Black+Decker Dustbuster BLACK
Score: 72/100
Dirt Devil Grab and Go+ 8V Vacuum
Score: 64/100Rankings
The Black+Decker HHVK515JP07 is a cordless handheld vacuum that excels with its 35 AW PowerBoost suction and an XL crevice tool for tight spaces. Its runtime is limited and suction drops without the pet brush, making it less versatile for general cleaning. Best suited for pet owners needing quick upholstery and car clean-ups.
The Dirt Devil Grab & Go+ 8V is an ultra-compact cordless vacuum featuring a lightweight 1.1 lb body and built-in charging stand for rapid, light-duty dry clean-ups. Its very short 10-minute runtime and tiny 0.1 L cup limit its usefulness for larger messes. Suited for users who value extreme portability and convenience over sustained cleaning power.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the HHVK515JP07 for its pet-focused performance, noting a four-fold suction boost and substantially longer runtime compared with earlier Black+Decker handhelds. The motorized pet brush and XL crevice tool are highlighted as key strengths for upholstery and tight-space cleaning, while the cordless convenience and easy-empty dustbin receive positive remarks. Minor criticisms focus on its heavier packaged weight and reduced suction without the pet attachment.
Everyday users largely praise the vacuum's ability to tackle pet hair quickly and value the cordless, one-touch empty design. Recurring complaints center on weak suction when the pet brush is not used, the short PowerBoost runtime, and a perception that the unit underperforms for general household debris.
“just a poor vacuum”
