I really like the side entry to empty the vacuum and also the upright storage of the vacuum, this makes it very easy to use. Amazon was also very Prompt in the delivery.
Thank You

This unit has a rubber "sphincter" or "one way door" which keeps the dirt from coming out right as it reaches the filter. If you find that your vacuum is "regurgitating" everything it picks up its because the little door broke off so there is no way for the dirt to be held back. This one did it to me and its worthless once it happens. Calling black & decker might get you a solution (I gotta try to call them), but its still a pain in the butt.

Power-wise it is strong, battery life is not out of the ordinary. Its decent enough for a few spills and some stairs.

The designers tried to get all creative with this one but IMO it is not a very user friendly design. The filter area can be a mess to deal with and like other users said some buttons are very awkwardly positioned. The nozzle tip can be extended for further and more accurate reach in small cleaning areas, but why would I want to touch the dirty tip of the vacuum to pull the tip out? It looks great sitting around, which is what it does now that it spills everything it sucks up.

I would go for a better more versatile device.

I haven't had a chance to rate the Battery Life but the Vacuum suction is like no small vacuum i've ever owned. I like it a lot.

I HAVE USED MANY OF THESE BLACK AND DECKER LITTLE VACUUMS. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST I HAVE EVER USED. GREAT SUCTION AND EASY TO CLEAN.

The power and suction of this vacuum are unmatched by any handheld vacuum cleaner which I have ever owned. And the accessories compliment the vacuum and make any job a breeze to clean up. Sometimes I think this vacuum has more suction power than my electric vacuum. Additionally, the power lasts for a good amount of time...it's actually never run out on me and I've had many big clean-up jobs.
