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. |

Nice powerful hoove
Good product works well.
Would recommend.
Use it for the car and a quick hoover around the house.
Worth every penny
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)

A true sucker for punishment!
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.

Lightweight and so useful
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.
Absolutely Grea
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.

Used a few times now in my car. Battery lasts well and has plenty of suction. Really good little vacuum
Brilliant little vacuum, well worth the money
Read all the reviews, this one was around 30 more expensive than other makes but had the suction power I was looking for.
Brilliant bit of kit and means I can vacuum the dining table easily and also the cold ash around the fireplace.
Definitely recommend, makes cleaning actually enjoyable.
Its nice and lightweight and the brush attachment which slides up or down means no scratches on hard surfaces.
Have also used to vacuum bits on the carpet and works absolutely fine.
Cuts out after 15 mins of solid use though but that’s fine, you’ll be done in 5!
2yrs and Still Going Strong- Highly Recommended
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.

Best hand hoover ever!!!!!
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 kitchen draws and stairs
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.

ot bad for a battery vacuum cleaner.
We got it to clean our caravan. Pretty good to be fair. But if you want 240v suction you eont get it.

Works really well for what I wanted it for....
Very handy for the smaller quick jobs, saves pulling out a big hoover but fairly noisy…….
Very good machine
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.

Good suction, short charge life
We find this works well, but the charge doesn’t last long (20 mins)
Excelle
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 like – it’s suction power, decent life between charges, moderately easy to clean.
I struggle with the on/off switch, sometimes it sticks and it is hard to sort out one-handed
Very Convenient Vacuum
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.

It Sucks!! (In a good way)
Looking for a handheld after the last “highly rated on Amazon” item was a pile of poo. This is really good, really sucky! Quite loud and not the lightest of items, but first trial I was very happy. Even deals with some fur.
Get this hoover!
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

Enough power to be useful
Generally, hand held cleaners don’t have enough power to do a good job. This one is relatively efficient and thus worth buying if you have a job that needs a hand held machine.
Works very well.
I use this for small floor areas which need a quick clean in addition to being ideal for the stairs. It’s also is very useful for cleaning the car, one charge being sufficient for the whole interior.
Not bad at all
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.

This is the third mini vacuum that I have had and by far the best yet. Its suction power is almost the same as the Dyson that I had before but its battery lasts about 3 times longer. I got 19 minutes of vacuuming which was enough to do the skirting board tops, book shelves, desks and ceiling cobwebs in the 2 bedrooms and also the floor and seats in my car. The removable handle and suction hose is the feature that makes this vacuum really stand out from the others that I have had. Makes reaching under seats, up to high up spots and down behind things much easier than with any other mini vacuum where the entire vacuum has to be poked into every space. This one can also be used one handed for the skirtings and other places where you don’t need to use the hose. Not too heavy and holds enough dirt that you don’t have to empty it mid cleaning session.
Superb
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.
Powerful and easy to use.
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!
This is not a bad little vacuum. I bought it to keep in the garage as a car vac. Whilst it is not as powerful as the old Dyson it replaced , it still does a reasonable job. For a serious clean out though it doesn’t compare against a mains fed vacuum.

Good running life, light to use.
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!
Good for the car and a quick clean-up, if rather noisy
It’s easy to carry around and great for taking out to the car for a quick vacuum. Also good that it is left on a charging base when not in use, so always ready to go. The noise is quite harsh, but you get used to it. The suction is OK, not brilliant. Overall recommended, especially as it was on an Amazon Warehouse deal.
Compact and easy to use.
This handheld vacuum cleaner is pretty much perfect for what it is. I’m very happy with it apart from one minor thing. The on/off switch can be a little tough once the container is taken off to clean and replaced. After that, it doesn’t seem to quite fit properly within the switching area, which coincides with the container, so some force is often required. But apart from that, no regrets in buying it at all.
Top class produc
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.
Great little gadget - works really well!
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!

Perfect for the car and stairs at home
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.

Excellent produc
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!

