Flexible HoseThe ‘wrap around’ hose is designed to offer a range of options for usage. To operate the vacuum like a traditional hand held unit, the user just leaves the hose and nozzle in the fixed position. But, for additional freedom of movement the user can unclip the nose piece in order to reach high or awkward areas. In addition, you can use the flip-out upholstery brush for additional dust removal on delicate surfaces like lampshades and curtains. The crevice tool is ideal for confined spaces such as between kitchen units or car foot wells. | Powerful and ManoeuvrableThe BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster Flexi comes integrated with a high performance motor in order to provide powerful cleaning performance and efficiency. As well as boasting a powerful performance, the Dustbuster Flexi is designed to be compact and lightweight. The motor is positioned inside the filter which ensures that the product is comfortable to hold and light enough to manoeuvre around during use. | UsageDesigned with the modern home in mind, the Dustbuster Flexi comes with a number of accessories that facilitate cleaning in every part of your home. Accessories to use include a flip out upholstery brush and a long crevice tool to clean in those awkward nooks and crannies. The accessories can also be fitted on to the docking station for convenient storage after use which helps to prevent loss and allows for useful access. | Cyclonic Action and Triple FiltrationCyclonic action and triple filtration allows the unit to be more efficient and maintain suction power for longer. The dust bowl window clearly shows when the unit requires emptying and the filter cleaning system means there is no need to remove the filter for cleaning. Build up of fine dust can be removed from around the filter with a couple of twists of the cleaning wheel avoiding any unnecessary mess when emptying the machine. |

Great for kitchen… For heaven sake don’t try to do the stairs! Excellent for the car…

Suction is very good. Yeah, it’s quite noisy but great little vacuum. Having the flexible hose gives it good reach into small spaces.
Bought this around 2 weeks ago roughly, has been a life saver. I personally use it to hoover my room which does mean I have to crouch to the floor don’t get me wrong but I literally only have to Hoover maybe 5 minutes every day. Does a great job and I have no complaints SO FAR. Suction is really good (is really loud when it’s on though)

Fabulous vacuum cleaner with great suction and very versatile hose that wraps around the unit for storage and fixed use. It’s early days but seems very sturdy and it’s easy to empty and keep clean. I tend to us it on my cars and the narrow vacuum head is good at getting in the crannies around the seats etc. I also use it on stairs in the house at again its good at getting into the corners that the conventional cleaner struggles to get into. Thoroughly recommend – especially when it was on offer at 80.
Bought for car. Gravel accumilates in footwell. Used this unit and it did a good job of removing gravel. I recommend this product.
The vacuum cleaner works well – but you can read other five star reviews for that. But mine developed a small fault – the first problem I (aged 67!) have ever had with a B+D product So I contacted their customer support. Once they were satisfied it was a fault (and not me using it the wrong way) they asked to see proof of purchase and sent me a replacement with no quibble or delay. That’s worth five stars. Thank you Raphael.
For everyday dust and cobwebs its great it does suffer a little bit on carpeted stairs i guess it depends on how thick your set is but the suction wasn’t adequate for the task sadly. on laminate flooring and tiles great, don’t have any pets so i can’t rate the pet attachment, the dust tray is small but easy to open and empty. eventually i retruned this and went with the more expensive but more powerful GTECH vacuum which works a lot better on carpets.

This little vacuum is fabulous. It makes keeping the caravan and car clean easy. It runs for a good while when fully charged and the dog hair attachment is super effective. Crucially, it stows away neatly in a small space. Thank you to whoever it was who wrote a review of small vacuum cleaners for caravans, etc. and rated this one highly!
It’s a lot smaller than I thought but gosh it has a wonderful suction power. Enough to do a small car in one charge which lasts about 14 mins. A bit on the noise side if you ask me. Other than that a pretty happy purchase.
Pretty good little vacuum, bought it for the car, don’t expect it to do any major cleaning though, it’s not powerful enough to get anything up other than fine debris, just what I needed to keep the car from looking grubby and bitty, use my car a lot for my work so use the vacuum pretty regularly. But it’s no substitute for a regular corded vacuum.
Used for 3 cats spilling food and litter and fur around the house. Have a Henry but a bit heavy carting it around. Suction is impressive for a small hoover, batter last much longer than I thought it would.
Bought to replace another B & D which had been absolutely battered and gave up the ghost after at least 5 years use.The new one is even better, easy to use, cyclonic, easy to empty, good ergonomic design, houses the suction tube outside the case, holds the charge well to give approximately 20 mins cleaning time on full charge and great for cars, stairs, hard to reach corners etc.Recommended.
For suction I have not come across a better portable vacuum. The filters are easy to clean and you get about 15mins of good suction . Comes with 2 tools .. light and a handy long hose to get into.those hard to reach places Great buy
I needed something with great suction, not too heavy and always charged ready to go. This is perfect, used to supplement my regular vacuum it is great for small areas, spills and for the car. A great investment.
I was surprised by the very good suction,much better than I thought it would be,very easy to handle and clean,I would recommend it for the car and small household chores.

