Summary
A 20V Max* cordless handheld vacuum for household and car cleanup, with a built-in crevice tool, flip-up brush and washable filter. It appears to be discontinued and no independent outlet has tested it, so check that replacement filters and service support are still available before you buy.
Strengths
- Built-in extendable crevice tool and flip-up brush handle tight spots without separate attachments.
- The washable cloth and plastic pre-filter rinse in warm soapy water and are reusable.
- A charging base is supplied, and the unit can remain on charge indefinitely without damage.
- A two-year limited home-use warranty covers defects in material or workmanship.
- The battery is recyclable through the RBRC program, with documented end-of-life removal.
Weaknesses
- No independent outlet has tested this model; Wirecutter’s 2026 guide and CNET’s 2026 car vacuum test both exclude it.
- It appears to be discontinued or superseded in Black+Decker’s current 20V Max lineup.
- Runtime, charge time, dustbin capacity, weight and length are uncorroborated product metadata.
- The battery is not user-replaceable; removal requires full disassembly and is meant for disposal, not routine maintenance.
- No owner or community reports could be retrieved, so long-term reliability is unknown.

Full research notes and sources
Battery and charging
The manual rates the pack at 20 V maximum initial voltage and 18 V nominal. Product metadata claims a 15-minute runtime and a 4-hour charge, but no accessible manufacturer or independent page corroborates either figure. The supplied charging base plugs into a 120 V / 60 Hz outlet; the indicator flashes slowly while charging and lights solid when complete, and the unit can remain on charge indefinitely without damage. Do not charge below 39°F (4°C) or above 104°F (40°C), and charge a discharged battery within a week. The battery is not a user part: removal requires disassembling the housing with a Phillips screwdriver (seven screws) and is intended for disposal or recycling through the RBRC program.
Filters and upkeep
The filter system pairs a plastic pre-filter with an inner cloth filter; both wash in warm soapy water and should dry completely before re-fitting. Black+Decker recommends replacing filters every 6 to 9 months or whenever they are worn or damaged, and the replacement accessory is VF110. The dust bowl can also be washed; if dust falls back out after you switch off, the bowl is full. Maximum dust collection needs a clean filter and an empty bowl, and the main body cleans with mild soap and a damp cloth. Repairs beyond the manual should go to an authorized BLACK+DECKER service center (1-800-544-6986) using identical replacement parts.
Is it worth it?
This model appears to be discontinued or superseded. It is absent from Wirecutter’s 2026 handheld guide and CNET’s 2026 car vacuum test, both of which cover newer Black+Decker 20V Max* models. There is no independent performance data, no current pricing, and no owner reports to confirm long-term reliability. For context, CNET’s 2026 test of the sibling BDH2000PL Pivot found it “barely matched half of its rated battery life” at 10 minutes 24 seconds, a signal about the older 20V Max* line rather than this model. If you find one at a low used price, the two-year warranty and washable filter system are reasonable, but current models such as the BDH2020FL Flex and HHVK515JP07 AdvancedClean+ have independent testing and confirmed warranties and are the better-documented choices.
