Review on ๐Ÿงน Efficient Cleaning on-the-go: BLACK DECKER Dusbuster Handheld HLVB315JCZ01 by Donald Vargas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Be very careful with the filter

I use this vacuum to clean the carpet around a couple of litter boxes rather than lugging around a large car. It pulls in garbage without throwing it backwards (like a big machine does), it has a slightly more moderate hum than other handheld vacuums I've used, but here's the problem. This vacuum cleaner is sold with a "washable" filter, which may well be; but I always want a backup or two. Much luck! Revain has combined this with a filter model NOT SUITABLE for this machine. I have provided a photo of the filter. It has a curved dome flanked by two lateral winged ribs. The numbers stamped on the filter do not relate to anything I can find online. I could not find a filter that fits Black and Decker HLVB315JA26 (including Black and Decker, Walmart and Black and Decker parts suppliers). So I'm confused. This will be a temporary vacuum in my house until it justifies its price and then I'll look elsewhere for something else where I can be sure replacement filters are available. In the meantime, I will be very careful when washing the filter because once it breaks or deteriorates, the vacuum cleaner will become unusable.

Pros
  • Bagless clear dirt bin is easy to see and empty
Cons
  • Slightly torn
