My review and perspective on model: PSV1800 vacuum cleaner

This is the Black and Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner Review please check the reviews page for a comparison of other vacuum cleaners.

Those of you who have read my other reviews know that I'm not easy on stick vacuum's, I just don't like them. About the best thing you'll hear me say is what I'll say about this stick vac, and that is that it's a decent enough machine for what it is. Black & Decker's design is fairly trouble free, however the addition of the pivot on this machine does add complexities that some people have troubles with. The troubles people most have that I see is a sticking pivot, or dust leaking from the pivot points. This is about as good as you get with stick vacuums and I will always suggest the Oreck XL 2000 over a stick vacuum. You'll pay twice as much for the Oreck but it will be worth every penny, it will last more than 5x as long. Black & Decker has better battery technology than any of the other stick vacuums I've ever seen because of their experience in handheld battery operated power tools so you don't have the troubles with quick burn outs like with many of the other stick vacuum cleaners.

The PSV1800 is a Residential vacuum designed for use in the Residential environment. I have reviewed it accordingly, the price point of the PSV1800 is set for the Residential industry which should be taken into consideration when purchasing or thinking about purchasing this vacuum. Commercial vacuum cleaners may be built to last longer and endure more abuse, but are more expensive and may be lacking some of the luxuries (such as light weight, or low noise) that you are accustomed to. On the contrary Residential vacuums are made at lower price points, lower quality, but are often lighter and quieter to use.
