Poor Design

I have two similar handhelds from B&D. One hangs on the wall, one sits on a charging base. Both have flappers that don't close. The flapper opens to allow dirt in when the vacuum is on and then is supposed to close when the vacuum turns off. These don't close. It's two separate models, with similar designs, and both have equally failed. The one that sits on the charging base isn't very noticeable. But the one that hangs on the wall is almost useless as everything falls out of it... I've tries to contact B&D but nothing so far. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
