A great little portable cleane
Not the most powerful suction ever, but for its size it does the job perfectly. Ideal for staircase and, especially, the car. Easy to use, gets into all the books and crannies. One charge lasts well and recharging is easy and pretty quick.

This little vacuum cleaner is way better than I anticipated
This little vacuum cleaner is way better than I anticipated. Often theses battery operated ones just don’t seem to be powerful enough.
But I cleaned my car inside and I was impressed on its performance. My car mats and seats were completely clean after about 10-15 minutes of use and no signs of the cleaner running out of charge.
It’s easy to empty and clean, charges quite quickly and has an impressive amount of suction. The extendable nozzle is also really useful.
My criticism would be the charging stand that’s a little awkward to get in the right position for the connection, and the cleaner is quite noisy.
I would still easily recommend it.
Love this vacuum
I have been looking for a cordless vacuum for some time, and came across this one whilst I was trawling through the many many internet suggestions for the best cordless. I am really happy with my purchase, it has a long battery life and is great to empty, no need to touch the dirt. Only negative is it is not the most powerful suction in the world…
Very decent wee cordless, great for a bit of shelf dust busting or awkward corners. Good suction, get 2 filters and rotate them as they clog up pretty quick. You only get 10/15 minutes but for my purposes that’s all I need, big hoover does the donkey work, this wee one does the tight spots and quick cleans.
Happy so fa
Bought for my partner. She’s seems very happy with it. Especially that you can see the bits spinning around in it. I’ve used it a couple of times so far. Suction seemed perfectly reasonable for what it is. It isn’t small but at the same time having the length of hose is very handy. Can’t comment on reliability because we’ve only had it for a few weeks.
I was going to go for the trusted Dyson brand/ option but this was by far a cheaper alternative and I have to say that it was a excellent decision to go for this than a Dyson. Essentially both would do the same job but having spoke to a friend who has a handheld Dyson, he said the battery life isn’t that great in it.
Having only had this for less than a month, the charge (I believe) when charged fully will give you around 20-30mins powerful vacuuming before the suction dies down. The suction is superb for a handheld vacuum.
The vacuum itself isn’t heavy at all and small enough to go round the hard to reach spaces in a car in which I primarily bought it for.
However it’s a bit on the loud side and the switch on button is a bit cumbersome, but the two negatives don’t outweigh the positives for me, and as such I wouldn’t hesitate in giving it five stars and singing it’s praises to anyone who would be interested in buying one.
As I say though as it's the only cordless vacuum of this design with a proper hose it's still very useful for me
This is exactly what I needed for work, so for that reason it gets 4 stars because it’s really saved me some time and hassle everyday. However my only complaints are that for 18v li-ion I would have expected it to be slightly more powerful and also if you don’t charge it regularly it quickly loses charge while not being used. As I say though as it’s the only cordless vacuum of this design with a proper hose it’s still very useful for me
Versatile Cordless Vac
Bought this mainly for cleaning out the car and I’m very happy with it. Saves getting the house vac and an extension cable out every time. There is plenty of suction and the flexible hose and crevice tool can get into all the places that would be awkward with a fixed nozzle vac. I’ve never run the battery down and it seems to recharge quite quickly on the base unit and turns itself off when full. Emptying it is also very easy. These seem to be available in several different voltages but the 18 volt version is enough for what I need.
We are very pleased with this small handy rechargeable vacuum. It was easy to set up and ideal for small clean up jobs. I particularly like that the hose can be unclipped to provide a longer reach. It is easy to empty as well.
dece
As other reviewers have said, not the strongest suction in the world, but definitely good enough for all the little jobs about the house and the car. Light and convenient. All in all, worth the small effort of going over carpet hairy bits of car and few times, and things are definitely kept less dusty and more clean with this in the house as who can be bothered to get the big hoover out all the time? Others have noted the plasticy base, which is true, but still worth it for the price — better than cheaper handheld products.
I purchased this to use on my stairs. I live in a three storey house and found trying to do the stairs with the vacuum clean awkward and tiring.
This has brilliant suction power, is lightweight and easy to use, and now doing the stairs is a doddle. I also find myself using this for other areas of the house when getting the big vacuum cleaner out isn’t really needed.
Why pay 200+ for a dyson, this is better!
This is a great cleaner. The removable hose is really intuative meaning that you can use it either one handed like a traditional dust buster, or you can detatch the hose and use it two handed to get into difficult places. The brush attachment it comes with is also really innovative.
Its very powerful suction and I did the whole car including boot without any issues so the battery life is good enough for what I wanted. Its really easy to empty the dust too.
I’m really happy with this purchase.
So handy and powerful!
Really good vacuum has more than enough suction and battery life is really good. I easily hoovered out the whole car and had charge left over. The small design made it so easy to hold in one hand whilst hoovering all the tiny spaces – perfect for the car and we have also kept it on the side to hoover up the odd pile of crumbs, mud from shoes etc.
Good suction and easy neat storage
Dinky piece of kit! Fab for getting up pet hair. Charge seems to last long enough to do the job in hand roughly 10mins but re charges quickly too. Only downside is the noise but I haven’t heard other similar ones so can’t really compare, but is quite loud. Good suction and easy neat storage, all in all happy with it.
Excellent little vacuum cleane
Excellent little vacuum cleaner! I have had it for 18 months now and use it every day to clean up after my kittens. The pet hair attachment works really well on the sofa and the cat tree etc, even on clothes. I bought it because it is so light. Although the suction is much less strong than on my upright vacuum it sucks up everything just fine. It is easy to empty and it has worked perfectly every day. I am very happy with my purchase.

