Written reviews elsewhere
“We like the Max Pivot for its integrated tools and articulating nozzle. The unit is particularly good at picking up coarse debris, including animal hair.”
TechGearLab“The Black and Decker Pivot Vac PHV1810 was one of our favorite handheld vacuum cleaners we have rated. It had strong suction and worked well on our tests for hard surfaces, carpet and automobiles.”
Vacuum Wizard“Overall, this Black & Decker handheld vacuum has a strong degree of suction and could be a good option for the user who needs to have a vacuum readily available.”
