Black & Decker NEW 18v Pivot® Dustbuster®
This is the all new Black & Decker PV1825N 18 volt Pivot Nose Dustbuster. So, what is so different about it? Is it that much better than the previous model the PV1805? Well yes actually it is. It is smaller, quieter and also lighter. A lot lighter making it easier to hold. Yet it is Black & Decker’s most powerful and highest performing Dustbuster to date. How have they done this? Let’s take a more detailed look.
It is 10% smaller than the previous model which helps to reduce the weight. Don’t worry because the dirt bowl is actually bigger. No I mean 40% bigger. So it is lighter and therefore it is also more comfortable to hold, yet it provides even greater performance. How have they done it? Well, the new Dustbuster has a patented ‘motor in filter’ design. This has led to the reduced size and weight. The bulky rear of this hand held vacuum has been replaced by a motor contained within the filter in the dust bowl. It is also much quieter than the original Dustbuster Pivot so you won’t disturb the entire house when tidying.
So OK, it is quieter, smaller, lighter and more powerful. It doesn’t end there however. The Black and Decker Patented Nozzle design can pivot through an amazing 200 degrees. It actually locks into 8 different angled settings, great for getting into those awkward spaces such as under furniture, the tops of door frames, picture frames and mirrors. It’s also great for cleaning the car, getting into those small spaces around the dashboard and between the seats.
The other great benefit of this nozzle design is that it allows you to balance the unit in a way that best suits you. For any of those difficult to reach spots you can always use the crevice pull out tool. This extends from the main nose and enables you to get into those tighter spots with ease.
If you want to clean a more delicate surface such as a wooden table or a polished floor then you can always flip up the soft brush which is attached to the underside of the nose. This will prevent any scratching of the surface.
This all new Black & Decker Pivot Nose Dustbuster has a cyclonic action. What does that mean? It means that all of the dust and dirt spins away from the filter, rather than getting sucked into it like most other handheld vacuums. This causes the Dustbuster to maintain its high level suction for longer, rather than losing power. It also means that the filter is much easier to clean. The filter can easily be lifted out of the dirt bowl and shaken out or washed and left to dry so vastly improving the life span of the vacuum. The bowl is also translucent and so you always know when you need to empty it out.
This process couldn’t be easier. Simply click open the dirt bowl door and empty the contents into the bin. You can even remove the dirt bowl so that it also can be cleaned.
So now to storage. The entire unit simply folds in half and stands upright on the charging base. A blue light tells you when it is charging. Not only is it an efficient hand held vacuum, it also looks good. Its impressive design will make it a product you are proud to have on display in your house.
So, to recap. The main plus points are: -
- 200 degree pivoting nose allows access to hard to reach areas
- Cyclonic action spins the dust away from the filter to improve suction
- 18v power delivers maximum suction power and performance
- Smaller, quieter and easier to clean than original Dustbuster Pivot
- Translucent, bagless dirt bowl is easy to empty and clean
Having just checked the reviews on amazon.co.uk, they are all 5 stars. There is not a single negative out there. With comments such as “It’s like comparing your Dyson to those horrible dustbusters of old that didn’t really pick up”, “Highly recommended.”, “This has to be the grand daddy of all dustbusters!”, “I feel that I am winning the “dog hair” battle at last!” and “this Black and Decker has really impressed me” I think they are on to a real winner.