I own two extremely hairy dogs. They only need to brush against you and you’re all but covered in hair.
Cleaning my car has become a terrible problem and only after a few days it feels like i’m driving in some kind of disgusting dog’s nest.
In the past I had paid someone to clean the car, (as well as use my own vacuum when it was possible).
I now live on a main road where I am unable to park the car any where near the house, thus eliminating the option of using my own vacuum.
The vacuums in the petrol stations are ok, but they can really add up when you have a filthy car. I’m loathe to pay someone to clean it as they always charge a surcharge because it was so hairy.
Did a lot of research and bought this vacuum. After its initial charge (which didn’t take that long as it seemed to already have some charge in it) I gave it a road test.
Oh my goodness is it normal to love a vacuum cleaner?!!! I seriously love this thing.
The suction is just as good as my house vacuum (a rather old miele). On one charge I managed to do the entire front of the car, (including the 2 front mats), the back of the front seats, most of the back seats and most of the parcel shelf. Just the floor and back mats to do which I will do after it has finished charging. I really didn’t think it would manage the mats but it cleaned them better and faster than I would have managed with the main vacuum. Considering it was so hairy I am seriously impressed with this little thing. The rubber pet attachment is brilliant and really makes quick work of getting rid of stubborn pet hair.
I will also use this for my sofa, saving me a fortune in lint roller paper too im sure!
I will no longer need to feel embarrassed about giving someone a lift in the car, or have to fork out a fortune for someone else to clean it. So so happy with this.
Portable dust eate
Having now used this for a year I can say it is a pretty useful, little unit. Having been disappointed in the past with portable “vacuums” I bought this at a price discount that allowed for the risk of another disappointment. I haven’t been disappointed. It picks up stuff, seems to tolerate being quite full with out losing suction. I like the fact it comes apart to thoroughly wash out the compartment and filter.

ordered & delivered in 2 days..4 hr charge,,& away I went,,,marvellous suction,,easy to handle,,nozzle gets into awkward places..cleaned out my car to a high standard in 10 mins flat,,easy to empty..well worth the money..would recommend this well made product to anyone..well done b&d
Impressive cleaning for such a little hand held cleaner.
We really love this little gem of a cordless cleaner. The suction is very efficient for this type of cleaner and it holds its charge for a long time, enough to clean the stairs and tiled floors in kitchen, bathroom, etc, and a good clean of the car. We just cannot fault this Black and Decker and although on the expensive side compared to others we are sure we have not wasted our money. Would highly recommend this Black and Decker Lithium Flexi Vacuum.
A good buy
I was put off at first glance because it seemed an odd shape but, having done research and read umpteen reviews and recommendations for various handheld vacuums, this one seemed to be most versatile and had enough power to actually be useful (unlike some of the cheaper, smaller ones). I have not been disappointed and thoroughly recommend it.

