to checking this after 15 days and i cannot return this. It may be my personal experience but this is just useless as a vacuum cleaner.
Portable and perfect for home use
By Rashmi Thakuron
I have been looking for a vacuum cleaner that is portable, yet powerful and this Black and Decker vacuum cleaner fits the bill completely. The small box fits snugly on a small shelf in my utility cupboard. It has many attachments for various requirements. The material seems sturdy and the suction power is excellent. I have not been able to find many flaws. Since it does not have a dust bag, it gets full quite fast, but that is not too much of a concern if the use is limited to an occasional upholstery and carpet cleaning (these have maximum dust !)
Slightly disappointed
