Factory-Reconditioned Black & Decker FHV1200R 12V Cordless Mini Canister Vacuum with Flexible Hose



Great operation and features
This is the best, most feature packed cordless hand vac I have ever owned.
Positives: Powerful suction. Large debris chamber with ingenious flip open door for quick, easy clean out. Washable parts for occasional thorough clean out. Unique and useful self storing extension tube system. The extension tube with crevice tool allows good reach into narrow, hard to reach areas. Clever built-in, flip up brush tip. Long reach allows discharge air to be directed away so as not to disturb debris in cleaning area. Long battery duration between charges. Sturdy construction. Good value. Low cost for benefits and features.
Negatives: Comparatively large footprint. Must be stored on shelf or floor. Designed to be used with two hands; one to hold the vacuum, the other to direct the tube tip.
To me, the negatives are minor compared to the benefits. I have used this vacuum for two years for touch up cleaning in the dining room, tile baths, tile entry way, and kitchen (the small brush...

Great Little Vac (as of 5 weeks ownership)
Sorry about the guy who bought the lemon. I bought one of the refurb units and the thing has unbelievable suction. I mean, if this thing had a propeller, it could fly for about 2 miles at 200 feet up before pooping out. Then I'd like to see the look of the guy whose lawn it lands on! Who cares if it's 'only 5 minutes'? I can totally vac my car in that time. The designer(s) of this unit made a fantastic device. Every aspect from suction to emptying the dirt has been maximized for efficiency. Plus, it LOOKS like it was made for NASA. I only wish they made a long-tube attachment, so I could clean my entire dwelling with it without stooping. I'm not stoopid, ya know. Maybe I'll attempt to re-purpose some kind of piping to make it work. . .

Happy with this vacuum
We like this Black and Decker so much we bought this as a replacement after my the door got broken off of our original.