Needs to live on the charger as I don’t think the charge is that long, but suction is good for all the size of i
Useful machine that I keep in the workshop for spot cleaning. does its job well but battery life between charges isnt brilliant, but does seem to be improving. therefore only 4 stars
A worthwhile investment, this is the second one I’ve bought, mainly to keep my car clean. The only disappointing thing with this hoover is the battery doesn’t last long enough to give my car a thorough clean, you must use a brush first to loosen the crumbs before Hoovering the car.
I’ve had 2 previous handheld hoovers which have been useless but really pleased with this one. Lightweight with excellent suction power and good tools too for pet hair and at a reasonable price. Only con is the battery doesn’t last long about 20 mins.

Greater suction power than any previous hand held small Hoover I have owned. Great detachable extending hose to reach all nooks and crannies. Easy emptying of collected debris and rubbish. Brilliant cleaning device for home and workshop.
This is a surprisingly good little machine – very handy indeed. Very good for stair cleaning & cleaning up small messy areas! It did the best so far of any hand-held machine on the car interior, possibly as good as my big machine, though the suction wasn’t quite enough to cope with every single long dog-hair, which is probably unsurprising.
All in all, a good buy.
This little vacuum is terrific. It’s light and powerful, and no cable makes it even better. Happy to recommend this, great value for great bit of kit.

