Black+Decker Dustbuster HLVC315B10 Vacuum Cleaner

Verdict

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.

Pros

  • Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  • Pet-Ready Features ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
    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.

Cons

  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 1.5
    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.
