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. Read more

Working great and I purchased multiple of these from the past. I would suggest to purchase the extended warranty since the parts do wear down it break over regular usage. If you are ones who can keep the original box for years, I would keep that so it can be return need under extended warranty if and when it doesn’t work to its full capacity. Keep it in the garage or storage area. Label your vacuum so you remember when the warranty expires. Buy some extra filters since it handy to replacement regularly. Its weight is lightweight over a large or traditional vacuum cleaner. Great for small house and/or fast cleanup. It’s used almost daily or every other day. Read more

I have two of these and use them every day. I mounted them on the wall on their chargers. They're always ready to go; and being cordless and lightweight, they're never a hassle. I keep one in the basement in the "cat room" (where there's always bits of kitty litter around the litter boxes) and a quick pass with this vacuum keeps the carpet nice 'n clean! The other vacuum is mounted upstairs and it has more than enough power/suction to keep the carpets and floors spic 'n span. I'm hard-pressed to come up with anything negative to say about it other than the "hand vac" portion (when the lower assembly is detached) is not very effective. I still have an old Black & Decker hand vac that I defer to. But bottom line, this is a very useful vacuum; and I'm not seeing anything on the market (at this cost) that compares with it. Actually, I'm wondering if this model is still being manufactured in 2025. Read more

I LOVE this cordless vacuum cleaner. The vacuum power is great! Have had several other types/brands, and the internal battery gets weaker and I am racing around my house to try and clean before the battery dies. After awhile, the battery doesn't charge at all and you end up throwing the whole vacuum cleaner in the garbage. I was hoping Black & Decker would have a cordless vacuum, and behold they did! It uses the same external battery as all of my lawn/garden tools. The battery holds a much longer charge so I'm NOT racing through the house; but if I use all the battery 'juice', I have another one already charged (because I have them from my other tools, but I can also purchase extra batteries if I want). Getting the dirt bin on and off is a little tricky but I'm getting better at it with time. Wish I had thought about looking into Black & Decker years ago. Would have saved me money and frustration. I definitely recommend this cordless vacuum cleaner. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I got this vacuum after reading lots of reviews and thought it would be a great option for our home. During the winter I thought it was a nice vacuum other than trying to suck up crumbs under the dining room table that my robot vac can't reach. however now that it is spring dirt, sand and rocks are coming in (i live on a farm and have 3 kids and 3 adults and a dog in our household) it is horrible. It doesn't have enough suction power to pick up small rocks and it will just leave them behind or worse fling them back at you when you go to move. This vacuum also doesn't like changing surface heights so if you have area rugs and exposed flooring it will not suck up where they meet. It clogs easily in the tube that goes from thr floor head to the pipe. Dirt bin is a horrible design to remove and replace on the unit. I only use this vacuum in our entryway, stairs and stairwell landing and part of our basement. So far the only thing I still like is I can make it short enough for my toddler to use. I also like that I can use the same batteries as my drills. It's fairly light weight which I also like. I guess I am still searching for a good vacuum that has the power i need to remove the dirt. The photos I posted are of the rocks it leaves behind. And the stair rug I already vacuumed. Read more