Good Buy
Very happy with this for usage in minor spills of seeds and general debris. l have very long hair and it is efficient in picking this up as there are no brushes for it to wind around. Sounds as if it means ‘business’ on start up not the usual whine of smaller machines. Could do with a wide mouthed tool attachment to made it that bit more versatile hence the 4 stars.
Brilliant product, powerful
Brilliant product, powerful, battery lasts well, amazing value for money and the hose makes it really easy to use in corners and out of the way places eg back of the car that Dyson products can’t get into. Anytime there is a need to pick up bits and pieces in small area, we grab this beauty and clean it up way before I have plugged in the Dyson vacuum cleaner. It picks up more things than the Dyson floor head (especially as you cant use the rotating brush on loop pile carpets without causing damage to the pile – Dyson don’t tell you that in their product literature by the way, that machine ruined my carpets and Dyson took no interest in my explanations).
Black & Decker mini vac
Handy little battery operated vacuum cleaner, ideal for car / stair edges / furniture. Charges quickly via the base plate to give around 20 min of cleaning time before the battery fully discharges. Battery status is indicated by a blue LED on the side of the unit. Decent suction, and dirt is collected in the central plastic container, which is easy to open to empty and clip closed again. The central housing twists to remove the filter for replacing or cleaning (buy a spare so that you always have one clean and dry while the other is in for washing).
The supplied crevice tool works well, and you can either use the cleaner configured as in the picture, or unclip the hose from around the cleaner to give more range – the unit sits neatly on your car seat while cleaning, or is light enough to hold in use. Unfortunately the other nozzle supplied (with folding brush) is not very good at all, and I have quickly replaced it with a generic 32mm round brush head (a fiver here on Amazon) that works much better.
So in summary, a great little vacuum but the tools could be better.
I’m finding this vacuum useful for jobs such as cleaning the car where starting to faff around with extension leads etc can make things more complicated than they need to be. Moving on to the vacuum itself, in use the suction is reasonably good, but I wouldn’t call it impressive — rated at 1700 watts I was expecting it to lift anything that wasn’t nailed to the floor; in reality it has nowhere near the suction power of a mains powered vacuum. The supplied tools seem up to the job, however, as another reviewer mentioned the ‘bristles’ on the flip out brush won’t stand up to extended use as several are deformed and facing the wrong way after only a few uses. I haven’t timed the endurance from first switching on until the battery is exhausted, but it has been more than good enough to cover a mucky car interior with lots of dog hairs thrown in without any sign that the battery was running down. One thing to note is that it’s very noisy, so e.g. starting on the car at 8am on a Saturday morning may leave you in the doghouse with the neighbours. Lastly, the price — I got this model for 70; I have noticed the price bouncing around, sometimes as high as 129. I’d suggest that 70 is a reasonable asking price; I wouldn’t be prepared to pay much more for an item which is adequate, but not particularly special.

It’s used often and picks up dust for fun, superb product which is easily transportable for use in the car.
The only reason why it doesn’t get 5* is because the charger is rather flimsy and broke easily so we had to contact B&D and get a new charger for this which probably costs 20p to make yet we were charged 26
but the bags literally explode when sucking up fine dust from sanding
Ideal for small jobs, Has enough charge to clean a car and that’s its main purpose for me. I also use it to clean up after DIY jobs. We also have a high powered vacuum, but the bags literally explode when sucking up fine dust from sanding. This vacuum has no such problems and the filter is easy to take out and clean, ready for the next job.
My all means, you can’t compare the power from a portable to a mains powered vacuum as my wife does, but for me, it does a great job.
I’ve been using it for a year now without any problems.

Absolutely fantastic – I have cats and let me tell you they get fur on absolutely everything, especially sofas! The pet tool on this is kind of rubbery and gets the hair up without any issue at all, I was genuinely shocked! Previously we used a fine tooth cat tool to rake at the sofas but this would damage the sofa over time, now we have this we will never look back again.
As a small vacuum, it is great! As a pet owner it has actually improved the quality of our home! No more getting covered in fur!

