Pros & cons
Black+Decker dustbuster FLEX Cordless Handheld Vacuum
- ✓4-ft flexible hose extends reach well beyond a rigid handheld
- ✓Comes with a real accessory kit — nozzle/brush, crevice tool, and pet brush
- ✓Washable filter — no recurring filter cost
- ✓20V MAX battery platform, one step up from the AdvancedClean+'s 12V
- ✓Charging base keeps the unit and hose attachment organized
- ✓2-year limited warranty
- ✗Smaller 502ml dustbin than the plain AdvancedClean+ (750ml)
- ✗Shorter 15-minute rated runtime
- ✗Pet brush attachment is passive, not motorized — don't expect deep carpet pet-hair pickup
- ✗Manufacturer and retailer weight listings disagree by nearly 2 lbs, so true weight is unclear
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Hand Vacuum with Powered Brush (Tool Only)
- ✓Genuine motorized mini beater bar for pet hair — not just a passive brush attachment
- ✓Published airflow (30 CFM) and sealed-suction (23 IOW) specs instead of vague marketing claims
- ✓Over 40-minute rated runtime, long for a handheld
- ✓Comes with a dust brush and crevice tool in addition to the pet beater bar
- ✓3-year limited warranty
- ✓Cheaper than Ryobi's premium PBLHV701K brushless kit if you already own a battery
- ✗Tool only — no battery or charger included, adding real cost if you don't already own Ryobi ONE+ batteries
- ✗No published filtration type (HEPA or otherwise)
- ✗No published weight or dimensions
- ✗Too new a line for long-term owner reliability data
