Why did you pick this product vs others?: After trying several other vacuums, I ended up keeping this and purchasing a second one because not only do I have all the Black & Decker batteries already for backup, but this thing will vacuum up all of the things you never even knew were in your carpet and on your floor. It has a light in the front to help you see under underneath furniture and dark spaces like closets and hallways. It’s easy to empty and easy to remove the beater bar so that you can clean that periodically. It’s also super lightweight which I love. There’s just this one thing you need to know about the vacuuming of the carpets and the vac turning itself off….. that’s really the only reason that I’m even leaving this review is because I read other reviews and I thought oh those people just don’t know what they’re doing and now I have new carpets and it happened to me too! I was like, nope! so I found a way around it by gluing some items onto the bottom of the vacuum to create a little bit of additional airflow and small bit of height so that when I vacuum the carpets now it doesn’t get so suctioned into the surface and shut itself off… so take a look at the video and just know that if you have this problem, find a creative solution… this vacuum is worth it.

I bought this vacuum cleaner in December 2023 and it's still like new. The battery is still like new, I haven't noticed any deterioration in its condition. It vacuums very well, sucks up debris from the floor. Sometimes you just have to unclog the long tube because it gets clogged on wool carpets. But it's really excellent. Lightweight and, to my surprise, it doesn't wear out or break down at all, and the battery is, as you can see, very durable. It's a really good vacuum cleaner. And I've had a dozen or so of them over the last five years.The battery usually died after half a year of use. I will add that I use this vacuum cleaner every day since I bought it, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, but every day I have an apartment, I don't have a house and I don't have pets, but I still think it's perfect for a large family like mine. It's useful for everyday use in the kitchen, dining room, hall.Today I recommended this vacuum cleaner to your friend and I hope that the battery has not lost its quality and that she will be as happy with this vacuum cleaner as I am.

Really disappointed, battery lasts 10/15 min and noisy. Read more

Charge gets over within 20 minutes. Its also vey noisy compared to even a corded vaccum cleaner Read more

Debated between several cordless vacuums and ended up choosing this one, I love it. The battery lasts a really long time, it is not super noisy, and picks up everything and anything from the ground, super easy to clean the base and to clear the reservoir too. Very lightweight as well and the light at the end of the vacuum to see the floor is super helpful when cleaning dark spots. Read more

I was looking for a smaller, inexpensive vaccum to use mostly on my hardwood floors. I have one cat and otherwise don't have much foot traffic. I mainly was wantinf something to clean up cat hair with. After days and days of research I finally settled on this bad boy(which was cheaper than the other options I found I might add). Other reviews I've seen bring up the battery life a lot. I personally have no issue with it. I vaccum my whole house daily minus my carpeted areas. I can get about 3 days out of my battery before needing to charge it. After vacuuming I usually pop it on the charger just so I know it's ready to go. The "turbo" mode, as I like to call it does take more battery and it kicks on when it thinks it's needed (think rugs, or areas with a lot of dirt and debris). I will say the vaccum does try to eat your rugs and will suck them up in the brush causing the vaccum to turn off. Otherwise no complaints there, the suction is great, almost too great for the rugs and cat toys haha. For those with cats, it does pick up cat litter decently, you do need to go over it more than once and of course when removing/emptying the canister, do it over the trash for any loose pieces. The added light on the front is great to really see what's on the floor and what spots you've missed. You can unattach the floor attachment for a handheld vaccum(works great for couches and vehicles) however I do wish there was a brush attachment. The canister is smaller but again I have no issues with emptying it after each vaccum and sometimes can get away with every two to three vaccums. It is pretty light weight considering however I feel like it would still be a bit on the heavier side for someone who is older. A bonus is that the brush roller easily pops out to be cleaned( to remove any hair wrapped around it) to keep it working as it should. The part with the filter is a little tough to pull out at times but overall not too much of a hassle. It handles good and rolls fine although the wheels can be a little squeaky. It is decently loud on the turbo mode but not too horrible on the level 1 mode. Overall I would recommend, it's great and better than expected. It's not big and bulky and gets the job done at a great price. I will say I'm not too sure how well it would hold up battery and canister wise for mostly carpeted houses with multiple pets. But for mostly hardwood with 1 or 2 animals you should be good to go! Read more

I had a Dyson stick vacuum that cost a ridiculous amount that lasted for less than four years. I did love it initially, but now not the value for money. So I figured I might as well pay way less and see how this one goes! So far so good. This is more functional than a corded vacuum for what I need and is pretty easy to manage, but not quite as maneuverable as the Dyson was (although the low profile ability to reach under furniture is better). Also the B&D is not quite as light, but in the same ballpark. The canister is small, but not that much smaller than and is MUCH easier to empty compared to the Dyson. And if I notice the "sucking power" is lacking, emptying the canister (because like I said, small for some jobs) always fixes it right back up for me. The one thing I'll say is I am taking care to handle to plastic piece that releases then locks the canister back on with a delicate touch- read that some other users had worries about the longevity there. Also read that it's "need-hearing-protection loud"- for me, it is comparable to any other vacuum I've ever had and not at all a problem. And I love that the battery is interchangeable with other B&D products I already own so the battery life is a non-issue. I LOVE the light because it's so obvious what it is that you're trying to pick up. Bought it in March and if this vacuum lasts another 8-10 months, which I fully expect it to, it will already be better value than my Dyson was. (Disclaimer: got this for about $175 on sale) Read more

I've now had this B & D vac for one year and I previously had an Evereze branded one that only lasted a year before it's unreplaceable battery went bad so I have to compare the B & D with that . All that I can say about it is that the B & D has had zero problems in that time . Pick up power is acceptable , it always surprises me how much this picks up every time I use it . It could do better on hard floors , I do run it on mine , but have to sweep afterwards . The filter assembly comes out easily for cleaning and the filter housing is a very nice set up that's not bulky or going to get in the way or break like the cheaper brands . What is a bit disappointing about the filter is that it does not have a fine filter element in it . What looks like the filter is really just a plastic debris catcher and anything that makes it through that gets filtered only by a small foam disc . The good thing is that cleaning the filter assembly is simple , you can use soap and water on everything , and you don't have any paper filter that needs to be purchased and replaced regularly . The bad thing is that foam isn't a very good filter , it is no doubt letting a lot of fine dust through and is blowing it back into the room . I would recommend getting a pack of the foam discs so that you can swap them out after each use and then wash them when you have a few to do at the same time . Replacement foam filters : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBBY1J3T/ . I would rate this stick vac a 7 out of 10 , it's strengths being ease of cleaning , durability , and proven 20V Max battery system . Weaknesses are the filter element and hard floor performance . Recommended . Read more