I’ve never written a review for a vacuum before but this is simply fantastic. I live in a small place with a cat that produces an unreal amount of hair that has, until now, been impossible to get off my surfaces. This teeny tiny hoover has an amazing power and has managed to get all the hair off my rugs. An excellent buy and would highly recommend

Great little vacuum!
Great compact cleaner, lightweight and mobile. Easy to use and empty. I ordered this as needed something other than big dyson to clean stairs and car. It’s great, pretty impressed! Good for skirting and also using it for cleaning up high, so light and hose long enough so it’s easy peasy.
Love this vacuum, small, powerful and very handy. I use it mainly for cleaning the car, so it needs great suction power, which soooo many handheld cleaners are lacking and excellent flexibility. I was looking at the dyson animal, but it so overpriced, and to be honest this vacuum is not far off in power terms and at a fraction of the price. It is so handy and compact it sits on its charging stand, you can just leave it there as it switch off charging when fully powered up, and is used around the house when the larger vacuum is not really needed. The charge lasts so long I have never run out of charge whilst using consistently for 40 minutes.
Brilliant!
Did wonder about buying this as not cheap and would it do the job. So glad I did as haven’t stopped using it since arrived! Great for carrying round the house doing all the corners, easy to do stairs as I struggle to carry the large vacuum. Have a conservatory and lots of dead insects at this time of year, quick whizz with this in a morning and sorted. Have cleaned inside drawers and cupboards and great for car too. Sits nicely on the base for charging and doesn’t take up much room. Would definitely recommend.
Worth Every Penny
I have found the suction on this little vac quite powerful for its size and, in my opinion, the flexible hose makes it much more versatile than the all-in-one fixed type of hand vac enabling easy access to narrow spaces whether in the car or in the house. It sits neatly on the recharging base and is instantly available for use to pick up any crumbs or pet fur, so much easier than getting out the larger floor vac. Thoroughly recommended and well worth the five stars.
Great vacuum for the ca
Great hand-held vacuum.
Good for hovering the car out, or picking up small areas of dirt. Lasts a fair amount of time, but could last longer.
Adequate suction provided the dust/dirt is not ground in.
Overall this is easy to use, easy to clean and picks up most of the dust/dirt in the car which I clean it with.

Great, lightweight handheld vac
Well, I often become convinced that I MUST have something because it will make my life complete. That was the case with the B&D flexi vaccuum and, while I wouldn’t say my life was complete, it is much better in some aspects! I have back problems which mean that I can’t use our cylinder vac and rely on others to do so. Now I can just use this little beauty (in a sci-fi kind of way) to vac up the offending mess, often cat hair. The vac is light enough to use one-handed and suction is great. It’s easy to empty too. I’m very happy with my purchase so far and best of all I’ve found that my son will just pick it up and vac up odd bits without being asked!
Best item I have bought in years! This is amazing and well work the money. Lightweight to use and very powerful suction. The storage of the hose is great as it does not get in your road when you only have a small job to do yet it is easily released when needed. The charging plate is a design as it is surface mounted and there is no fighting with wall mounts which are always unreliable to get the vacuum attached.
Would definiately recommend this item – does a great job with hoovering the car as well.
Delighted with everything about this vacuum
We bought this Black & Decker vacuum cleaner for our new motor home after researching many other cordless vacuums on line. We are absolutely delighted with it and feel we made the perfect choice. For the quality it was a good price. We love the hose for getting into nooks and crannies, it is well designed, light weight and very easy to use and empty, packs away neatly and does everything it describes.
Brilliant little vacuum
Fabulous little vacuum! I have two small children and laminate flooring so was spending lots of time sweeping up or getting the big vacuum out just to do a small area. This has saved me lots of time as I can quickly vac under the dining table, do the car seats/buggy/car/kitchen crumbs. It is louder than I expected. It it is powerful so I guess if you want powerful and quiet then you need to pay more. Easy to empty, looks good.

