I bought this vacuum about 4 months ago. I have given it an honest try. I HATE this vacuum. The battery doesn’t even last long enough to clean my RV!!! Nevermind a house. I can do my kitchen and living room and then it dies!!!! It is SO HEAVY! The lip to pick up the simplest, smallest items doesn’t work!! I tried to vacuum up some dropped/dry rice yesterday and it just pushes it around the floor!! The suction when trying to clean under my kitchen table is TERRIBLE. OH AND!!! It is SUCH A PAIN to get the different head pieces on because the standard one is SO HARD to get off!!!! truly the worst vacuum I have ever owned. I am going back to a shark vacuum.

This did a better job on my rug than my (admittedly older) corded dyson ball vacuum. Love that you can very easily change to other Black&Decker Powerseries batteries. I already have a couple for power tools and they are only around $30 to buy separately. A lot cheaper than a dyson battery!!
On the down side, it is a little heavy for a cordless vac, but I’m fine with that for the power.

I got this vac over others due to the removable 20V MAX B&D batteries that use the same ones as their tools. Only a few cordless stick vacs have that sort of option. You can even buy a battery adapter for other manufacturers’ 18/20V batteries (I have one for Milwaukee M18 and Makita), so you don’t have to invest in more batteries if you already have some. More importantly, you are not stuck with the 2Ah battery–if you want longer run time, you can get bigger batteries (it will of course increase the weight of the vac), or get a few more 2Ah batteries and keep going. Most of the other stick vacs have sealed internal batteries. The battery charger is clever–you can charge just the battery, or charge it while it’s inserted in the vac, or place the charger into the wall mount so that it can charge when it’s hanging there.
As for the vacuum itself, it’s pretty powerful. The brushless power head does a great job of lifting up tons of hair and dust from my carpet, about as good as my full-sized corded vac. The vac is a bit heavier than I expected, and the stick is not adjustable (so it could be awkward for short people), but nevertheless, I don’t have a problem maneuvering it.
Everything fits snug, so there is no rattling, creaking or flexing. But with such tight fitting components, there’s no tolerance for easy “one-handed” detaching or attaching–it fits and clicks in, or it doesn’t. While this is good in general, the waste canister needs a bit of effort to pop out for emptying and snap back into place. Not the best design, but effective, and the seals are tight. The unforgiving fit also applies to the battery and charger, so it takes a little bit of effort to line up and click in.
As others have noted, the biggest drawback to this vac is that there isn’t enough clearance between the head and the floor. While this provides excellent suction under the head, larger debris gets pushed around. And it has little to no suction around the front and sides of the head, so you’d have to use the other attachments to touch up the crevices around baseboards/walls.
Still, if you want a great hair, dust and dirt vac because you have pets or wear shoes in the house, this is a far better value for this job than overpriced Dyson or mediocre cheap stick vacs. It’s a great option for vacuuming in between a more thorough vacuuming session with your corded canister or house vac.

I consider myself a great housekeeper, I used it the first time and my home was so dusty and dirty my battery lasted only for 2 rooms. Battery does not last long, I ordered a 40V battery for this product, The cheap battery withe this expensive prodcuct disappointed me. It lasted about 40minted.. But the product is 5 ****** stars, sucking up dust is really strong. Design is easy to use and looks beautidul. Please at qa 40 V battery and you have a happy customer. If you lile preformance you will not go wrong with this product.

Práctica, ligera, aspira súper bien piso duro, fácil de limpiar su depósito.
La carga alcanza para aspirar una superficie de 150 M2 en velocidad baja.
Para limpieza ruda 50m2 en alta velocidad.
El inconveniente es qué no hay repuestos accesibles.

Battery life is to short. If it lasts longer would give 5 stars.

Save your money. I bought this vacuum in the middle of April and I’m going to return. Zero suction on the sides, so you have to swivel the head to be straight on for it to pick up anything. Because of this, things (dog hair, especially) get stuck on the sides, so you need to pull it off and feed to front of machine. The dirt and hair also back up into the stick of the vacuum – even when the cartridge isn’t full, so you have to dig it out of the tube. It also is falling apart. You have to snap the canister in and out of the wand, and the plastic breaks. The top of the cartridge is also coming apart, so it makes it harder to snap the cannister into place. Such a bad machine – especially at this price point.

Accessories difficult to fit together with just two hands. Need to place on flat surface in order to manipulate the hand-held unit onto the floor unit. All mating surfaces in black so difficult to see what you’re doing! Floor unit doesn’t glide easily from hardwood or tile into carpet .. even relatively thin carpet. No side suction so doesn’t clean against base molding. Sits too low so floor unit just pushes de Brit up instead of vacuuming it up. Extremely disappointing product for Black & Decker!! Only positive is it uses same 20V batteries as many other B&D products. Expected way better!!

I ordered this product due to many reviews that I read. I am sick of paying the crazy price that Dyson charges so I thought I would give this a try. I actually still have a dustbuster that I purchased 23 years ago. Granted it only runs for 30 seconds but that is enough time to vacuum up the lint when cleaning out the dryer trap! This machine has a great battery life and works very we, we have two dogs. The canister is a bit small and needs to be emptied frequently to ensure that it works at an optimal level. I would highly recommend this product and will amend later if needed.
