The Black+Decker Dustbuster HLVC315B10 is quiet and decent on edges and pet hair, but its strong exhaust causes terrible bare-floor cleaning, so it works best as a limited spot cleaner rather than a primary handheld.
Handles pet hair respectably on small areas, making it useful for quick fur cleanups on floors and upholstery even though its bare-floor performance is weak overall.
Bare-floor cleaning is weak, with strong exhaust that tends to blow debris away rather than collecting it, leading to poor test scores on hard surfaces.