Well It took me ages to take the plunge on buying another cordless vacuum,after my last disastrous purchase of a Bosch Cordless vac,that’s basically rubbish.I read lots and lots of reviews,had this in my basket for about a month before purchasing after reading a couple of conflicting comments.I will first start with the build quality,so far,i have not found a single issue with the build quality,nothing feels frail,the catches are robust,the way it empties is easy,its very easy to strip filter out to wash 10/10 B&D. My hobby is messy,i create mess every where,drop shavings and leaf muclh on the carpet,fish food etc,sand etc,this wonderful vacuum enables me to effortlessly clean this up instantly & easily,where as before it would be left as its a bind to go down stairs late at night & get the big dyson out & fight with its stupidly short hose! This is a dream machine for little clean ups & bigger spills like dropping a pot plant.The vacuum suction is superb,i cannot fault this for a cordless.With smaller clean ups etc you generally use the vac for 15 – 30 seconds,based on this and my intermittent usage including 1 quick car clean,this has lasted me 10 Days already and its still going strong.Obviously if you were to completely Vacuum the stairs top to bottom everyday it wouldnt last 10 days! Its surpassed my expectations on this.I also like to vac my electronic goodies to keep the dust out of them,like laptop,camera,lenses etc – this is my only gripe I really wish Black & Decker would make a round brush attachment! I love this machine,its saved me so much hassle,it makes my life easier by enabling me to be tidy as I go rather than be left with a huge cleanup.
Very good
Bought to clean after my long haired cat and my grand baby! Much easier to use than getting the hoover out for every crumb she leaves behind like Hansel and Gretel!! Very handy too to clean the bits off the ridges on the table. I have also used it to clean my car and found it powerful enough. It comes with a few attachments which are also handy. Very good product.

Versatile vacuum cleaner, fairly light weight and good for using in the car or around the house for smaller jobs. However, suction not especially strong (but from reviews of this and other vacuums, I would guess it is as strong if not stronger than similar portable systems). Just do not think that this will replace a full size vacuum around the house.
I read lots of reviews before purchasing this product as these little battery operated cleaners can be lacking in suction and power and pretty useless and having wasted my money in the past did not want a repeat. Not so with this one!! It may seem a bit on the pricey side but it is really excellent for those little jobs around the home when you don’t want to go to the trouble of getting the big vacuum cleaner out.
Suction is surprisingly good and it is very lightweight. I use it a lot more than I thought I would as it is so good at picking bits up.
Very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend.
Great for little jobs around house
I’ve had my black and Decker vacuum for a while now and I love it.
It’s great at sucking up all the crumbs and dust and messed my 1 year old makes when eating.
I would definitely get this if you wanted a vacuum with great suck that is small and easy to use. It can clean up all those little jobs with ease.
Easy to clean just open latch and throw water in rubbish bin that easy.

