Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with 18 volts of power, this cordless handheld vacuum works great for cleaning stairs, underneath furniture, and other areas around the home, as well as inside vehicles. The unit's exclusive 10-position pivoting nozzle offers an integrated extension piece for 50-percent more reach in tight areas, while its cyclonic action helps keep the filter clean so suction power lasts longer. Choose from two speeds--high for maximum pickup or low for extended run time. Accessories include an upholstery brush, a small crevice tool, and a wall-mountable charging base. Other highlights include 35 air watts, an 11-5/6-ounce capacity, three-stage filtration for cleaner air exhaust, an easy-to-empty system where hands don't touch the dirt, and an EZ Clean Wheel system, which makes it simple to clean the filter and instantly improve suction power. In addition, the vacuum 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 on greenhouse gas emissions--all of which means a cleaner indoor environment without excess costs or impact on the environment. With its innovative design that folds in half for compact charging and storing, the handheld vacuum cleaner measures 17-4/5 by 6-4/5 by 7-2/7 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product at a great price, February 13, 2009

When our Shark went on the blink for the third time we decided it was time to get serious about a decent handheld vacuum. We own a Dyson full size vacuum so I naturally did my research presuming that the right answer was to get the Dyson cordless as well. However when I compared the reviews (some good, some not so good) to the price it gave me some heartburn so I decided to look around. Glad I did.

I did not have high expectations for this product. By and large I find the Black & Decker brand to be a decent value for the money, but not necessarily great quality. This product changed my opinion. It's very well made, with solid construction and an intriguing design. Those factors are very important to me, but it's a vacuum, so if it doesn't suck none of those factors matter much. Boy, does this thing suck! It's a bit noisy, but when you consider the amount of suction it creates it's little wonder that you can hear it so well. So far, everything I have used it for has been handled with great ease and satisfaction.

The charging station is pretty convenient and intuitive. My only criticism of it is that the charge light never changes color when the unit is fully charged - this would be a nice feature to add and is one of my issues with the Shark. But you can leave it in the base to trickle charge all the time without issues.

The pivoting nose is great because in the folded position the unit takes up so much less room, while in the extended position it's the right length and balances nicely.

Overall, this is a five-star handheld cordless vacuum and is the one I would recommend to anyone based on my positive experiences with it so far. If anything changes to alter my opinion, I will append this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of SUCTION, November 13, 2008

By	Jack Spade "Private Eye" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

We wanted to replace our aged Black and Decker handheld vac with something that would go longer and pickup more dirt. This vacuum is a little loud, but it really works. And you can clean it out fairly easily without having to grab the dirty filter all the time, like with the dustbuster style vacs. I would recommend it. While it says it can be wall mounted, I find the stand it is on works best freestanding. This thing would look weird and stick out too far on the wall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hand Vac Ever, March 30, 2009

By	lynno - See all my reviews

I bought this hand vac after Consumer Reports rated it as one of the best products for the year. I am so glad I did. Best vacuum product we have ever owned, hands down. Picks up anything with ease, and has a long lasting charge. I have three kids and I use this daily to pick up everything on our floor, including large pieces of food. It grabs everything. So easy to get in those crevices as well. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product, and I never write reviews. Trust me.
