BLACK+DECKER dustbuster furbuster AdvancedClean+ Cordless Pet Handheld Vacuum, Home, Pet and Car Vacuum (HHVK515JP07)

MY NEW BF.. Finally A Product That Works As Advertised!
Wow, I have to admit how pleasantly surprised I was to receive a purchased product that works as advertised! I just received it today with very quick shipping (so Kudos to Amazon for improved shipping), and briefly looked over directions to get it on the charger and fully charged (as directions recommend) so that I could test my new B&D furbuster hand vac asap. I have several products recently purchased in prior Amazon orders that I’ll be driving to UPS tomorrow to return and I wanted to verify if this product was going to be added to that list of returns and do so all in one trip. I must say that this honestly exceeded my expectations and let me be clear, I typically review a product for 1 of 2 reasons: 1. because it’s a great product that works, looks, does as advertised that deserves recognition, and because I feel that other consumers should be able to rely on trustworthy feedback from legit Amazon members that actually purchased the products they’re reviewing. 2. Because the product is horrible and fails to do as advertised, or customer service for that product is very poor or altogether absent (meaning you don’t get a response from their so called customer service when you have questions or need product assistance). I admit that I won’t use valuable time to review those purchases/products that are what I call the “In Between Great & Horrible Products”, meaning not great, but not horrible. That being said, in the short period I’ve had this hand vac I am extremely pleased. YOU GO BLACK & DECKER, FOR A JOB MORE THAN WELL DONE!!! First, I love the design of the hand vac over all, it stands very firmly on the end opposite of the handle while charging, or you could lay it down if need be, because there is no bulky cradle used for charging as many other hand vacs have. It’s very light to hold and maneuver and feels natural to use (even for someone that has physical limitations or back, hip, shoulder problems such as myself with fibromyalgia, bursitis, si problems, advanced arthritis, and carpal tunnel), as well as how easy it is to use the 2 accessories. The built in extended crevice tool which you simply slide/pull out to use as needed, and the ingenious designed brush attachment with rubber type bristles great for picking up hair and fur, and it is a motorized brush that actually works as intended, it DOESN’T require any type of upper body or hand strength to attach the brush either, as it very easily clicks into place when attaching it and can be removed just as easily. After the charging process completes for the initial use (which btw was very simple to do by plugging the small charging adapter into an electrical outlet after plugging the other end of the adapter cable into the hand vac) the battery light located by the power button on the hand vac indicates when it’s fully charged. Simply remove the charging adapter plug from the hand vac and you’re all set, ready to clean everything & anything your heart desires. In the short time I had the product today after it was fully charged, I was actually looking for things to clean in addition to the cleaning tasks I purchased this hand vac for (cleaning pet/cat hair off furniture, steps, cushions, etc and for cleaning up kitty litter that unfortunately gets tracked throughout my entire home in addition to the surrounding areas of my litter robots and spare litter pan, no matter what type, brand, priced, etc of litter I purchase (as I’ve tried them ALL).. This hand vac allowed me to clean numerous areas with litter and pet hair both, and did so very quickly and easily without breaking my back in the process! And the battery still had plenty of charge remaining if I had more to clean. I’m also very grateful that this hand vac is no where near as loud as all of my previous hand vacs were (at least the ones that worked well anyway). Keep in mind this is my initial review after 1 day of using this product so I’ll be sure to update my review in a few months from now to confirm if its still working as well as it did today, if the battery works and lasts as advertised, or if I discover any additional pros and cons. In this review I gave battery life only 4 stars just for the time being,. However, once I’ve had time to use the hand vac long enough to drain the battery entirely, I’ll update whether it deserves 5 stars or less than my initial 4 stars for the battery. Overall, I give this product 5⭐ and I would highly recommend it to anyone that has pets, or anyone with physical limitations that has little body strength and needs a dependable user friendly hand vac!

Fantastic furbuster!
I rarely put in a review but this time I think I should. I have a Dyson pet vaccume and it works great for the carpet but the long hose is a major struggle when I try to use it on my furniture, stairs and car so I researched handheld vaccumes and the Black and Decker Dustbuster Furbuster came in 2nd. Well I have to say, rightfully so. I have two siamese mix cats and a pitsky. My kitties shed but not super bad but my pitsky sheds so much and this vaccume worked great. I absolutely love it. The only down which cost Black and Decker one star is the battery. Even on low it doesn’t last long, maybe 30 minutes but it does such an amazing job at getting pet hair off of my fabric furniture I can deal with the battery.

Designed by someone who has given up on their job, or quite possibly, life itself
I’m a single guy who lives alone, so I really don’t make much of a mess other than some crumbs and dirt that I track inside. The two miniature panthers I live with; however, are disgusting heathens who leave hair, more hair, and even more hair all over the place. I was looking for something that would allow me to take care of quick messes instead of breaking out the evil vacuum that gives the panthers night terrors: my pizza crumbs, or perhaps a glob of hair that one certain panther likes to leave behind every so often.So I thought I did some good research and found the right dust buster for me. I read tons of reviews, both good and bad, checked out the specs, and even looked at what spare parts are available since it could be a sign of what breaks most often. Boom. Sold. It arrived today, and my initial impression was: “meh”. After a few hours to get it charged up, I took it for a test spin on hardwood floors, a countertop, some carpet, and a couch cushion. The second most annoying thing about this dust buster (I’ll get the most annoying in moment) is that you have to cycle through both the low and high speeds to turn it off, and there seems to be a small delay in transitioning between the speeds and turning off. In other words, you can’t just press the power button twice very quickly. You have to press it once, let it cycle into what sounds like a launch of some sort of space rocket, and then press again a second or two later to get it to turn off. This drove me nuts. The suction was OK on the hard surfaces, but it sucked – or rather didn’t suck so well on carpeting and the fabric cushion.The most annoying thing about this is that the pre-filter and filter (they’re connected) fall out when you go to empty the thing. The instructions and common sense state to hold it over a trash bin, press the release button on the canister, and lightly shake to get the debris out. This happens before the light shaking even begins. After a bit of detective work, I was able to determine that this is caused by the pre-filter. It’s simply too heavy to allow the filter to remain attached. Aside from being the thing that will make you go fishing through whatever you just sucked up to retrieve it, the pre-filter does a great job of caking and compacting dust that will surely burn up the motor sooner rather than later.Third most annoying thing (only going to list three, but I could go on) is that there is no place to mount it, the charger is awkwardly designed – don’t break or lose it (and is white?), and it just doesn’t fit anywhere. It’s not some sort of showpiece I want out on display for all to see, but who has electrical outlets in their hallway closet to charge something like this? You’ll be stuck with this sitting out in a room, which isn’t so bad when it’s brand new out of the box, but disgusting after one use.I know some people seem to love this thing, but some people also take a lot of medication. Maybe there is a correlation there, maybe there isn’t. My advice is to stay away from it. Far away.

This product Is not fit for purpose given it is positioned as a pet-vacuum. I bought it as I wanted something to suck up my dog’s fur on the carpet and on timber surfaces. It does neither with any effectiveness!I have previously owned B&D hand vacuums and they have worked well but this is probably the worst vacuum I have ever had the misfortune of buying. It doesn’t even really work in the car.Don’t waste your money – it is a not a pet vacuum, not even a dust buster. Rather, buy the Dyson option which costs a little more but is infinitely superior in vacuuming up pet hair

The aggressive powered roller should probably not be used on delicate rugs! Amazing cleaning. I was slightly ashamed at how much dust and fur my carpet had accumulated in 2 weeks. Cats going to get brushed and bathed more often now. Great power. Avoid lower power versions. Noisy.
