I bought a BLACK+DECKER HHVI325JR22 to replace an earlier version (without the lithium-ion battery) of the same vacuum cleaner substitute. It sucks up crumbs, hair etc pretty well but I wish it had a little more suction power. cupboards, under the stove, etc.), but if there are small crumbs or a lot of "small" pieces, then it's not as effective. You have to be careful as the "blower" will cause even more chaos. To be honest, if that's not something I'm sure this vacuum can handle, I'll probably pull out a full-size vacuum because it either doesn't suck hard enough or just doesn't last very long (and we keep plugged in). / fully charged all the time). Maybe I have too high expectations of a hand vacuum cleaner. But on the plus side I'd say it has a large storage bin, the filter and bucket can be easily removed to dump the rubbish, and it's nice that it has a retractable nozzle for those hard-to-reach spots.
