Much better than I expected a cordless to be.
This is the first cordless vacuum I have ever tried. I was hoping it would be easier to use than the monster corded vacuum I own. I have a thorough hatred of power cords when vacuuming. I already own several Black&Decker 20V cordless tools, so trying out this cordless vacuum made sense.The vacuum works much better than I expected. It is picking up all sorts of dust and hair the big machine missed. It is so much lighter and easier to maneuver that vacuuming is less of a chore. I can just grab a battery and be vacuuming in under 30 seconds and then put it away – so I am vacuuming more often. It seems to work on hard floors and short fiber rugs – bot not on small thin throw rugs which can get caught up in it. I have no thick long fiber carpet to try it on.It seems to be well built (but I may add to this review in the future if there are problems) and is really easy to breakdown and set up. I have used it as a one hand cordless vacuum and that feature works extremely well also. I did not order the pet attachments.Power: Forget trying to use a 1.5 AH 20V battery on this vacuum, it will go through it in a few minutes and start losing suction. 2.0 AH is better, but it does not last long enough for a thorough house cleaning either – maybe one or two rooms. I own a couple 7 AH 20V batteries and THOSE work well. I wear out long before the battery does – but they are heavy so the wrist and arm can get sore using these a lot. I would say the sweet spot is 3 AH to 5 AH, but I really like the 7AH for long duration cleaning. If you go with a high AH battery then invest in a fast charger for it – I can recharge the 7 AH in an hour or two using the fast charger (but it isn’t totally dead when I do this)Pros: The vacuum has a set of led lights that indicate on strong the motor in the vacuum is working. With the vacuum on high, it should have 3 LEDs lit up – when you see two just change out the battery because you are wasting your time trying to vacuum with a weak suction. The vacuum stick is metal and seems well made. The dust container is very easy to dump and clean out. The unit stands by itself in my closet – I already had a charging area set up so I am not using the charger rack to hang it from.Cons: It hates small throw rugs – especially light ones whose corners get sucked up into the machine and cause it to shut off.

Fantastic cordless – Comparable suction to the 11 AMP Vaccum we normally use.
Surprising amount of suction. The brush is powering through the carpet and the suction is picking everything up so It isn’t a breeze to push, it’s busy grabbing everything out of the carpet. I love the vacuum but would warn elderly people that it is too heavy for them, a lot of weight right at the hand and it’s not a breeze to push. I owned a more expensive cordless , the brand name starts with an e and ends with a lux. It was a great vacuum, I was very impressed with it, it was light and easy to push, did a very nice job but the battery faded and replacing it is very difficult. And with that said, this vacuum does a much better job than the more expensive one. There are caveats; It is heavy on the hands and it grabs and sucks up everything so it isn’t a breeze to push. I want to be clear, it isn’t hard to push, but if you are 80 years old and your arthritis is bothering you, it would be too much for you. Like I said in the title, this thing competes and might even out perform our 11AMP upright, when you vacuum with this thing you can see where you’ve been, it is surprisingly powerful.I highly recommend this product. And the replaceable batteries make it an easy choice. We have 4 Black and Decker devices that run on the same exact battery, 20 Volt lithium. We have the drill, lead blower, weed eater and the vacuum (happy with all of them).I don’t know how they test battery the amount of time the battery last. It probably would last 50 minutes on wood floors? For us it’s closer to 20-25 minutes (100% Carpeting with rugs) I can do the entire down stairs (1200 square feet) with one charge and if I need it for a longer period of time I can just swap the battery out with any of the other three we have. Again, I highly recommend this product.

Works well/priced reasonably
Power is good and I like that it has 3 power settings. Battery life is okay. Noise level is kind of loud but not as much as other vacuums. Suction works well. The lights are a nice touch.Docked it for the empty bin. A lot of stick dysons Iâve used have a spring shaft that you press down on to clear out the bin and around the filter. This one does not. Itâs not a Dyson so thatâs fine, just be aware youâll have to fish out some of the debris in the waste bin. If you have other B&D tools then the battery life shouldnât worry you too much. Itâs compatible with the batteries for most of the hand power tools they have.Also, it does not adjust really to floor height. So itâs great on hardwood floors and low low area rugs. Anything with texture itâll struggle with as it is set pretty low. Didnât include that in my star rating as I bought it for hardwood floors but itâs just a FYI to future buyers.Overall, would recommend.

I love the light on the front and that the battery is separate. The suction has three levels and the lowest one works well on hardwood floors. The dirt cup is a little small and it looks like the filter will need cleaning and replacing on a regular basis. Itâs bigger and a little heavier than I expected which is not a bad thing. It is definitely better quality than my old Dyson stick vac. All in all I am satisfied with the purchase.

