Verdict

The BLACK+DECKER BHHV315B-QW is a cordless and bagless handheld vacuum cleaner powered by a 12V 1.5Ah lithium-ion battery that delivers up to 20 air watts of suction power using Cyclonic Action technology. Main characteristics include its 1.1 kg lightweight design, an integrated extendable crevice tool, two speed settings, a double filtration system, a 700 ml semi-transparent dirt bowl, and a wall-mountable charging station featuring an LED battery indicator. Its primary pros are its excellent portability, a large-capacity dishwasher-safe dust container that empties hygienically with a single click, and its automated trickle charging that protects the battery. On the downside, the vacuum suffers from a relatively short runtime of only 10 to 16 minutes depending on the power setting, a prolonged 4-to-5-hour battery recharge time, and a high operating noise level that reaches up to 80 decibels.
