the Black & Decker PSV 1800 Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner be quite a nice device , capable of handle carpet as well as hardwood floor -lrb- fortunately -rrb- . Easy to use , a nice charge feature build into the storage stand and a reasonable amount of use afford by a single charge , after the first couple , since it take a couple of charge for the battery to reach its potential . I give away my big , noisy vacuum cleaner after receive this one .
