The handling is easy and virtually self-explanatory, the keys are large and provided with appropriate icons. The nozzle can be rotated so that you can keep the vacuum cleaner vertically on the handle also at narrow points and not have him completely rotate. In the suction nozzle is integrated an extendible crevice nozzle and a fold-out brush for smooth surfaces. The brush is however directly attached to the suction nozzle and can not be pulled out with the crevice tool, so you can use either the brush or the crevice tool, but not both.
Cleaning is also very easy, by pressing a button the motor can be separated from the dust container and then empty. In the dust container is a filter housing with plastic screen and a quick cleaning filters with filter fabric. Quick cleaning filter can easily remove dust with a simple turn. To get the full suction, it is advisable, however, take out the filter and thoroughly cleaned. According to the manual, the filter should be replaced every 6 to 9 months, this is available as a spare part in the trade.
All in all, the Black & Decker 18 Volt Handstaubsauger quite practical household helper, which is close at hand if you have once again dragged dirt from the street into the house or on the posters the chip crumbs were distributed. Positive is the easy handling, the powerful suction and the overall good quality. As negative I feel just the very loud engine and the attachment of the brush on the suction nozzle at the extendable crevice tool I would have felt it was more practical.
