Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Combining the convenience of a handheld with the versatility of a full-size vacuum, this ultra-compact, cordless cleaner makes it easy to breeze through household chores--without the need to plug in, change outlets, or lug around a heavy upright. The unit's patented, high-performance motor supplies 40-percent more suction power (when compared to a 12V Dustbuster), and its cyclonic action spins dirt away from the filter to help ensure long-lasting suction power--it even comes with a "filter refresh" knob that flicks debris off the filter as needed to further improve suction power. The vacuum cleaner offers a generous, integrated handle for comfortable transport from room to room, plus a 4-foot flexible hose for extended reach back into corners, up to high shelves, or to other hard-to-clean areas around the home or in the car. Three handy attachments come included: use the long crevice tool to clean between couch cushions or other tight spots; the two-in-one nozzle/brush tool to dust drapes, blinds, and bookshelves or to pick up spilled cereal on the kitchen floor; and the pet-hair cleaning tool to loosen hair and ground-in dirt and debris from stairs, upholstery, and other surfaces. The vacuum also provides a three-stage filtration system for clean air exhaust, a stable base, wrap around hose storage, and an easy-empty 17-ounce dirt canister for quick cleanup. Accessories include a dishwasher-safe filter (model FVF100), a charger, and a storage caddy to keep the attachments neatly contained and easily accessible. Best of all, the vacuum cleaner has earned an Energy Star rating, which means it meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy. Energy Star products can help save up to a third on energy bills, as well as greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, all of which means a cleaner, more welcoming home without excess costs or impact on the environment. The innovative, sleek-looking vacuum cleaner measures approximately 12-1/5 by 6-2/5 by 10 inches and carries a full two-year warranty.

I thought maybe potential purchasers would like to know that the FHV1200 Flex Vac runs for a little over seven minutes continuously before the motor starts to slow down and lose power. (Never run a NiCd powered product completely dead, some of the battery cells will "reverse" and be permanently damaged.) The time to fully recharge after running the vac this long is about 20 hours (figure a full day to keep it simple). The charger is a small wall adapter type.
I think the power is very good for a rechargeable vacuum (a little more than your average "dustbuster"). As an example, it will easily suck up cat litter, small pebbles, and potting soil, but will have trouble sucking up a glass marbles or pennies.
I don't think mine is too loud. It has that high speed "whine" sound combined with the sound of rushing air, but the combination is somewhat muffled. It definitely doesn't sound weak. It almost sounds like a corded vac.
The FHV1200 smaller than you might expect, and the build quality is very good. I'm not normally fond of Black and Decker, but I like this little machine. ...and the blue LED charge light is cool!
Minus one star because it takes a looooong time to recharge...

Amazon Verified Purchase
For the price only buy if you plan on using for 5 minutes. Very dissapointed in product for the price. I manage a retail store. Bought the item to clean dust ect. First problem is the filter started to clog and had to clean in first 2-3min. This was normal cleaning. After cleaning filter 2-3 min. latter the vacuum lost battery power. For quick, and I mean quick cleanup be ready to to have on the charger 20 hours and cleaning power of 5-6 minutes. Not worth the $69.99 price.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I had just purchased The most popular brand of these hand vacs a year ago and it turned out to be rather worthless. It may pick up a crumb but that is about it. This is just what I have wanted for years.
My need is mostly for getting dog hair off the furniture and not have to drag out the big vac. This is fantastic and comes with a specific pet hair tool. I have a pom so there is a hair issue daily. It also has Nozzle/Brush and Crevice tool.
The instructions tell you to charge for 21 hours the first time and that it may take up to 5 times of 21hr charges and complete dispensing of the power for it to reach it's full charge holding time. I have done this 3 times and each time ran it 20 min and it was still not totally done...but I was. LOL. I love the design and it is easy to hold and the tools are on board, but the holder can be removed when in use.
It has a 2 year warranty which is wonderful. It is good looking also and takes up little space. You can grap it quickly and clean up a spill. Very each to empty the canaster and it will not turn on if you don't have it closed correct which is a good safety feature.
The 4 foot flexable hose is great for reaching and cleaning blinds. You just cannot do all these things with the old fashioned buster kind of vacs.
If there were 10 stars this item would get it from me. Just make sure you do the 21hr charge and don't give up on it until you have done it 5 times. I am satisfied at 3 but if I find it not to hold after 5 or go down I'll come back and let you know.

When fully charged it works great. Easy to handle, light and portable. BUT, doesn't hold a charge long. Would guess it lasts about 10-15 min before dying.

I've tested this unit, and the Dyson handheld, and though the Dyson was still more powerful, the Flex Vac came in a very close second. And you just can't beat the price! Read more
