BLACK+DECKER's Cordless Hand Vac 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot Vac Model #: BDH2000PL-Enter to win!

I was ecstatic when I was contacted by the folks at  BLACK+DECKER asking if I would be interested in reviewing their 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot Vac, Model #: BDH2000PL.  My previous hand vac from another manufacturer had coincidentally, recently bit the dust, (pun intended!) and I was in dire need of a new one! It was my lucky day indeed!

I was also thrilled that the product I received was from BLACK+DECKER. This is a company that I grew up with! To me the BLACK+DECKER name is synonymous with being trustworthy, having high quality products  and they are a leader in their field.



From their website: Since 1910, BLACK+DECKER has been setting the standard for innovation and design of power tools, outdoor yard care equipment, and home products. The inventor of the first portable electric drill with pistol grip and trigger switch, BLACK+DECKER has evolved from a small machine shop in Baltimore, Maryland to a global manufacturing powerhouse with a broad line of quality products used in and around the home. When home owners have work to get done, they trust that BLACK+DECKER's products will do the job efficiently and reliably.



Black+Decker Cordless Hand Vac 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot Vac Model #: BDH2000PL

When my cordless hand vac arrived I was instantly pleased with the ease of set up. Why? There was virtually NO set-up other than charging the Vac in the charger base that comes with the product.

The 20V MAX Lithium Pivot Vac is serious power in a small package that’s great for the car, house, apartment, or anywhere in between. With a nozzle that pivots to any angle, this is a great option for any hard-to-reach areas.

 BLACK+DECKER's all-purpose 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot Vac has strong and consistent suction provided by the 20V MAX* Lithium Ion battery. The Pivot is not only powerful, but it's also compact and can be stored within easy reach to any mess. A distinctive pivoting nose feature enables easy cleaning for those hard to reach areas, such as under cupboards, above tall shelves, and in between couch cushions.

How Did It Work For Me?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!
I attempted to shoot a video of how great it picked up tracked litter in the bathroom that I share with Cody (where his litter box is located), but it came out too dark to give you an accurate visual.

I love that the Pivot Vac is sturdy, light weight, all of the accessories are within reach because they are built-in to the unit.

It is super easy to use, after an initial charging period of no more than 24 hrs you are ready to go! Once it is charged, you can just re-charge it by placing the unit on the handy charging base that is included (ensuing charges won't take as long if you charge it periodically).

It is powerful and does what it promises to do!

The Cordless Hand Vac 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot Vac is also perfect for picking up a bevy of items that land on my kitchen floor such as spilled, dry coffee, kibble, crumbs, you name it, it often accidentally lands on the floor!

It is ideal for cleaning my couch and upholstered chairs as well!

I couldn't be happier!

Since my photos and video were much too dark to post, please view the video that I am sharing with you directly from BLACK+DECKER. (My apologies that the video shows a dog and not a cat!! Trust me, it works great picking up cat fur too!)


 Accessories include:
Onboard crevice tool
Onboard brush
Charging base with tool storage

Cleaning and Emptying The Filter Is A Breeze!

  • open bowl and empty canister
  • push release button on nozzle, rotate down, slide nozzle off
  • Remove pleated filter and tap to remove dirt
  • Wash filter, pre-filter and bowl for deep clean

BLACK+DECKER recommends "for best performance, clean often"

  6. What a perfect sounding unit. My upright is bulky and even though I keep it clean the suction isn't very good. This would be perfect because two of my boys like to rooster tail the litter when they go. Enjoy it and a huge thanks for the giveaway chance! :)
