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

I was skeptical of the size of this vacuum cleaner compared to the traditional ones, but this is my favorite household product by far.

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.

I loved this vacuum. So light weight and so easy to clean

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.

Great vacuum, great price, great suction power for hardwood/tile floors, it could definitely be better when it comes to carpet/rugs/mats as it usually will shut off automatically after about 30 seconds when I use it on my carpet (idk if theres a setting specific for carpet area and I am not using it correctly..) The only downfall is battery life, I dies during EVERY use (I have a 2bed/1b apartment) so that sucks but cant beat the price

Its just been a week in use, but so far I love it. Light, easy to use. I almost bought a different brand, but realized that one wasnt designed for both hardwood and carpet. I find myself using it way more than my corded vac, because its just so easy! Only downside (which I had read in other reviews) is that the charge doesnt last very long. I typically clean a little bit every morning, so it hasnt my needs so far.

This is a fairly good cordless vacuum with moderate suction, even at the higher carpet setting. - it has good pick up on non-carpeted floors (tile, wood, etc) - it doesn’t take up much room to store, just a small space in my corner - it stands up on its own - it flattens easily so you can get under the couch, bed, tables, etc without making any adjustments - it automatically switches to carpet mode when you go over rugs or carpet However, - it takes at least 2-3 hours to fully charge - the battery quickly runs down if you have a lot of carpeted areas - it doesn’t do a good job picking up from corners and up against the wall - vacuuming a rug will roll it up from the corner (easier to just pick up rug out of the way) Overall, I love it for light floor cleaning and small carpeted areas. Generally it’s great for small spaces.

I love this little vacuum. I wanted something cordless and lightweight without paying $300+ for a Shark or Dyson. Pros: It stands on its own! Easy to plug in, easy to empty, brush roll doesn’t get tangled up with hair, stays on low power on hard floors and automatically changes to high power on carpet and area rugs, battery life is very good. There’s really not much that I don’t like except when it switches to high suction on my small entryway rug, it sucks it up. Works great on bigger area rugs. I don’t see any reason to pay more for another brand unless you have a LOT of carpet. I have all tile and wood with rugs and this is all I need.

The head is powerful enough and still easily goes under my couch which is low to the floor. Other vacs Ive had would rub against the bottom of the couch. The dust bin is really easy to remove and replace with the push of a button which is another plus as other vacs Ive owned had difficult twist on configurations for this. Stands on its own without crashing to the floor and fits nicely in a small pantry closet where I had an outlet installed.

I vacuum my whole house including front porch and back deck. No stairs. I really like the light. It helps me see dust that I did not see before.