Excellent little hoover and so easy to empty. Seems to have pretty good power and has no problem picking up cat litter! Have used in car with good results. Like that you have the hose so you can get in fiddly areas. Charge lasts long enough for my needs and I just shove on charge when light pops on. Don’t like leaving on charger as have had battery issues with previous (but different reputable brsnd) where just don’t hold it. This one does seem to cut off after charging so is probably fine!
This is light and handy, fairly powerful little vacuum. It doesn’t try to replace your main vacuum, but concentrates on being compact and handy – which it is. You might be considering what I originally bought – the more powerful version with a pole and floor attachment – and had to return it. The 18v with floor attachment (ie NOT this one) is possibly the first vacuum ever to have an extension pole onto which only one of the three attachments fits. NB You cannot put the brush or crevice tool onto the pole – only the floor thing. All that design, all that engineering – and then some loony groupthink nonsense in Black & Decker comes up with that as a plan. I even checked with them – and they confirmed that no, only the floor attachment fits on the pole. So, no, you can’t use the crevice tool on the pole to do edges of a room, for example. They could sort it for a 2p bit of plastic! So basically this is the one to get if you really just want a hand-held – cheaper and makes more sense.
This vacuum is built to last.
Easy to use and empty and much better than anything similar on the market.
Originally bought a Polti cordless which was rubbish then a Hoover brand handheld which lasted less than a week before falling apart.
This vacuum is perfect for cleaning down the side of chairs, up and down stairs and having ready to vacuum up any dry spills (or pet hair).
Can’t recommend it highly enough – and, I’m very hard to please!
Perfect little product for the car. Being in a flat this is perfect for my car as I cannot use a corded vacuum. It holds ample charge to do it all and yes its no Dyson but for the price point its hard to find a fault.
Overall I am happy. Nice for small jobs. Good suction. Great for hover a car or dust at home. The only thing I don’t like is the noise it’s very loud even its described as quiet. Battery last for for about 10mi
Versitile and lightweight. Good value. Very good attachment for carpet hairs and ingrained dirt. As noted by others, is rather noisy. A spare filter would be advisable. Emptying the dust is easy but can be a bit messy, just have to be careful.
I’m on my second one of these vacuums. The first one lasted for about 5 years. It is powerful, flexible, making it so easy use. It runs for an adequate time to clean up and charges up quite fast. It empties easily. I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy duty use but it’s great for around the house small cleaning work.
It’s great for a car or small area but not powerful enough for a house…
It looks great and being rechargeable makes it easy and light to carry abou
Love this, great for the edges and any small areas, suction is great, 2nd one I’ve had as my husband broke the button on the last one and then glued it so couldn’t switch it on after that I was lost without i
This is an excellent handheld, especially for the price (I paid 80). The research indicated the shark but some of the reviews and the size of the storage did not look great. This one is bang on, great suction and doesn’t need emptying every 10 minutes. Battery life is also very good.
This is my second purchase. The hoover is great and very useful for those odd little jobs that do not require a full-sized hoover. My only word of caution is that once the rechargeable battery starts to lose life they are not replaceable and effectively the hoover is a disposable item. Having said this the previous one lasted nearly three years with daily constant use so nothing to complain about really.
This is ideal for those tricky to get to places that our larger vacuum cleaner can’t get to. We had an old B&D dustbuster that was pretty useless – it didn’t hold charge for long and bits sucked up would fall out again when switched off. This new vacuum is in a different league entirely. Very happy with it.
Good light weight little Hoover perfect for cleaning it the ca
Have been using this model for many years now and have always found it ideal for in the home or in the car.. Battery lasts a few years before gradually needing charging more and more often. Still ok to use it but decided to invest in a new one. A great flexible cleaner and well made.
Good product works well.
Would recommend.
Use it for the car and a quick hoover around the house.
Bought in January 2020. Average usage: 2 times a week.
I use it to clean my clothes dryer, kitchen dirt and dust in the flat. Once I even used it to catch ants, but they survived inside and trust me, you don’t want to open it later to release that hord… Nope…
The vacuum is very handy. I like the idea with a flexible arm. Really handy: I can easily clean wherever and whatever I want. The best time was when I hoovered walls in my old flat before moving out. Can’t believe how dusty they can be (just don’t judge me! I wasn’t the only one living there).
Battery life -> one charge still lasts long enough to clean difficult to reach areas in my 50sqm flat (kitchen, behind radiators, chairs, etc)
This is a useful addition to any household .we purchased our first about six years ago,it is still going strong.The reasoning in having two of the same is to double the longevity of both items.Plus if our first model was ever to fail we already have its replacement.Their advantages over other products are the powerful lithium battery ,strong construction ,washable filter a good extension tube .Do not be tempted by cheaper brands. This one does what it says it will do Phil Lowe.
I just love this item. Use it for just about everything now and so had to buy this second one. The stairs are so easy to do now – no lugging up a heavy machine and trying to balance it half way up/down. Brilliant invention.
Great handheld hoover. Suction is powerful for my carpet + laminate flooring. I have 2 kids under 5yrs old and meal times can get a bit messy. This is perfect for a quick clean up without having to take the main corded hoover out. As it’s easy to use and lightweight even my 4 yr old loves to clean with this hoover whenever he sees a mess. I use this hoover for the stairs too and it makes my carpet nice and fluffy. Would recommend.
I’ve been so impressed with this, that both my son and daughter have them for their cars. The best lightweight handheld that I have owned.
I previously had a Dyson and whilst the suction may have been better, the battery life was poor and the price exorbitant!
This is an excellent compact hoover. Suction is pretty great on this lightweight model.
This little machine is worth every penny and comes highly recommended. Good luck.
I do not receive any payment or free goods for writing these reviews. I am just happy to share my views on my purchases with fellow like minded Amazonians in the hope that you may find it helpful.

I never write review but this time I have too I’m so happy! The suction is powerful it’s light it’s easily chargeable easily emptied easily cleaned and I live the design and the fact it’s so ergonomically makes sense! The only tiny downfall is that it is rather loud. Otherwise outstanding product!

Great for the stairs. Add the brush attachment and it’s fantastic for cleaning cutlery draw without taking out cutlery. Also great for vacuuming between banisters on the stairs.
A bit noisy. The noise seems stronger than the suction. Haven’t tried it in the car yet but narrow adaptor should get into those narrow gaps easy enough.
We got it to clean our caravan. Pretty good to be fair. But if you want 240v suction you eont get it.

