great for pet hair pickup 
This product works as advertized. Amazing. I have three cats and two dogs. (One is part Lab, the worst for shedding.) I have had my share of vacuum cleaners that quit, unable to stand up to the stress of the hair.
This product seems up to meeting my needs for a clean house despite shedding of many mammals.
Amazing!!
I just bought this so I wouldn't have to lug my big vaccum around to clean the furniture. Never expected it to work so great. I have two dogs and two cats and a canvas couch. Normally it takes 30min to and hour to get all the hair off my couch, in 10 min I was done. You only need to take one or maybe two passes instead of the normal 5-6 or more with all three of my past vacuums. The attachment with the brush pivots and it really whips that hair right up, it's amazing. This is the only cleaning product that I've ever been so impressed with to write a review. You can't beat the price either.
Waste of money 
I purchased this product specifically for my new vehicle which I use to tote my dogs around. They shed all over the carpet lining in the back and I was hoping I would get results from this machine as it had an attachment designed for the sole purpose of picking up dog hair. The motor was powerful, I will admit that, but I didn't actually see it do anything with all that power! The suction was very poor and was even less effective when using the hose. I felt like I was getting somewhere with the pet hair attachment for a while but it didn't take very long for the spinning plastic bristles to stop working. So after using it for about 15 minutes, and with very little in the chamber (as it hardly picked up anything except some pebbles!), I thought I would see it the filter needed to be cleaned and it didn't. I also tried to clean out the dog hair attachment to little avail. It still doesn't work.
I did not have high expectations in the first place and this product still didn't meet me even half way at that! If you plan on suctioning up cheerio's or rice - by all means get this $40 item. Heck I'll give you mine. I went back to using duct tape and haven't looked back.
worst product - par for the course for black and decker
I cannot begin to explain what a complete and total rip off this product is. The pieces won't stay together, the suction is subpar, it falls apart if you look at it. Having experienced Black and Decker "quality" before, I should have known that this would be their standard substandard, but other reviews convinced me that maybe B&D had turned around.
They haven't. It's un-usable if you want to use the rotating head. I'm sure if you're just using the handheld part, and don't want the rotor brush, that it picks up crumbs just fine, but as a pet hair vac, it's pointless. It's heavy enough that I bruised the bejebus out of my foot when it fell apart and fell on my foot.
It's loud, it's low quality, and a better use of your $30 would be to set it on fire to see the pretty colors. After multiple attempts to fix their design flaws, including duct taping the pieces together, I've just put it in the charity box.
Avoid this waste of cash. Seriously.
Yes, It SUCKS!
I have owned two cordless Black & Decker vacuums... I have never been very happy with them so I decided on the corded model to clean up around the litter box. HA! The clever little rotating brush attachement froze up almost at once. Any small piece of dirt/litter jams it and it's useless.
While the vac has more power than the cordless models I am, once again, UNDERWHELMED. The item is cheap, dirty and difficult to clean. The attachment hose and brush are a flimsy joke. I'm going to order another Eureka Optima for my downstairs pet area.
