I Tested the BLACK + DECKER 12V MAX Handheld Vacuum

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about BLACK+DECKER BHHV320B

  • Strong and reliable suction power with a 2-stage adjustable control
  • Lightweight, compact, and highly maneuverable design for quick daily cleanups
  • Integrated extendable crevice nozzle makes it easy to reach tight spaces and corners
  • Large and transparent 700 ml dust container that is simple to empty without touching dirt
  • Clear 3-stage LED battery indicator shows remaining runtime and charge status

What we don't like about BLACK+DECKER BHHV320B

  • Relatively loud noise level, especially when running on the high power setting
  • Limited runtime of 10 to 20 minutes before requiring a recharge
  • Long charging time of approximately 5 hours to achieve a full battery
  • Lack of additional separate accessory attachments included in the package

Verdict

The BLACK+DECKER BHHV320B is a lightweight, cordless handheld Dustbuster vacuum featuring a 12V 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery that provides up to 25 Air Watts of cyclonic suction power. Key specifications include a large 700ml translucent, bagless dust bowl capacity, an integrated pull-out extension crevice tool for hard-to-reach places, a dual-filtration system, and a built-in battery charge indicator. Main pros include its highly portable, cord-free design, a simplified one-touch hygienic container emptying mechanism, and efficient suction for daily dry spills. However, notable cons include a relatively short runtime of 10 to 20 minutes per charge paired with a lengthy 5-hour battery recharging time.