Very handy for the smaller quick jobs, saves pulling out a big hoover but fairly noisy…….
Have had several handheld vacuums in the past – this is definitely the best. Charges well and has good suction. Love the hose for reaching up high and getting into nooks and crannies. Easy to empty.
We find this works well, but the charge doesn’t last long (20 mins)
I love this vacuum. It works really well and allows me to quickly vacuum up my work area. The filter does clog with dust after some use, and it affects the suction power. However, it can easily be removed and cleaned up, and can be made to last, instead of replacing it. I really like the little base station, just sit the vacuum on and it charges. Always ready to go when needed. Emptying it is nice and quick.
I struggle with the on/off switch, sometimes it sticks and it is hard to sort out one-handed
I had been looking for a while for a vacuum mainly for cleaning my car. I really liked the idea of a battery powered vacuum mainly for the convenience of not having to open the garage to get the mains powered vacuum out.
However, I was concerned the suction would not be good enough from a battery powered vacuum.
I purchased this vacuum and I have to say I am very impressed with it. The suction is surprisingly good for a battery powered machine. It is very convenient and does a good job of cleaning my car.
Love this little hoover! It has good suction! I’ve used it on the stairs and in the car. Not as good as getting your car valeted obviously so don’t expect it to get every little thing up. But I would recommend getting this! I had a little Vax one before and it’s loads better than that one. Also, it cuts out when it needs charging which is great, my other one just sounded tired and the suction got really weak but didn’t cut out!! This one, you know when it’s done
Just the ticket for light cleaning of car interior. Nice soft brush attachment for dashboard and seats. Beats going to Asda and putting a quid in everytime.

Really like this handheld vacuum, light weight, good suction, quick charge. Our old Black + Decker charging power has issue and we have used it for years, found this model and has good reviews. Only drawback is the filter build up thick dust very soon, I need to clean the filter every other day. But overall, I give a 5 stars, very pleased.
This has a good strength of suck, is easy and compact to use although not very lightweight, and runs for a long time on a charge.
Great for car and general use with an simple and effective hose and clasp. Had for over a year and have bought a second for a gift as impressed.
Easy to empty and remember to wash filter once in a while..it helps a lot!
Having tried a variety of hand held vacuum cleaners this is easily the best. The extending hose is light and manoeuvrable whilst the light weight body can be held in the other hand. This means that it is not tiering to use. I now have three placed in my home and RV would be without one!
V Easy and light to hold and use. Especially strong suction due to massive 18v power. Easy to charge in little tray. Empties easily by opening door. I have given one to my mum (I was that impressed) and she does the edges and stairs with it and is equally happy with it. When u want to fully clean it you can easily lift bits out wash and dry and put bag together…quite simple.
I have it now for over a year and it Works really well, much better than any other handheld vacuum cleaner I had before. Suction is really great, though depending on what you are cleaning, the filter can clog up Fairly quickly. It’s easy to clean the filter and empty the dust compartment, so no real problem. I really like it and found that I use it much more than the others before. The extendable hose is useful, especially on stairs and with cobwebs on the ceiling. I would definitely recommend it!
Fantastic little hoover! Bought it to clean the car and the stairs. I am very impressed at its performance. I wouldn’t buy any less than the 18V version as its suction will be poor.
Pros – Very small and lightweight, impressive suction for its size, looks modern and great, i like the charging dock too. Ideal for hoovering the car and stairs at home. Also great for cobwebs on the ceiling as well as quick little once overs of a room.
Cons – Takes approx 4 hours to charge from completely flat, has a run time of approximately 20 minutes, could have more accessories.
It’s a brilliant product. Very powerful and lightweight, very well designed for its purpose. I like the fact that you place it on its base to charge and you don’t have to unplug it each time you use it. Also, a light goes off when it’s fully charged, which isn’t the case for other similar products. Competitive price too, I highly recommend it. I just hope that it lasts long!
I wish that I’d purchased this cordless vacuum a long time ago.
In the past I’ve bought two other ‘equivalent’ and slightly cheaper hand-held vacuums (for car and home) and this one is by far the best product I’ve encountered so far.
The power is good, the suction is powerful and it works just as promised. This product does precisely what it says on the box.
Excellent. I recommend this product without reservation.
Was really unsure which handheld vacuum to purchase as so many had contradicting reviews, but finally went for this one and I am quite impressed. It is lightweight, with quite a powerful suction. As long as you are realistic and do not expect it to be as powerful as a full-sized vacuum, it is ideal for its purpose. Don’t let your puppy chew the charging base wire behind your back though – a replacement base is about 40! 🙂
Really good suction,easy to use and the short flexible hose comes in very handy to reach difficult areas. It’s OK on stairs but a roller attachment would make it even better. It’s quite easy to empty and clean also.
Very good value for money
As this vacuum saves me 5 minutes unpacking and packing 10 meters of extension lead and lugging heavy house vac it get 5 stars easy. Easy to use within a car, lighter than a house vacuum and gets to spots other vacuums just don’t.
In detail
The vacuum isn’t that strong, and get significantly weaker if the filter is clogged up even with fairly light use, but the cars seem to accumulate fine dust. I find I wash the filter every 3rd or 4th time I use it and I use a brush the other times. The attachment allow for cleaning the carpets and getting to some hard to reach places e.g. front foot wells. The hose help manipulate the vacuum head while cleaning and really where this tool is the best for car use. While B&D do a car version of this vac you have to plug it into the cigarette lighter, which didn’t appeal to me, plus I don’t have a boot power socket.
I only use the vacuum for carpets and upholstery, rubber mats. I never use it on exposed plastic or paint, a wet cloth would be better. I have never needed to discharge the battery cleaning a car. I used it to clean two cars back to back, but to be fair the cars only need a quick once over. I use the vacuum very occasionally around the house for light use, where dragging a large hover out is over kill.
The vacuum isn’t that powerful. I pick up heavy items or take the mats out first and just pat them down. The price yo yos from 60 to 100 gbp, I paid 75 from Amazon warehouse and I felt it was a little overpriced, I see it is currently 99 which is OTT.
I expect the next generation of this vac to have the following:
Better suction, the attachments needs to get into hard to reach place like in between front seat and hand brake. A better designed filter. Fractionally lighter. An attachment that can get fine needle leaves out of the carpet. The curved plastic handle on the hose makes it a little difficult to get angle in some places, but is perfect 90% of time. It needs to be fair price and a slightly better quality.
It is a lot louder, not quite as powerful but I don’t think there’s much in it in the power stakes.
We like:
The flexi hose, brilliant for getting under car seats etc.
The compact size, it’s also quite light.
We Don’t like:
The noise. It is a lot louder than the Dyson.
Too early to tell battery life but so far so good. As a much cheaper alternative to the Dyson products, I’d certainly recommend the B&D. Pound for pound I think this is better value.
My new favourite gadget for the home. Brilliant for the car and stairs and bits of dog biscuits etc.
Good suction even long hair is sucked up. Easy to store and charge up. Discreetly sits tucked away. Very easy to use and empty contents.
So easy to use the children clean their own rooms!!!!!

