Junk - HHVI320JR02 on vacuum cleaner

First of all - I think some of the positive feedback is not related to this model but to "robot", people who received this item "for free", or People who literally use this vacuum cleaner less than 1 minute each time. Exact and detailed specifications for this device cannot be found anywhere, not even on the manufacturer's website - there is no information on the battery capacity, full charging time, or the actual suction power of this device. It's beyond odd, and the only clue offered is the AW 16 rating, which is generally meaningless unless related to battery capacity and runtime. I had to look everywhere to find comparisons and then a mid-range Dyson laptop has an AW of 100 while this computer has an AW of 16. A mid-range Dyson portable laptop under full load runs 20 minutes at 100 AW, this machine runs less than 2 minutes at 16 AW (my own approximation of what I can tell after a 24 hour charge cycle) and that's when you switch it on and off very sparingly during your work. Another clue, the Hoover Air 20V lasts 25 minutes on full load and 50 minutes with extended battery, which is about 20th century. Also, there is no pre-filter in this device and the filter inside is not very well made, thin and more easy to carry Cloth and mixed material filter which means it will fall apart quickly and you will quickly need additional filters when collecting pet hair that tends to get tangled. This B&D is a "upright vacuum cleaner" - a high discharge device (consumes 10.8V) with a low capacity battery (2 cells of unknown capacity) equating to very, very brief use - and - a "drip" - Charger that has an extremely long charging time. It's a piece of junk with no indicator light (or any indication) of whether it's charging or when it's done. I am very upset that I bought it and then returned it and I am equally disappointed that this manufacturer has such low standards for a fairly reliable brand.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some little things
