Black And Decker PV 1205 Cyclonic Dustbuster Pivot

Advantages: Reliable, Trustworthy and High performance
Disadvantages: Doesn't vacum plaster dust well

...I was delighted when my husband bought the Black and Decker PV1205B Dust buster for my birthday. Whilst the price might seem high anything with lower voltage is a waste of time and money. Lower voltage dust busters just don't work you need something with a bit of power, one that performs well and does the job you need it to do. The Black and Decker PV1205B Dust buster is powerful, practical and efficient basically you cannot go far wrong in purchasing this and I would recommend it to anyone. My dust buster has always been reliable and it has never let me down yet. It makes the perfect gift for any occasion and will last for years. I have a 3 year old child and I cannot tell you enough how helpful this Dust buster has been with my child. You know children, they make a mess don't they? Then you have to clean it up, sometimes it feels...

Review of Black & Decker PV 1205 B Cyclonic Dustbuster Pivot

Black & Decker Pivot Vac - an excellent machine

Advantages: Easy to use, empty and maintain - does what it says, and does it well.
Disadvantages: I've not found any yet

...Black & Decker 1205B 12V Pivot Vac. £59.77 from Argos A small cordless vacuum cleaner. It lives in its charger/base, which can be screwed to the wall, but is small enough just to sit on the worktop (unlike other cordless vacs, it stands on its end, so takes up very little space). The base needs to be near a 13A socket, but it doesn't need to be plugged in all the time, as a full charge gives plenty of suck-time (I have not timed it). The instructions (as is Black & Decker norm) are detailed, easy to understand, and helpful. The rotating nozzle may seem like a gimmick, but it makes the device very good at vacuuming on high surfaces (e.g. cupboard tops) and low inaccesable spots. There are two speeds, but usually the lower one is fine. The spout is telescopic, and there is a little brush that can be clipped into the end...

Review of Black & Decker PAV 1205 Pivot AUTO

Black and Decker: A sting in the tail

Advantages: cuts just about anything with minimum effort on your part
Disadvantages: poor design means the blade becomes loose

...Being a gadget lover I bought my black and decker scorpion about 5 years ago. At the time it was the only electic saw that I could find and I had a big DIY job to do at home. The saw itself comes with three blades; one for wood, one for metal pipes and plastics and a third somewhat flexible blade for use as a jigsaw. So this is really three saws in one. The blades can be changed by simply pressing a safety catch on the side, removing the old one and sloting in the new one. The metal and wood blades fit in one direction whilst the jigsaw blade fits in at a 90 degree angle for obvious reasons. To start the saw you need to press two buttons rather like you do with lawnmowers. Its a safety precaution to ensure it isn't set off accidently. Once the saw has started you can release the safety button and rely on the main button to...

Black and Decker Dry and Sometimes Wet Vac

Advantages: Easy to use, good suction, useful attachments
Disadvantages: No charging light, doesn't work on wet spills on absorbent surfaces

...As a teenager, I have an affinity for getting rooms mucky, mostly from snack crumbs, so, about 1 ½ years ago, I decided that enough was enough, and bought a little dustbuster was what I needed to keep my room looking presentable between my weekly clean with a big vacuum. My first dust buster was a Dirt Devil, well priced (around £20) but poorly made, and, after a year, a key part of the dust chamber broke and the motor died, after groaning for a long time beforehand. So, I decided to try a slightly higher priced dust buster this time, the Black and Decker 4.7V cordless Wet and Dry Dustbuster, bought from Argos for around £25-30. I have had it for about 6 months now, and have encountered no problems. -Design- The Dustbuster is a reasonable size and average weight for a mini vacuum, approximately 40cms long. The vacuum is white...

Review of Black & Decker WV 4850

Dustbustingly clean the Black and Decker WV4815

Advantages: Powerful, cleans water spills
Disadvantages: None yet

...The Black and Decker Dustbuster 4.8v cleaner is fantastic! It cleans everything! I'll run through a tried list: Corn Flakes, Dust, Tea, Wine, Sawdust Flies and spiders (!), Crumbs. DESIGN It can be attached to a wall next to a plug to be recharged before use. The dust is collected in a clear blue case which can be emptied and washed clean. Also, there are some attachments which can be put on the front of the vacuum to increase the power through making the gap in the front less. These attachments click into the base of the vacuum, making it easy to keep organised. CLEAN Cleaning the machine is very easy as the filters and the containers can be cleaned under the tap. This means that there aren't any expensive add-ons which need to be bought. GUARANTEE The guarantee (not that it's needed, as the workmanship is good) lasts...

Review of Black & Decker Turbo Dustbuster

Cordless Dustbuster

Advantages: Cordless, Easy to operate
Disadvantages: Quite heavy, No adapter for continuous cleaning

...Black & Decker DV 1205 Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner With my conventional cord vacuum cleaner, my toddler used to stumble over the cord. He just loves to run around the house like crazy especially when I'm cleaning. He was fond of annoying me by pulling the plug from the socket as I cleaned at the center of the living room. When my sister's vacuum cleaner died, I sold my cleaner to her for less than half the price and I decided to buy a cordless vacuum cleaner. I searched for a good cleaner in the internet and I ended up purchasing a Black & Decker DV1205 cylinder Vacuum Cleaner at £73. CORDLESS DEVICE Black & Decker DV1205 Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner is cordless for convenient cleaning. I can bring this dustbuster anywhere in the house without thinking about the hazard that the cord might cause to my toddler like i always did...

Black and Decker Hammer Drill

Advantages: Value for Money
Disadvantages: Does not come with drill bits or case

...This hammer drill is great as it good quality and easy to use (a must for me). It has all the standard features you would expect from hammer dills. To prove how good quality Black and Decker are I still have my dads old drill which must be over 10 Years old and its still in working order. I reason I got a new one was that the old one was a bit basic and did not have all the gadgets that the new versions have on them. It was also really good Value for money. I would buy it again...

Review of Black & Decker DR402K - Hammer Impact Drill

A Handy Little Sucker That Blows Its Rivals Away

Advantages: Powerful, versatile, convenient and effective.
Disadvantages: A little noisy, but that's being really picky.

...INTRODUCTION We own an industrial strength Kirby vacuum cleaner and needed something less bulky to handle the occasional dry spill, and hoovering the stairs. Having previously invested in a string of cordless vacuum cleaners which always seemed to fail to meet expectations, we decided to try a corded model when our latest disappointment - a cordless Dustbuster - started losing its charge too quickly. After a quick look around, I settled on Black & Decker VH780 Dustbuster Mini-vac (?VH780?), which seemed a good combination of power, price and accessories. Unlike it?s cordless cousins, it has proved to be (quite literally) a roaring success. BASIC DETAILS The VH780 is a corded 780 watt bag-less hand-held vacuum cleaner intended for light household, garage and patio use. It comes in a fetching sleek and curvy...

Do You Need A Hand Held Sucker??

Advantages: Great Handy Tool
Disadvantages: Charge Time and Life

...We all own a vacuum cleaner and I have a Dyson but they are no good for reaching in those hard to reach places or doing the car unless you park your car right near the house, I also have the added need for a quick and easy way to clean up spills and crumbs from the babies when they are having their dinner. I am constantly having to either get the dustpan and brush out or the hoover so I decided to get a hand held vacuum cleaner. I looked online and after considering many different models the Black and Decker WV4850 seemed to be great value for money as at £19.99 it not only sucked up crumbs but had an attachment for sucking up spillages and an easy to empty dust/moisture container. I had used many different types of hand held and never really got on with them or liked the idea but at £19.99 I could not go wrong and I am so glad I ordered...
