Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker HV9010P Retriever Pet-Series Cyclonic-Action Corded Dustbuster and Blower
Customer Review: Not for me.. Its corded!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess I didn't read correctly when I was at Walmart and bought this thing. I didn't read that it is NOT cordless. When I got home I pluggged it in and immediately noticed it is very loud and probably powerful. When I realized the cord didn't come out, I decided that I would be taking it back. I'm not into the whole old fashioned thing. The only corded vacuum I want or need are my beloved Dyson's. I'm going to get another Black and Decker CORDLESS.Customer Review: Not for picking up ash.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this unit based on reviews and that it is corded (more power). Well I pluged it in and it worked for about 1 minutes worth of vacuuming up ash from my pellet stove. It quickly over heated and shut down. I returned it and am now looking for a different, good hand held vacuum.Customer Review: Ok power but not enough for car vacuuming
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not sorry that I purchased the vacuum but it does have it's limitations. When I tried to vacuum the floor of my car it wouldn't pick up even the tiniest pebbles or bits of gravel. It worked fine on the seats but it got hot after a while and turned itself off for about 20 minutes! I was sure that it was ruined but after 20 minutes it worked fine again. It worked great in the house on dust in those hard to vacuum areas like under the desk & behind the TV. Also worked great on shredded paper on the floor by the shredder. I'll enjoy having it for such things but I'll still be dragging out the 20 year old shop vac for the car. Oh, the special retriever head kept falling apart in my hands (not put together right at the factory). I had to figure out how to put the tiny belt on and snap it back together myself. Not the end of the world but when you take something like that out of the box you expect it to work.Customer Review: Ok, but not great
Summary: 2 Stars
The machine doesn't hold up well with usage. I've had it for a few months and now it overheats after five minutes and turns itself off- even when the canister has been cleaned out. The attachments worked great the first two months and then one by one stopped working. The vacuum power is so weak with the attachments on that I can barely feel it with my hand.
Without the attachments, the vacuum is still pretty powerful, but again it overheats after five minutes. I can't even clean small surfaces without waiting for the machine to cool off and turn itself back on.
My cat's hair is pretty rough and tends to get itself entwined in fabrics making it really hard to clean up. The spinning carpet attachment did a pretty decent job getting the cat hair off my couch- until it stopped working.
Customer Review: Okay for cat hair, not bad for the price!

We looked everywhere on the internet for a good pet vacuum that was cheap and small for our small apartment, and this was the closest thing we found-- it's pretty effective on the couch and blankets, which is great, but not as effective for our carpets, which are pretty "flat" as carpets go; I think this vacuum does best when it can dig into carpets a little with its rotating appendage. All in all, it's cheap, it's a dustbuster, and it's pretty effective, so I'm pretty happy with it, but don't expect miracles :)
