Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-20 Summary: great portable vac ... great vac for type & price. Two reasons for buying- already had Dewalt cordless tools/ batteries & needed a portable vac to suck up asian beetles(not ladybugs-these bite & smell) in house. Have 4 rooms that have quite a few beetles in them & pulling & tripping over long cords was tiring. Does good job for that. Agree with other reviewer that would be nice if battery could charge in vac when plugged in. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-04 Summary: Plenty of power and run time !! ... I don't know how anyone could not love this thing ? I have owned so many shop/wet-dry type vacs and this has as much suction as ANY 1.25" hose unit, is quieter than any corded one I've used, plus it weighs nothing, and is cordless ! Just for cleaning stairs alone it's worth it ! There's never an outlet on stairs. I use it with my 18 volt batteries and they last so long I can't ever even see plugging it in. So I am baffled that anyone didn't love it. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-04 Summary: Does a good job of ironing ... I have been using this iron for over 4 months now and it does a good job of ironing. It is slightly heavier than the earlier B&D iron that I had. It heats up quickly and is smooth to operate. I think two design flaws in this model are the cover of water well which can break easily if not carefully handled and the front of the iron should have been more slanted to ease pouring of water in to the iron. The retractable cord is a very convenient feature and gives a neat look to the iron, although that makes it relatively ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-12 Summary: B&D self reeling steam iron ... I like the fact that the dial is on the top of the iron and not under the handle. Also great, is the rewinding feature and no tangling or dangling wire. I've used the iron several times, and find that unless I have it turned on to a high number for steam ironing, it irons, but doesn't steam. When it does, it does an excellent job. The dry iron is very good. I haven't tried the self-clean feature; I will do so after a month or so. I've always used GE/Black and Decker irons and have been satisfied with them. My last ...more
