The original battery powered hand vacuums used Nicads, then they were upgraded to the "gold" version which were NiMH batteries. These each used two drop in packs with a total of 6 sub C cells for a total of 7.4 volts. These worked well but the voltage was adequate but not over powering. The actual vacuums (original Versapak) were built using a hard injection molded plastic which meant if you dropped it the body or battery hold down would break. The design is similar but the batteries are retained using a spring loaded clip on the battery.What I really like is the the built-in narrow extension tool which allows the vacuum to get into narrow areas. The built-in feature is a real plus because accessories tend to get separated from tools like this. In addition, there is clip on crevice tool which snaps into the extending nose of the vacuum. It, along with a brush, are stored in the back side of the vacuum. Overall, the vacuum design is similar to older models but improved.The best part of this battery powered hand vacuum is the use of Lithium Ion batteries. These are small 1300 milliamp hour A123 cells which are extremely rugged and good for a 1000 charges. Best of all is they hold their charge for months, not days or weeks which are typical of Nicads or NiMH cells. Nothing is more frustrating then wanting to use a battery powered tool and when you want to use it the battery pack needs to be recharged. The VPX charger takes longer than I like, but that's a normal consumer grade charger. It's a shame because these batteries can be quick charged in 15 minutes with a more powerful charger. The motor is a brushed motor that takes time to break in, so a new motor needs to be used a bit to get the most out of it.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.DissapointedBy Don WinansBlack & Decker VPX0320 Dual Port ChargerBlack & Decker VPX0111 7-Volt VPX Battery PackVpx Hand VacI was about to contact Black and Decker. Something has to be wrong. I fully charged the two batteries and inserted into the Vac. I ran it for 5 minutes, put the vac away, and ran it for 5 minutes a week later and the vac recharge light comes on. There are two expensive batteries fully charged, can they only run for two 5 minute intervals? If thats it, they should scrap this product.Don winans9 of 11 people found the following review helpful.Poor battery charger technology; uncertain customer serviceBy T. ThornburgI received this Black and Decker vacuum as a holiday gift. At first, I thought this was a good successor to a history of cheap, ineffective hand vacs. However, after two charges, the Black and Decker battery charger ceased working. While this product is still under warranty, I am now going through a painful back and forth about replacement of the charger that involves Black and Decker and DeWalt. I've searched for another charger to purchase, but I can only buy it in a package with other Black and Decker power tools. Why would I buy power tools that I can't power because of unreliable battery charging? I don't intend to buy more of this.See all 19 customer reviews...
