    A Real RIPOFF
             
    For Black and Decker I thought I could trust the product, NEVER AGAIN! Ten minutes of life to the charge. I charged it over 21 hrs., then I need to charge it another 21 hrs. to get another 10 minutes of use. Anyone who reads this, is crazy if they buy the product. You have been warned. I only wish I had checked reviews before I purchased.
    Pros:

    On ten minutes use, who can tell??" This product DOES NOT WORK, period,.

    Cons:

    Need I say more, see review!

    The battery life is terrible. It only last for 5 minutes. Very disappointing. Why have a cordless vac when you have to recharge it for 24 hours after using it for 5 minutes. I want my money back.
    Pros:

    It does work when there is a charge.

    Cons:

    No power.

    So disappointing, NO Battery life
             
    what is the point of having a cordless vacuum when the power doesn't last longer than 10 minutes? i was excited about the ease of use, and the pet hair removal works really well–for all of 5 minutes, and after that, there is no suction left, and i have to charge it for 24 hours before i get another 10 minutes use. this is a JOKE. who the hell let such a useless product be put into production!?
    Pros:

    pet hair removal

    Cons:

    everything else-no battery life

    I'm so disappointed, I thought B and D was a brand you could trust.
             
    The power on this vacuum lasts about 10 minutes-max! That means if you want to clean your car you have to do it over a period of about 4-5 days, vacuum for 10 minutes, recharge for 24 hours, vacuum for 10 minutes, recharge for 24 hours...I cannot believe that B and D thought this was a product worth putting thier name on. It says to me that B and D does not respect their customers. I won't buy B and D again and I'm returning the vac tomorrow!
    Pros:

    The attachments were great, that's why I bought it.

    Cons:

    It has NO POWER, which renders the attachments useless!

    Battery Life Is Terrible
             
    After purchase I charged unit for about 30 hours. First time I used it I noticed after about 3 minutes the power was dropping. I plugged back in to charger. A week later I took off of charger. The unit has great power for about 5-10 seconds. That's it! I made 2 mistakes, first one I bought this item and second I threw away packaging and receipt before I realized I had bought junk. I made a big $60 mistake!
    Pros:

    NONE!

    Cons:

    Battery life of 5 seconds!

    This vac is terrible and it has a stinky odor.
             
    This vac is the worst rechargible vac ever to buy. If you want something that last only 5 mins while vacing, this is the one for you. I wish I would have read the reviews because I would have left it at Walmart. $60.00 for the worst vac of my life. Please don't waste your money on this sucky product. Black and Decker what were you thinking when you came out with this lame product. Really! I think it was because they saw a sucker coming to buy it. Never again will I purchase another Black and Decker product. Don't worry folks, If ya wanna use it for 5 mins more go and charge it up for another 21 hours then you can finish the back of the car.....Booooooo! on this. I give this product no stars. Booooo!
    Pros:

    Nothing.......

    Cons:

    Everything. No stars for you.......Darn! I had to give it one star. Well I take the star back and give it a Zero.........The machine stinks to...

    Flex Mini-Vac - Excellent Product
             
    I own two of the flex mini-vacs and one of the car versions (which is very similar but plugs into a 12V power port). I've been using this vacuum for over a year and I'm very pleased with its cleaning power and usefulness of the accessories. I use the pet hair attachment often and the optional powered floor brush works great. The filters are washable and can be reused for a long time. The suctioning power of this vac allows for deep cleaning of rugs and carpets. For best battery life, I recommend full discharge/recharge cycles. It typically takes about 10 minutes of use before the battery starts to run down. I will then do a full recharge and repeat the process. This type of vacuum wasn't designed for extensive use so 10 minutes seems about right. Remember to frequently empty the vacuum when it gets full of dirt and keep the filter clean for best results
    Pros:

    Excellent suction and great accessories. Well designed and ideal for small cleanup tasks. Best portable vac I've ever owned.

    Cons:

    Not really a con but I recommend you read the owners manual carefully regarding the charging. Five to ten minutes of use for this kind of battery-operated device is not unusual as it wasn't intended for cleaning large areas of floor or furniture.

    I love this little vac!!! Best Christmas gift from my hubby.
             
    Perfect for those small jobs. I have owned alot of hand vacs and this by far is the best I have ever owned. Lots of power! No problem with charging. I didn't want it for heavy duty work, just light work for bathrooms and kitchens.
    Pros:

    The power, the long hose and easy cleaning.

    Cons:

    Unable to find this product in stores.