Good price - Good product!
Arrived ahead of stated delivery time. Quite pleased with quality. Although base charging unit isn’t so well made as it’s very light and feels like it could be less durable over time in prolonged use. Holds sufficient charge to do the jobs it purchased for, i.e. car vacuuming and small jobs around the home. Overall, a good product at a reasonable price.
Excellent product!
Brilliant excellent fantastic!
Looks like a toy but works like a professional vacuum!!
So light that my 5 year old daughter has been taking it around the house and playing with it to clean the bits and pieces
On the serious note, I bought it to clean the inside of three of my cars and I have not had a better cleaning experience than this ever before, with a cordless vacuum!
Need I say more?!
Does what it's supposed to - well bui
Great little vacuum. Obviously you’re not expecting full-sized suction levels, but it has a good amount of power. Certainly good enough for the car, running round the edges of the kitchen etc.
Build quality is great, and the battery life is perfectly acceptable. If I was going to pick something to gripe about, the base it sits on for charging is a bit flimsy, so when you pick the unit up, it tends to take the base with it.
Don’t buy a cheap hand-held vacuum cleaner, they’re a waste of money. This one is decent and does what it’s supposed to.
Good handheld
First one returned due to faulty switch and would turn itself off. Second one ok with this. Good suction and works for as long as I need it on one charge. Good for nooks and crannies in the car, but still take the mats out to do with the main vacuum. Four stars as the first one had to be returned
Very pleased with this little hoove
Very pleased with this little hoover, does everything I want it to, battery doesn’t last excessively long, long enough to dust around the house but not to hoover out the car all in one go, however only takes about 4 hours to charge so it’s possible to go back to the job in the same day. Really like the flexibility of the hose & the different nozzles, pet hair one works brilliantly on cat hair on the cushions! My mum had an AEG rapido with traditional batteries, it took FOREVER to charge & the extending nozzle kept collapsing back, very irritating, now she has one of these…..says it all!
Good but not a Dyso
It’s ok. I think we are getting so used to strong suction from the leading brands, and when I heard the noise this makes, I rather hoped for Dyson-like suction. Well, you don’t get that. It’s good for picking up bits and pieces, and it’s very helpful getting into the awkward gaps beside the car seats, but it doesn’t suck like a Dyson…. To be fair, it doesn’t cost what a Dyson costs either, so on balance I’m pleased with it.
My trust in Black & Decker is fully justified. This little vacuum cleaner has powerful suction for its size and is ideal for getting into corners behind the TV, hoovering my settee throw without having to lift it off and shake it outside, my carpeted stairs, edges of rugs where crumbs etc end up, my fireplace which attracts dust, all the places where a larger hoover can’t get to and so easy to empty – just hold over a bin open hatch, empty, close hatch. And its discrete, I keep it behind a chair in the living room near the plug point out of sight but within reach. Very pleased and recommended.
A great and powerful cordless vacuum cleaner!
A great and powerful cordless vacuum. Charges quickly and lasts easily enough for me on a per use basis. I have a big vacuum that I use weekly to do my whole house, however this is the perfect interim product, that I can use to keep things clean and tidy as I go along. Works okay on minor mess on carpet, however it truly shines when used on Laminate/Wood/Tile etc.
At it’s full RRP (~150 at the time of writing), it is heavily overpriced. You can buy a full blown corded vac for your entire house for less than that. I managed to pick this up on offer for around 65. At this price, it’s definitely worth it!
I’m very pleased with this Black and Decker Lithium Flexi Vacuum cleaner. Although I primarily bought it for giving the cars a good go over, instead of having to get the old plug in Vac out of the garage. I bought this version, rather than the 12V car version as I wanted the flexibility of being able to use it anywhere without being tied to a 12V socket in the car with the engine on.
As it is quite small, it will reach into every nook and cranny in the car, (and house) and the flexible hose will stretch a good yard/metre or so.