Good suctio
I was concerned about buying this vacuum for the price, based on previous experiences of handheld vacuums, they never seem to be that efficient. However, I am very pleased with this vacuum and I am pleased I took the risk. I use it for my car mostly and it tackles stones, dirt and pine needles well.
Exceptional
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.
Would recommend to anyone. Worth the price
I would recommend this handheld vacuum to anyone. Very lightweight and the hose extension is the perfect addition. The hose extension is the selling point to this vacuum. Makes vacuuming a lot easier with not being trapped by a fixed pivot. Cleaned my car beautifully too. The extra attachments are also a great addition but i only personally use the long nose one.
Powerful for its size
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! 🙂
Best car vacuum cleaner.
Received in good time, charge took about 4 hrs , when i used on car , which will be primarily its main use, it cleaned perfectly, best car cleaner vacuum ive brought. , power is plenty, its a bit loud nbut i don’t mind
Forget the rest, buy the best.
It is still early days yet as we only bought this a month or so ago, but first impressions is that it is leagues ahead of every other hand held cordless vac we have ever owned. We have every confidence that this sturdy little unit will serve us long and serve us well.
Very strong suctio
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
After spending what felt like forever reading up about the best handheld hovers I bought this hoover over 2 months ago and love it. It’s fantastic for hoovering the car and picking up little bits around the house. The small nozzle along with the hose makes it really easy to reach stubborn places. Suction is great and battery lasts me a good 40 minutes, I generally charge it once a week but don’t tend to use it every day.
In Brief
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.
I love this little vacuum. So easy to use. Great for the car too. Empties really quickly and gets into those tricky corners. Works at full power until the battery life is exhausted so no gradual loss of suction. Charges in four hours, but that’s no hassle.

This is a pretty good small handheld. We previously had a Dyson DC34. The Dyson was falling apart after a few years ownership, the cost of replacement parts (including a new battery) would have been more than this product.
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.

Easy and effective to use
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!!!!!

I have had several handheld chargeable vacuums but they were all noise and no suction. I decided to spend a little more and get a renowned brand and it paid off. This vacuum is LOUD but it works. If you use it for getting crumbs, dust-balls, hairs and other small bits, it works perfectly fine. The suction is strong enough to pull stuff an inch away into the vacuum. Emptying the container is super easy. You do need to use two hands for this vacuum but have not found that to be an inconvenience. The design is uber cool. All in all its a good vacuum that does a job. Just don’t use it to vacuum an entire floor or house, that’s not its purpose.
Full of energy and suction.
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.
brilliant hoove
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 .
Been amazing as a car cleane
I’ve had this hoover for about 2 years.
I use it mostly for cleaning the interior of my car.
It’s strong enough to pick up the mud off my carpet/seats.
The battery life is about 30 mins.
To maintain the suction, keep the filter clean with an air duster.
I’ve only had to replace the 8 filter 2 or 3 times.
Great little vacuum
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.
For the discounted price I paid at the time, this turned out to be a fantastic purchase. For my small bedroom and hard to reach places, it does fantatic work. The one thing I must say, is that with any vacuum cleaner, the key to it working properly is in the name. You gotta keet IT clean. This vacuum is very well designed for disassembly to clean out all the filters. If you do this weekly, or even monthly, It’s power stays optimum. As a product designer myself, I really appreciate the effort to design this disassembly process for everyone. The space provided where the flex tube connects to the chamber can cause blockages, if there were some internal structure to catch larger particulates, that would help out. Power can always be better with all vacuum cleaners, but if emptied regularly, it usually is fine. Battery can die suddenly, a warning indicatior or battery pwoer indicator would be nice. I would buy another of the same design if they produced a larger capacity/ stronger motor.

I went with this one after reading reviews on handhelds for a long time. I know that when coming to a handheld, battery life vs power is the key. You want a strong handheld, and this definitely delivers. It’s flexible hose makes it really easy to use, and charging it is very simple, just place it in the charging dock very simply and away it charges. Battery is about 15-20 minutes total use. For things like the car, quick spills, the stairs, its excellent. The range of nozzles makes it even easier to use as well.
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.
I went with this one after reading reviews on handhelds for a long time. I know that when coming to a handheld, battery life vs power is the key. You want a strong handheld, and this definitely delivers.

Not bad for a small vacuum with 2021 update.
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.

