Dustbuster Pivot Cordless 18V Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Pivoting Head, 8 Cleaning Positions, Charging Dock and Accessories, PV1820L-GB

There's literally nothing bad I can say about this hand-held vacuum cleaner, I absolutely love it... And I'm a male. The suction is actually better than our home's main hoover. It's easy to empty (you can even wash the filter bits 'n' bobs, and housing in water. The battery lasts plenty of time to get the jobs it was designed for done (stairs, car interiors, shelving etc) and the charging docking station, means that it is always fully charged when you need it for those sudden unexpected jobs, that always seem to crop up... plus, it's easy to just plop it into the dock after use, and equally as easy to pick up, when needed. It folds in half when not in use, or on charge on the docking station. And, If all of this wasn't enough, there's more... it's buid quality is excellent, exactly as one would expect from such a well known and respected brand name manufacturer. If you haven't noticed yet, I love this little vac... It is, by a very long way, the best hand-held vacuum I've ever bought. It is also, by an equally impressive margin, ONE OF the best gadgets I've ever bought. If you were to absolutely push me to say something that WASN'T high praise, the only thing i could say, would be, that it's a little heavier than many of its competitors... HOWEVER, it really needs pointing out, that this extra weight isn't because of poor design or cheap components, is purely down to the upgraded motor and battery, which gives this device such amazing power. A really powerful motor, gives this product as much, or more, suction power as many uprights have. I really can't recommend this vacuum cleaner highly enough... Well worth 5 stars *****

Bought this some months ago to replace a very much older dustbuster that the battery had finally given up on. I love it. Its wall mountable and fairly compact so I mounted it it on the end of the kitchen cupboards tucked against a wall, out of the way, at just the right height to reach down and grab it. So I use it most days, even if its just to pick up crumbs from the worktop. I've emptied out after most uses but recently took it apart to clean it thoroughly so decided now was good time to review it. Its a great little tool. Its powerful and picks up all sorts with no bother. It has quite a long cable to reach a plug so there's some flexibility on where to mount it. It comes with a smart charger so no overcharging is going on. Its very powerful for a small unit and is comfortable to hold. It feels very solid. The head pivots easily when holding in the pivot release button. Power button is right under your thumb. It does not have to be held, the power stays on as you release it and you have to flick it back to cut the power. There's an extending crevice tool to reach into small spaces and an integral brush head that folds back out if the way when not in use. The dust chamber is quite small as you'd expect, so needs to be emptied after every use really. There's a simple catch on the dust chamber cover, release it, fold it back and just turn it up over the bin. You may have to fish fluff out of the chamber as fluff tends to wedge itself in, as with any other vacuum cleaner. There are 2 filters. A plastic filter that encloses a fine pleated filter. Both are removable and washable. I had to use a brush and a blunt implement to clean out the pleated filter but its come up clean and perfectly reusable although it will need replacing at some point eventually. Replacements are readily available. I've not experienced any issues with debris falling out. You obviously to wait a moment to ensure everything has passed into the dust chamber before releasing the power and folding the nozzle back to store the unit. If you mount it before the nozzle is emptied then obviously that debris will just drop back out! One thing to note, if (when) you disassemble it for washing do make sure the plastic filter cage is clipped firmly back into place before using it again or debris will get into the motor and may cause it to burn out. (I thought mine was back in place but when i picked it up to use again i luckily noticed the filter cage was rattling about.) To sum up. I love it. I thought long and hard because when you can pick up a dust buster type cleaner very cheaply this seemed extravagant for something you only use for a few moments, a few times a week, especially given that our previous version had fallen into disuse because the battery was failing and it was in an awkward place outside the kitchen. But having located it in the perfect spot for my home to ensure it gets used I am very happy with this vacuum.

I bought this at the request of my wife, and she loves it. It's cleans well, is quite powerful for something that's battery powered, and the battery lasts longer than I expected. The unit actually looks nice too, as it's a very modern design. The pivot function is easy to use and useful. The unit is well balanced in terms of weight, but if you are weak in the arms you wouldn't want to use it too long. It's not as powerful as a corded vacuum of course, and will not get food out of very thick rugs for example, but works well on most surfaces. It's good for the car too as it has an in-built nozzle thing, but it won't get into the really tight areas of a car (though I think that would be the cast for most of these types of vacuum). Some people have complained in reviews about the air vent at the back, and reported that it blows the dirt about. We've had it for a few weeks now and not had this problem. You'd need to hold the unit very low to the floor and for the dirt to be very light AND for you to be starting to clean at the wrong end of the dirt, i.e. don't start cleaning in the middle of the floor and you won't have a problem (though, like I said, we have not had this problem at all). Emptying the barrel is mostly easy, though if you have vacuumed lots of dust or hair you are likely to have to get your fingers in it (or a stick or something thin) to pull some of it out as it tends to stick to the inside barrel. Overall, I would recommend this as a great portable vacuum to clean up small areas with ease, notwithstanding it's slight limitations.

A very good hand held vacuum cleaner. The best one I have tried. Far better than some dearer makes with great suction and very versatile

attention il faut un adaptateur pour la france

Excellent

Ich kenne keinen akkubetriebenen Handsauger, der eine stärkere Saugleistung hat. Gut zu reinigen. Alles perfekt.

My older Black and Decker was more powerful than this but unfortunately stopped working after one year! This one is of course smaller and maybe that's why it is weaker than the old one.

Sembra un buon prodotto , rumoroso na aspira molto bene
