Dirt Devil Scorpion Plus QuickFlip Vacuum
Score: 70/100
Black+Decker Dustbuster BLACK
Score: 72/100Rankings
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 Scorpion Plus QuickFlip is a corded handheld vacuum delivering strong 7-amp suction and a long 16-foot power cord, making it effective for spot-cleaning tight spaces. Its main drawbacks are the noisy operation and reliance on a cord, which limits true portability. Best suited for users who prioritize suction power and reach over cordless convenience.

Retailer and professional listings stress the vacuum's powerful 7-amp motor, long 16-foot cord and lightweight construction, positioning it as a versatile, bagless handheld that excels at spot-cleaning tight spaces, car interiors and workshop debris, while highlighting its convenience features such as the Quick Flip tool and easy-empty dust cup.
Everyday users consistently praise the strong suction, long cord reach and lightweight portability, especially for car and upholstery cleaning, but they commonly criticize the high noise level, the limitation of being corded and occasional unpleasant odors during use.
“Very powerful... easy to clean but... noisy like a 12 Amp big Vac.”
“just a poor vacuum”
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.
