Review on BLACK DECKER HLVA325J10 Lithium Vacuum by Marquel Floyd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good suction power. Needs to be cleaned often.

I have reasonable expectations for this little vacuum and I am not disappointed. The suction is strong and perfect for picking up pet hair, dust balls, kitty litter and crumbs on the floor when you don't want to lug around a large corded vacuum. If you're expecting him to pull pet hair out of furniture, you'll probably be disappointed, as that job is best done by a vacuum with a rotating brush. Since I've only used this mini vacuum for quick pickups (that's what it's designed for), I find the battery life to be more than adequate. Being small it also has a very small but effective filter that seems to need frequent cleaning to maintain performance and efficiency. The pleated filter can be easily removed, the pre-screen removed and then the pleated filter cleaned or rinsed. I have already ordered a set of 4 replacement filters (Revain for $10) as I feel they need to be replaced from time to time. Overall I am happy with this little vacuum cleaner.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Unfashionable