It is certainly powerful enough to pick up the accumulated dried mud and small stones that seem to accumulate in the footwell, and also to get the dust out of the seats.
In the house it is suited to small spills, as it doesn’t have a long extension tube, any floor work will require you to bend down or kneel (unless you have very long arms). Not something I wanted to knock a point off as I knew that before I bought it.
Great for the stairs, and high sills and perfect for taking out spiders webs on the ceiling.
It is very easy to empty, the filter is washable, and a 3 hour charge will give you a good 15 minutes run time. Plenty of time for me to do 2 car interiors.
I have also used it for cleaning up DIY jobs around the house and cleaning up whilst at work.
I’ve owned the weaker version flexi previously, it was good but power and battery life/charging became just too much of an issue, so then I experimented with floor sweepers, where price has no meaning e,g. the 20 Bissell perfect floor sweep, literally wiped the floor with a GTECH costing nearly 3 times the price, these do save time, but all have the same problem, accessibility; into corners, edges, under raised furniture etc, I had looked at getting a premium hand held, like the Dyson, but the huge price put paid to that, there are others but again all pricey.
By chance as I was looking at Amazon just at the time they had this as a lightning deal, hence paying under sixty quid, it’s a lot better than the weaker version, it takes around 4 hours to charge, and has yet to run out during a clean, it is quite noisy which is kinda re-assuring (signifying a lot of power), it’s very easy to set up, use, empty & to clean the filter, and there is another version with a floor extension.
This isn’t going to replace a normal corded vacuum cleaner, but for light use around the home or for cleaning the car/caravan/boat etc it is up to the task, improvements; I hate the naff brush, it’s just to small and wimpy, it also quickly gets clogged with dust, I don’t also like the charging station, it’s just too cheap and lightweight, having used dust busters that cost nearly as much and yet don’t pick up diddly, this Flexi is definitely highly recommended, however considering you can get a good corded vacuum cleaner for the same money, and which doesn’t need charging, is convenience worth the cost ?.
Best dustbuster yet!
We still have our original Dustbuster about 20 years on so were pleasantly surprised to find that the quality, performance and durability had not suffered as so many other brands have over the years, This unit is really great for all those nooks and crannies and getting the pet hair from rugs, carpets or furniture is pretty easy with the strange “shower-head look” pet hair adaptor. Easy charging, easy storage, easy use. Great!
A fine and powerful cleane
Looks good and does it good. Readily cleaned out (often) and with the help of elastic bands the crevis tool can fit into a floor brush tube and this little cleaner can then give a quick run round the floors with enough power for light stuff. It can suck up anything with the normal fittings.
Charging is much better than previous models – the lithium batteries are voltage controlled and the charger turns off when full. The charger is cold when not charging so wastes very little when left switched on continuously.
Does the Job
Excellent little hand-held vac. I use it on the stairs and for the difficult corners and nooks and crannies my Roomba can’t reach. It is so good I have bought one for my daughter as well. The pet hair took is particularly good. I was amazed how much cat hair I removed from the stairs the first time I used it. Does take a bit of elbow grease, though.
NOT BAD
Had this about a month, bought it to replace a Dyson hand held that just stopped working (design flaw apparently and too expensive to repair). Much lighter and more flexible than the dyson, if not quite as powerful – but very handy for picking up piles of swept up dust etc on wooden floors. Also handy for quickly doing the stairs between main cleans. Also use it in the car – where the flexible hose works well.
Five stars plus a wish!
Just what I wanted…but it is so efficient for the small jobs I needed it for that I now wish I had bought the model that comes with a floor extension – but I didn’t know that at the time. If I could find where to buy the extension separately I would…
Five stars, therefore, because it meets my expectations. I’ll give it six if/when I find that extension, which would then truly make it the perfect handy vacuum for little jobs, including sucking up the fluff and crumbs from the floor!

