BLACK+DECKER POWERSERIES+ 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum, LED Floor Lights, Autosense Technology, For Multi-Surfaces (BHFEA520J), White

I bought this about 9 or 10 months ago and the vacuum works well and has nice suction. After the first 2 uses it became very loud making a high pitched sound when in use, but still worked well so I continued using it. I cleaned the whole thing multiple times and made sure nothing was blocked or stuck but the sound never went away. My main problem is that it has trouble standing because its so top heavy. I always have to prop it up in a corner of the closet or balance it against the wall where it wont be touched and knocked over between uses. It recently fell over while charging which broke the charger and now a small piece is stuck in the vacuum and the prongs of the power cord are bent. This vacuum is now unable to be re-charged and Im using it until the battery dies and then I guess its garbage because itll be useless. Im upset that even though the vacuum technically still works, it didnt even last a year.

This is the perfect solution to what I needed. I have five cats and a dog. Messy little monsters. So, I clean alot. I have a name brand (rhymes with Smyson) corded stand up vac that works great - but its huge. Its heavy and unwieldy-like pushing a midsize SUV around the house. So i bought the name brand cordless version. Also, great. But its still a bit heavy and the battery life is garbage so i ended up using the SUV anyway. So I got this little vac. 1. Weightless- so much easier to use. 2. Much smaller and fits into tighter spaces. 3. Was thrilled it has a light on it! 4. Comes with a bracket to hang on the wall. Does it have the suction power of the fancy pants vac? No, but its perfect for midweek touching up and messes.

just what i was looking for light weight easy to use.works great on tile floors headlight works great for seeing bits &pieces. hope it last

Ive had a previous cordless vacuum priced in the $100 range that functioned but the attachments were poor quality and the battery died after a year. But this Black N Decker vac is wonderful. Quality floor vacuum that does not hair tangle and has very good suction both on rugs and bare floors. Battery life is fine. Last about 30 min before recharge needed. Im not sure about recharge time because I leave it on recharge so it always ready. Instruction sheet sez internal recharge circuits wont allow over charge. Perfect machine, powerful and reliable. I have stopped using my plugin floor vac. Had this unit about 3 months with no problem.

I love that it stands up on its own! I don’t think the head comes off for a long pole use (like getting bugs without getting close lol) Took around 3 hrs for initial charge and had no issues cleaning my 1300 sq ft house (mostly hardwood, several rugs) it does feel cheap to the touch, but seems like sturdy plastic. Happy with it!

Bought this to replace an old B&D rechargeable upright. Went with the more powerful one. Great pick up and with the canister at the top it fits under furniture. To clear all the cat hair I still need my regular full size vacuum but this one is great for a quick clean up.

Works great, battery life is good and easy to empty the container.

Easy assembly, stands alone, charges quickly, great suction. I wish the collection cup was bigger, have to empty frequently to maintain suction power. But overall a great buy.

Pulls itself forward, I don’t like that but others might like it. It’s our backup Vaccum so it’s nice for that purpose

I really cant complain about this item given the low price tag. But figured Id share the honest pros and cons Ive come across in the month Ive owned this. Pros: Price for sure, lets be honest. My main reason was to eliminate the old broom and pan as my main space,entry, dining, kitchen, and bath are all luxury vinyl. It works REALLY well for bare floors. I do not have pets, but hadnt swept/cleaned in about a month. The suction is good. It picks up a ton of stuff you dont even see. I really like the swiveling head and low profile face. It gets under and around most all things. What I was most impressed with was how it picked up debris next to the baseboards well. In both the front and back entry I have the thin, low profile rugs. As it says, it does sense this and kicks the suction up to HIGH. Worked well on these as well. It also detaches easily to become a short vacuum with attachment. I have not tried using to vacuum my car yet. Probably wont either, I have a shop vac and dont really have an issue with it. Cons: This is not built or meant as a cordless rug vacuum. So if thats what you want it for, Id look elsewhere. Once its on carpet with any sort of length, it is hard to push/maneuver around. On top of that, when its in HIGH suction mode, it will drain the battery in record time. You might get 2 rooms done at best. Charge time is 4 hours! I actually verified this with Black and Decker that is the normal charge time. For a 30/40 min max (Im being generous) run time, that just doesnt seem right. Conclusion: Works really well for bare floors. It accomplishes what I wanted it to as the common areas, mostly the kitchen, get the dirtiest and its an effortless cleanup with this. For $100, as long as it continues to perform as is, I think its a solid buy. Just dont expect this to clean your whole house. Feel the $300+ ones are that expensive for a reason. Ive never used one so cant say. But I know what this one does well and what it wont do well. Hope this helps.