Easy to store compact gadge
Good suction , nice handy gadget . Its best to buy second filter so you can rinse them out regularly to maintain good suction. Could be even better if it had a more pointy tool then you could use it on small items e.g.. cleaning keyboards. Battery life satisfactory so far but not had it long .
Perfect for cleaning the car, it has really good suction, a long hose and useful attachments. Only downside is the battery life (about 10mins) and it takes hours to charge. Having said that i would recommend this hand vac.

Reasonable suction for a hand-held device
Like: nice easy-to use item. Emptying is easy and straightforward.
I’ve used it for fairly heavy jobs like picking up lots of dog hairs, cleaning out the car (rural!) etc. and its been OK.
The only thing I dislike, no, two things. Firstly the “on/off” switch is a bit stiff, you cannot switch the machine on with one hand (I can’t anyway); also the brush/suction attachment broke very easily and I’ve had to order a replacement.
Other than that a good durable device which does what it says on the tin.
Would I buy again?? Probably……….
Nice mini vac, good for cat hairs. I actually bought this last year and it stopped working just before I’d had it a year. Amazon sent me a replacement no questions asked.
The only complaint is that it’s a bit too noisy

Bought this item for my driving school car. For convieance and avoiding having to bring the house hover into the driveway with an extension cable especially coming into winter.
Very dubious about which vaccume to buy as I didn’t want to spend “Dyson” level of money and didn’t want to go down the single hand vacuume.
So the battery last about 20/25 minutes. First time I used this hadn’t cleaned the car in about three weeks, so lots of ground in dirt, stones, crumbs from the occasional sandwhich while working.
Wasn’t expecting to lift alot of the ground in items but was very surprised how much it did pick up. Didn’t get everything but way more than I thought given the condition and time since the last hoovering, didn’t get the car cleaned in one go went through two charges,but again due to volume of what was there.
I’ve changed my cleaning routine so give it a quick hover at the end of the day, taking less than 5 mins and can almost clean the car for the full week on one charge.
This won’t give you heavy duty cleaning but very good for this level of use. If you are looking for the once every couple of months car clean might not be for you.
Never used it in the house again regular cleaning would be serviceable for a quick once over but you would be emptying the hover a lot and probably not have a full house clean in a single charge.
This should be the common design for handheld vacuum cleaners!
Have been using it for three months now. This is a superb product. It’s the kind of product that makes you think why all other portable vacuum cleaners shouldn’t be like this. Here are my views:
Pros:
– The trunk makes life so easy. Can reach everywhere with precision.
– Good suction, does the job.
– The length of trunk allows you to easily reach corners and tight spaces that you normally cannot.
– Easy on your back, as a result as you can reach more without bending too much.
– Perfect for cleaning staircases. Previously had to drag a Henry up the stairs, holding the base with one hand, holding the trunk with the other, doing some acrobatics in between not to fall just to get the stairs clean; not to mention the cable running all over, things getting twisted up and all that. Now with this, it’s basically walk in the park; too easy. The brush is perfect for this.
Cons
– There are two attachments, one long and one short with a brush. Both very useful, but only one spot is provided on the base for storage. It makes sense for there to be two. So that they can both be stored on the device in a nice and tidy way. Not a big deal, but nice to have.
-Screeching loud noise, but would rather have a good suction than a quieter one. So it’s ok.
Very happy.
My take on this is, if your expectations are realistic about what performance you are going to get out of a portable wireless hoover at this price point then you will be very happy. If you are expecting dyson or Henry power then that’s obviously unrealistic. Hoovered my car, sofas, baby play areas, mosquitos (lol) perfectly. The design is very good and ergonomic. It’s made hoovering fun actually and easier then getting the dyson out for small tasks. Very happy.

