Verdict

The BLACK+DECKER NVC115W is a lightweight 3.6V cordless handheld dustbuster vacuum weighing just 543 grams and featuring a 385ml washable dustbowl. Powered by a 1.5Ah lithium-ion battery delivering 5.4W to 8 AW of suction power, its main advantages include an ergonomic design, a wide nozzle mouth for larger debris, and a hygienic, easily removable filter system. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively short runtime of approximately 11.5 minutes and a very lengthy battery recharge cycle requiring up to 10 hours.
