Black & Decker Dustbuster Pivot PV1810

Great little vacuum – Just as the other battery operated vacuums it doesn’t last long, not even 5 mins in this one’s case. But such good suction and angles you could turn it to and extend the head. I personally love it for the little quick crumb vacuum without bringing out the big wire vacuum. It’s a great price too, bought it 2 Christmases ago and still happy with it :)

Brand New and Charging Light Will NOT Go Off – We just bought a brand new Black and Decker Dustbuster to replace the Black and Decker Dustbuster we had for over 20 years. Not happy this new one doesn't have a docking station like our previous model but that is not my point. The charging light will not go off after 3 days of charging. The dustbuster is fully charged and now the unit is… Read more

getting hot. What to do? Please advise. I didn't buy this to have to go through the hassle of returning it, etc.... Unfortunately, nothing is made to last anymore but at least give me 3 years!!!! Sad state of affairs! Black and Decker used to be a brand you could trust. What happened?

pivot 18v is not charging – We got pivot 18v vaccume cleaner and it works well for 18 months and used few times. We noted it was not charging. Where can i buy 27v charger? Or parts? Google it and still i could not find any. Seems like discontinued. Can you commetz where we can buy chargers?  Show details

Doesnt hold a charge – The suction is great, I loved using it! But it no longer recharges, and hasn't for over a year, I just havent asked about it before now. I would buy another if this wasnt normal. So many times things are made cheap for the toss and rebuy,.. I didnt even get a year use out of it.  Show details

Great product - can't fault it – We bought the 18v version and have been totally impressed with it. I love the rotating head with the tools built-in, which saves you having to use a whole bunch of detachable tools that can easily get lost, which is what happened with our last vac. The extendable crevice tool is nice and long - perfect for vacuuming the car. The dust is easily… Read more

emptied and the dust filter is pretty no-fuss and easy to clean too.

The suction is the best of any hand-held vac we've ever owned - it even gives our corded vac a run for its money, and I seriously recommend getting the 18v model for the extra power. Battery time is good, we just keep it charged regularly and it's ready to go. All in all, it's a serious winner. Not cheap, but definitely good value.

Very good at what it does – We wanted a simple dustbuster to deal with quick pickups around the house (we have a Ragdoll cat and a Spoodle, both of which track hair and dirt through the house like nobody's business!). My husband also wanted something that could be used to clean the car. The Black & Decker does exactly what it says on the label. We use it for everything from… Read more ·  1

picking up cat litter that's escaped the laundry to cleaning out the runners on sliding windows and doors. It does a good job on the car mats and carpet and is gently enough to use on the leather couch without causing damage.

Excellent – I use this for a quick clean up and it excellent for that job. The lithium battery has actually never run out on me. Filters do need cleaning regularly but the suction is great of they are kept clean. This is not a full size vacuum cleaner so I would not clean the entire house with it. Also great for a quick car clean.  Show reply

Chugged along for 3ish years – Ok, so the battery is just starting to die on this handy little guy. Been used daily since we bought it, cleaning small mess and doing the car etc. Cleaning it out every couple of weeks helped keep its suction. Never changed the filter, but was always careful cleaning it as it was fragile. Obviously a redundant model, but if I could get a replacement battery it would be worth keeping around.  Show reply

not worth it – powerful vacum but it doesn't outweigh the cons cant find filters anywhere, even Godfreys say they have them in store only to find out that they have to order it in extremely noisy messy to empty, it has all these chambers etc to pull apart and cleaning the reusable filter doesn't really clean out that well I use the hand held Dyson at work it it is worth the extra money

A lazarus dustbuster! – My dustbuster sat useless for over a year. I thought it was a waste of money until i was told and shown how to clean the filter! they really are a great little vacuum, the fact that it wasn't used but worked immediately is also proof of the quality of this product. I suspect all the one stars haven't cleaned their filters either. Unfortunately… Read more ·  2

the accompanying pamphlet didn't mention filter cleaning.

2 YEARS LATER: still working beautifully - same strong suction. a mighty machine. I've discovered a small problem - its impossible to buy replacement filters for this item in Australia. Ultimately i bought a pack of 4 from Amazon online - $19US and $7US freight - very reasonable.

Great little portable vacuum cleaner – The Pivot Vac PHV1810 by Black and Decker is a handheld, battery powered vacuum cleaner. It has great suction for cleaning small, medium and large particles from our carpet. You can see how strong the suction is by the way it pulls the carpet fibers up as it cleans. I had always thought of these small machines as not much more than a toy and the… Read more

first one we bought (different make and less powerful) wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. The Black and Decker one is great.

Great little DustBuster, not too expensive – I was tossing up between this & the Dyson one but went with this due to cost. Does the job well & it's compact size is great for storage.

Great design, lots of suction power, long-time to charge – Walked into harvey norman ready to spend $259 for a dyson dc34, but had this on special at $119 and went with this one instead, knowing that 18v should be enough for what i need. the dc 34 is rated at 22.3v and is probably better, but i have a dc20 if i need to do a bigger cleaning. Surprisingly powerful, a tad heavy, but overall happy with the… Read more

purchase. Design, suction power, base charger, blue led light while charging Long time to charge, extra filter would have been handy, spare parts availability not as dyson

Excellent – Love it! Wish I'd bought one sooner. House looks much cleaner now. Easy to empty. Easy to clean filters. Great little vac. Lots of power, don't have to discharge after each use like I had to with my old hand held vac (and what a nuisance that was!) just sit it back on the charger and it's ready when you next want to use it. Plenty of time to do… Read more

all the little nooks and crannies that until I got my B&D were always dusty because when I did the normal vacumming I could never be bothered getting the attachments out. It's a little on the heavy side and if you do 10 or 15 minutes of vacuuming your back gets a little sore from bending over. Also, a little on the expensive side but worth paying a bit more and getting something that you actually use because it's user friendly and effective. A bit noisy.
