What to know about BLACK+DECKER CHV1410L

A classic budget 16V Dustbuster with a rotating slim nozzle, slide-out crevice tool, flip-up brush and 605 ml translucent bowl. It is RTINGS' best cordless car vacuum for balancing cost and performance, a Consumer Reports best handheld and Bob Vila's best nozzle pick. Runtime is short (~9-11 min).
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Consumer Reports found it picked up nearly all debris in its carpet and bare-floor tests. RTINGS names it its best cordless car vacuum for balancing cost and performance.

The charging base keeps it ready on a shelf, and the rotating nozzle helps with edges.

What to know

Skip it if you have pets or a big car. Runtime is the shortest here, and RTINGS found it weak on pet hair.