This thing is all about ease of use rather than out and out power, if you want a proper sucker you need to go corded. Having said that it removes 90% of the rubbish my Henry manages, (that’s a machine, not a butler) you simply have to go over the area a little more.
It’s very light, dead easy to carry and has a great 1.5m flex which means that, when cleaning a car, you plonk it on a seat while you work.
I can’t speak for its durability; I’ve only had it a day, but it’s 95% plastic so I assume it won’t last a lifetime, but hey, I’m 62 so you never know…
I was surprised by just how small this is. It’s very compact and I like how well it all clips together in a neat little bundle for charging and storing.
It’s small, so I’m not expecting massive amounts of suction. But it’s pretty reasonable in my opinion. I bought this primarily for cleaning my car’s interior which collects a lot of soil and grit — and whilst it wasn’t spotless, it did a great job. The fact that it’s got a flexible hose and different nozzle attachments helps a lot too. I also use for little jobs in the house, including the stairs, which are usually a bit tedious to do with my usual upright vacuum.
It was the cheapest vacuum, but it was no where near the most expensive either. I’m sure the Dyson is super-powerful, but it’s a bit bigger and more than three times the price. So I’m satisfied on the value for money grounds.
My 5yo son was fascinated with this vacuum and he can easily carry it — so added benefit here is that it allows children to assist with the household chores!!
I absolutely love this hoover! It is obviously not as powerful as a more expensive or upright hoover product but for the money almost indispensable for me. The design with the extending hose means it is much more versatile than others and so light!. It actually can be pulled along like an upright Henry type hoover. The brush part has enabled me to AT LAST to find an effective,quick and dust-free way to clean my wrought iron banisters. With the brush out it also dusts every surface, nook and cranny in the house. This time of year means that window sills are constantly littered with dead flies but this vacuum quickly sucks them all up; plus the odd spider or wood louse etc.

Brilliant little hoover that is greeting pat hairs off the sofa! Good battery life, light weight and good suction. The only niggle is with the brush attachment, it’s floppy… ok if brushing in one direction gently, but if you changed direction it collapses, I don’t understand why it’s hinged??? Other than that good price, good suction it does what I need it to do that is remove dogs hairs from cushions, sofa, car! Using it daily, it’s also great in the kitchen for dry spills! Oh and the dog loves being hoovered by it! When he hears it or sees me luck it up, I have to hoover him then the furniture/spill
Grea
Great size. Perfect for leaving on a kitchen worktop. It’s easy to use and easy to empty. I like the nozzle with the brush that swivels in to place.
I would have liked a little bit more suction if I’m honest. It’s good for crumbs but struggles with fine dust.
Great, useful little vacuum cleane
A great, useful little vacuum cleaner. Very neat and handy for around the house and in the car. Only two small downsides so far – it’s noisy and the charging unit is quite flimsy so you have to check that the blue charging light is on; also the crevice nozzle falls off the charging unit. Otherwise, though, it’s great value and a very sturdy and powerful device to have around the house.
Loved the model so much we bought another!
As we live full-time in our motor home we needed a battery powered vacuum that could actually perform AND survive being used almost every day, and Black & Decker have not disappointed. It’s surprisingly powerful for a handheld (loud!) and packs down very cleverly from a comfortably useable arrangement into a compact shape perfect for hiding in a space with limited storage. The filter clogs up quite quickly after around 4 or 5 uses (but then we do have a woodburner with spilt ash etc to clean around) but is easy to get at and knock clean which brings us back to full power right away. In fact we loved the old model so much we bought this (new and improved) one to replace it when it finally gave out after a good 4 years of abuse!
Having tried 2 or 3 of these small hand held vacuums with disappointing low vacuum suction, poor dust filtering and abysmal battery power duration, I am glad to say I’ve struck lucky at last. OK, it’s a little bit more expensive but quality comes at a price. I bought it specifically to vacuum the car and it does that rather well. Emptying the dust receptor is a dream, simplicity itself. I’m rather pleased with my buy thus far.
Great suction, so easy to empty.
I’m so glad I bought this. I keep it upstairs to clear cat litter before it gets spread too far round the house, but it’s handy for the stairs too. Easy to charge, easy to use, really easy to empty. Doesn’t require cleaning after every use like the cheaper Hoover one I bought. Great suction too! If anything it’s slightly heavy, but much lighter than carrying the big dyson upstairs!
Looks pretty good for a cleaner; it performs well; charges nicely; keeps charge for a decent time; extended hose is great for reaching into awkward places. Great buy. Just one star removed as I’m always looking for a bit more suction.