This is a cracking little hoover. Ideal for the car or the house for small jobs, in particular were access is limited. My daughter bought the product first and I followed suit as she had spoken so highly of its efficiency. Excellent product and one that I would highly recommend as it does everything that I would use it for.
I have had this hoover for over 2 years . Never had a problem with it . I have just bought another one because I managed to drop it and the door came completely off the hinges this time , (as it has been dropped many times previously ) , just unlucky . Never had to replace the filter , no issues . Well worth the money .
I’ve had an original Dustbuster for years but needed something a bit more powerful to clean up wood pellet cat litter and other bits and pieces on the floor and have found this vacuum it to be excellent, although it struggles to pick up cat hair. It is quite noisy but doesn’t seem to freak out the cats!!! The wrap around hose is very useful and I now find myself ‘hoovering’ all sorts of surfaces and it’s great for the car. It’s small, neat and very handy and so far I’m very impressed.
Pros:
Very versatile handheld vacuum
Powerful suction
Flexible hose makes it easy
Emptying and charging are very easy.
Cons:
None really; to say the battery is not enough is not fair to the handheld. Its ease of use makes it a quick vacuum where you just dont need to take out the big hoover.
Update: owned it since 2018 it’s now 2021 the battery pack has started to give up but the machine and filter remain fine and it’s been used pretty much every day for the last three years. Never really bought Black and Decker. But I’d heard good things about this. It’s brilliant kit, kids make a mess this comes straight out and good for the car, the changing trap is rubbish tho way to thin and the holder for the attachments is rubbish. But the vacuum is really good! Would be a five if the holder was better.
