Hey guys, found a Black+Decker PD1200AV at a garage sale for $30. Looks like it retails for $80. It's a handheld vac with a small canister. Anyone used one? Is it worth keeping or should I flip it?

For $30 that's a steal. I have the older model and it works great for quick interior cleanups. Not a substitute for a shop vac but for crumbs and dust it's solid. Keep it for the car.

I'd keep it. Those little vacs are handy. I use mine for the work truck all the time. The only downside is the battery life, but if it's corded you're fine. Does it have a wall plug?

It's corded, actually. 12V car plug. So no batt issues. I'll probably keep it then. Thanks for the input guys!

Corded is even better for extended use. Make sure you don't forget it in the outlet when you drive off lol. Seen that happen.