Got this to replace a Dibea cordless vacuum. The main reason was the replacable battery – I was already invested in other Black & Decker tools (weed wacker, drill, jigsaw, and leaf blower), so I had quite a few 20V batteries and chargers lying around.The problem with the Dibea was two fold:1. If you ran it at high power the battery would die quickly (about 10-12 minutes), and then you would have to wait a few hours for the battery to recharge before finishing your vacuuming.2. If you ran it at the lower power it picked up the dirt ok and the battery would last longer but the suction would be minimal and part of the dirt/hairs would wind around the power headâs spinning brush and eventually work its way into the connection at the end of the brush and jam/damage the drive mechanism.The Black & Decker battery also only lasts about 10 minutes or so on its fastest speed, but I have a LOT of replaceable batteries ð!And the roller mechanism remains clear of debris at this high suction speed.I also worry about the Black & Decker air filter plugging up and slowing down the suction, so I bought a package with four replacement filters. I can wash one of them and let it dry while continuing on with one of the other ones.Now this vacuum is new to me so I donât know how it will perform long term. But the initial impressions are good.Update Dec-21-2023:Things continue to go well with this vacuum.I purchased a 5 amp hour battery:Ahomtikk 20V MAX Replacement for Black and Decker 20V Lithium Battey LBXR20 LB20 LBX20 LBXR2020-OPE LBXR20B-2 LB2X4020 Compatible with Black&Decker 20 Volt Battery https://a.co/d/bYh6HCBThis 5 amp-hour battery is physically about twice as deep as the original battery (and maybe about 40% heavier) but it still allows the vacuum to hang from its wall mount with the battery installed and charging.I was a bit concerned that I might notice the extra weight with the larger battery installed, but it feels about the same to me.It took just over 6 hours to charge the battery after I received it – long enough that I was a bit concerned that it might never fully charge, but it finally finished (I suspect that it came with at least a partial charge and I havenât yet measured how long it takes to fully charge a dead battery).The good part is it allowed the vacuum to run for just under 30 minutes (measured twice so far) on high speed. This is almost 3x as long as with the original battery.No idea how long the battery will last but so far so good.I have yet to have any kind of issue with the power head collecting any kind of debris around the two ends of the spinning brush, so that continues to be a win.Emptying debris from the dirt canister is a bit messy – originally I pulled it apart and cleaned the individual sections under running water (including the filter) as recommended. But if you wanted to continue vacuuming, you had to dry the parts and replace the filter with a fresh one.Recently I tried using the compressed air duster (I use the Koonie Cordless Air Duster sold on Amazon for $69 and a $20 off coupon) that I had purchased to blow dirt out of my computer. You take the vacuum canister outside and just blow the dirt out of it. Then you pull the filter section off the top and blow it out as well. This only takes a couple of minutes and it seems to work well since the filter looks as clean as it does after I wash it (though I will probably still occasionally wash it just to make sure). Since this doesnât involve water, the vacuum is immediately available to continue vacuuming – and you donât have to bother hunting down another filter.

Easy to operate – lightweight. Great suction power ! The bin is easy to empty and the filters are fairly easy to clean up. Love the carpet to bare floor feature. It picked up fine dirt that my old stick vac missed !!

Se nota bastante la suciedad que recoge cuando abro compartimiento (pelusa, polvo, cabello) que no lograba con una escoba tradicional, pero tiene algunas desventajas por lo que aún uso la escoba tradicional para los objetos âgrandesâ como palomitas, cacahuates, cáscara, etc.Puntuación que le doy para aspirar las cosas más comunes que salen diario en mi casa:Polvo 10Pelusa 10Cabello corto 10Pelo de gato 10Arena de gato 8 (Máxima potencia)Cabello largo 7 (Algunos quedan en rodillo)Croquetas gato 6 (tengo que alzarla)Piedritas 0 (no las levanta)Palillos de dientes 0 (se atoran en el rodillo)En general ayuda bastante, porque cuando usaba la escoba levantaba mucho polvo y parecÃa que sólo movÃa polvo de un lugar a otro, todos mis muebles se empolvaban muy rápido, dolor en los ojos diario por el polvo levantado, se hacÃa pelusa por el polvo y la estática, etc…La luz led es fabulosa, no comprarÃa otra que no traiga ese sistema porque ves partÃculas que a simple vista no se notan, incluso me gusta más aspirar con las luces apagadas porque contrasta mejor dónde hay polvo, pelusa, etc.El sistema de recolección de basura se puede desarmar completamente por si algo se llegara a atorar en la âhéliceâ interna.Ahora lo negativo:Hay basura que le queda grande y no pueden pasar por el sistema de rodillos , aunque sean ligeros pero sà son âgrandesâ (palomitas, croquetas, etc) no pasan al rodillo, se tiene que levantar un poco el rodillo para que esos objetos logren entrar en la boca de la aspiradora ó usar el accesorio que trae (aunque estar cambiando entre accesorios no es práctico).Otro punto negativo es que el cabello largo se enreda con relativa facilidad por lo que si en tu casa tienes caÃda de cabello largo (sobre todo de mujer) vas a tener que estar desenredando, aunque no es algo muy complicado, sà que es un inconveniente.El siguiente es el peso, en piso parejo no se siente y es relativamente cómodo que un niño de 7 años puede aspirar pero en escaleras es donde sentirás el peso y llega a cansar al estarlo levantando entre los escalones.Las esquinas son un poco difÃcil de accesar pero creo que cualquier aspiradora lo tendrÃa y se puede apoyar uno un poco con el accesorio que incluyen.Algo ruidoso, pero es hasta cierto punto algo ânormalâ para cualquier aspiradoras.De vez en cuando se llega a obstruir el tubo principal y pensarán que después de un tiempo ya no sirve o que disminuye su potencia, hay que quitarle el rodillo para ver que nada se haya atorado y esté obstruyendo. Con el seguro gris (foto) y algún desarmador se levanta el rodillo.¿VolverÃa a comprarla? Muy probablemente, aunque sà encontrara otra más ligera con sistema anti enredo de cabello, creo que me irÃa por esa otra.
