BLACK+DECKER dustbuster furbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Pet Handheld Vacuum, Home and Car Vacuum (HLVA325JP07)

I watched a few videos first.. I was looking for a powerful hand held dust buster (or fur buster as I call it. I have 3 dogs. one of which is the furminator. a golden retriever.. I wanted an easy one to handle. (rechargeable was not important to me. but this is rechargeable and I like it ..better than a long cord to drag around ... Easy (very easy) to empty the collection basket. It doesnt hold much , but perfect for those quick pick up on the black couch.. Usually I have slipcovers , but if this keeps the hair at bay on the black couch.. my not need a slipcover.. so far I give it a 5 star review.. dont settle with cost or color (although purple happens to be my favorite color ) that was not a factor at all. .Price is reasonable, and just what I needed.. Photos show two of the three dogs we have and the size is next to a 5x7notepad..

I’ve had this vacuum since 2018 and still works great. Great suction, easily cleaned and works for all floors and vehicles. Battery power is very good. A very handy vacuum.I would definitely buy again if this one fails.

Needed this to clean carpet stairs & it is perfect for the job. Great suction and with the various connections it easily getting an into the cracks where dust collects.

I've had several Black & Decker hand vacuums over the years, and I have always been happy with them. With previous models the suction was great, and the vacuum never lost suction no matter how full the dust cup got (within reason). And with other B&D models I never had any trouble with completely emptying the dust cup, and the filter almost never got clogged.But the suction on this model is horrible! It barely picks up anything. Seriously. It's a Pet Vacuum and it can't even pick up stray cat litter around the litter box. It barely picks up crumbs from the kitchen floor! I've never owned or used a hand vacuum with such poor suction. Did they not even test this out on cat litter granules? There's LITERALLY a photo on the box showing it being used to pick up cat litter! I even tried using the various attachments and extending the nozzle to see if that makes a difference, but no matter what I've tried the suction is still awful.Also, the dust cup is nearly impossible to empty completely. When you tip the cup over to empty it, the flap inside (the rubber flap that keeps stuff from falling back down through the nozzle) flips open and blocks the stuff that I'm trying to empty from the dust cup. I tried reaching my fingers in to just pull out the remaining debris, and the flap popped off! I was able to reattach it, but I'm sure it will happen again and I'll risk breaking it every time I have to reattach it.And if you're vacuuming an area with fine dust particles (like any area near a litter box), the filter gets clogged almost immediately and it completely loses suction. At least I think it's the filter clogging, because if you pull out the filter and tap it several times on the counter or the bottom of the sink, a whole bunch of dust falls out every time you tap it. A lot of dust. That's never happened for me with other models. It might be because this model has a flat filter, instead of the usual "cup" shaped filter in other B&D models. Seems like a bad choice to change the filter design.If I were skilled with taking videos, I would upload one showing how this thing actually *drops* stuff that it just picked up! Maybe this one is defective, or maybe it's a horrible design. Either way, I'm returning it and Amazon is paying for the return shipping. I'll just go to the store to buy a hand vacuum so I can try out different brands and make sure all the parts are included (other reviewers have said the wall mount attachment was missing from theirs).I thought I could depend on Black & Decker quality enough to order a hand vacuum online. I was wrong. The one redeeming quality with this model is the motorized brush attachment. It's easy to attach, and it spins as expected. Unfortunately, since the suction is so horrible I can't comment on how well the brush actually picks up pet hair or anything else.

I bought this for my office/cats' room. I have a Ruggable rug in there and the upright vacuum simply doesn't know what to do with a Ruggable. Hardwood suction doesn't pick up any cat hair or litter, carpet suction grabs the rug and doesn't let go, even without the beater bar. So I needed something to vacuum the rug as well as take care of any little messes around the house (like, for random example, when my cat knocks a plant off the table, spilling potting soil everywhere...) This does a great job with its rubber brushes picking up cat hair and litter from the rug. The crevice tool is super useful for getting the couch cushions. The battery doesn't last super long, but I'd say it's good for 2-3 quick vacuums. So far it hasn't been that big an issue, but if you are looking for something you can set on a charging pad and never think about the battery, this maybe isn't for you.I do love that it attaches to the wall. Really handy storage solution. However, I wish it had storage for the attachments, which I'm SURE will get lost soon. Having the wall attachment be a charger would also be great, if anyone has the ear of someone at Black + Decker. Throw that in the suggestion box for me!

it is extremely loud, very annoying. the brush attachment is very wimpy, which really does nothing. the pet attachment is awkward, but works ok on stairs. I do however like the retractable crevice tool .

I did a lot of research on small vacs. This one I chose after all that research. I have dogs that like to hang out in my music studio which is a low-pile carpet (not sure how it would do with medium to high pile). Dog fur gets everywhere in the area where my guitar effects pedals are on the floor. I needed something small and compact for this area. This vac works pretty damn good. I was pleasantly surprised as how well it performed because we are talking dog fur-the hardest thing for any vac to suck up. Highly recommend.