Perfect for everyday use
I have three birdies and they make a huge mess everyday. This little vacuum cleaner has made my life so easy. It’s powerful enough to suck every bit from hard surfaces as well as carpet. The flexible hose goes to every difficult reaching corner and all the mess is clean in no time. The battery is quite good on it as well and last without fading out. If you have pets, that is a must-have! I would highly recommend this item!

So good it will surprise you!
When I received this, the pet attachment didn’t really seem like it would be up to much. I was pleasantly surprised and continue to be surprised at how good this little vacuum it’s, use it in my car because I have a German Shepherd that constantly sheds all over the place, and it removes all of his fur without any problems. The battery seems to last for a very long time also. Much better than spending 300 on a Dyson!

Funky handheld DustBuste
Lovely little hand held. Very lightweight. I’ve had a dyson but it has so many issues that it packed in after 5 years so thought I’d give this a go. Obviously the suction isn’t as good as the dyson and it feels cheap (the on/off button doesn’t seem sturdy) but it does the job. Love the hose which means u can carry it around and get all those cobwebs. Looks funky too. Attachments are very good for cleaning the car so happy to recommend
Recommended. Meets stated run time of 15mins, at a constant suction, reasonably powerful and great for doing edges. At 25 airwatts (suction) it fairs well to other handheld vacuums. The Dyson DC34 does have a boost mode, that has significantly more suction, but than runs the battery down much quicker.
It is lightweight (and smaller than it looks). Realistically you are likely to be using the hose in one hand and holding the vacuum in the other. As one person points out the exhaust is perhaps a little close what you are vacuuming when using it fixed with the hose wrapped, and to me the balance doesn’t seem right using it this way. I don’t find this an issue, the advantage of getting into tight spots wins my favour. I also like the flip down brush nozzle.
Easily emptied, the filter will need cleaning regularly, but this is very easy to remove, and tap out the dust. It is washable, and it cheapish to replace (found here on Amazon for 9). Unlike a Dyson the performance will depend on how clean that filter is (in a Dyson less dust/dirt gets to the filter due to “the cyclones”).
The detachable hose/nozzle makes this much better option (for me) than the Dyson, and I want the long running time. If I really need the boost power offered by the Dyson, I think it is time to get the main vacuum cleaner out.
A little annoyed the price has dropped by 25 only six days after I bought it – but that makes it a better bargain now!
Top Notch
The most expensive battery Vac I’ve ever bought and also the best by a clear mile. Not only could it suck a mars bar through a hose pipe, the versatile hose is perfect. The pet hair/soft furniture attachment works so perfectly its miraculous and the battery lasts for ages. I treat mine like a laptop, as it has lithium batteries, and let it run down before charging. I imagine leaving it the charger would lessen the life of the battery. It comes apart easily for cleaning and all the parts feel like quality items. It’s on a different level to anything else Iv’e used Honestly my best buy in years. – Update: December 2019 — 4 years old and still working perfectly well. I’d say that you Couldn’t go wrong with this item. – further update. 2021 and still working fine. Battery starting to show a little weakness perhaps. But wow, wonderful product.
Excellent vacuum for both the car and house
I had intended this for cleaning the inside of my car but it has proved very flexible and is also used throughout the house, for those small jobs when you can’t be bothered to drag our the upright vacuum cleaner. The suction is strong and the battery lasts 15-20 minutes, plenty long enough for the car or other small household jobs. Plus, suction continues strongly right up to the battery draining completely. Recharging takes around 1-1.5 hrs.
The flexible hose makes life easy when getting into nooks and crannies, and there are two accessories, a standard head with a flip out upholstery brush and a long narrow crevice tool. Emptying it is quick and easy, as is extracting the filter when that needs cleaning. It’s been well used and is highly recommended.
I find using the attachments on my main vacuum to be difficult to use and not particularly flexible. Therefore I was looking for a small and light vacuum for doing the stairs and those other areas that my main vacuum cant really reach and this is ideal. It is extremely light and also being cordless means it is quick to use – no more trying to find a spare plug socket (I never have enough!). In the picture it shows someone holding it with 1 finger and although I haven’t actually tried this myself it really is light. It comes with 3 attachments: one with a wide nozzle with a flip down brush which is a neat idea, a thinner nozzle for getting into small spaces and a pet hair remover. I have 2 cats and their hair gets everywhere. I used the vacuum on my stairs and it pulled the cat hair up really well. It took half the time to do the stairs than with my main vacuum due to not having to get it out, plug it in and then sort out the attachments. I also used this for cleaning out the car and it did a good job. I didn’t find the brush attachment particularly effective – It was actually easier without the brush.
This is small and doesn’t take much room in the cupboard and the charger base is easy to use with helpful holders for the attachments. This has made the job of vacuuming much easier!
I would highly recommend this.
Love i
Very impressed so far. Picks up everything I would expect it too. Very easy to use . Battery lasts just enough time to vacuum a whole car (including boot) . In the house it’s perfect for quickly picking up stuff as its light . Really good for blinds also. I was considering a more expensive brand but liked the fact that it has a flexi pipe and attachments included .
Neat, lightweight, and very useful gadge
Perfect for quick clear-up of crumbs etc, reaching into shelves, tops of cupboards, and picture rails. Also good for light cleaning of stairs, but needs to be supplemented with occasional use of a more powerful standard vacuum. Quite noisy, but I don’t find that a problem. The flip-up brush is a bit flimsy, and the standard nozzle is a bit too narrow for cleaning a large area. Suction is better than I expected. All in all, a very welcome addition to my cleaning toolkit.
Neat little machine
his is an excellent machine. My upright Hoover does not have all the attachments so this little machine fits the job perfectly. Reaches the places that other similar machines don’t. I like the comment made in one of the other reviews describing it as the little Heineken Hoover! Some reviews comment on the noise but this is no worse than the classic hoovers. It charges up very quickly and lasts much longer than I expected. I cannot recommend it enough.

This does what I want it to: dust round the TV, crumbs round the toaster, tumble dryer, mats in the car.
It’s no Dyson but does the job.
Short flexible hose makes it a little more versatile than a bog standard dust buster. Easy to empty, filter lifts out – used a Dyson to suck that clean :).
A less clunky off/on switch would be an advantage, as would a docking station to charge it. Inserting the charging plug is a bit fiddly. Hence 4 stars!
Very good product let down by charging plate
Supplied promptly. Has very good suction and reasonably light. The hose is a very useful for getting into difficult to reach places. My only complaint is that the charging plate and the rest for the extension nozzle are for bench mounting only and cannot be wall mounted. A redesign of the charging plate and nozzle rest into a single wall mount cradle unit would be a tremendous improvement to this otherwise excellent product.
better than expected - excelle
Having seen the demise of the once well respected Black and Decker brand over the last 20 years, especially their power tools, which used to be excellent, which are now pale Chinese imitations, this vac has been a pleasant surprise.
Having done some research, (I always do), we purchased this to clean up pet hair (cat malts like hell) as well as other odd jobs around the house where our trusty and powerful “henry” is too cumbersome and a pain in the arse to move around.
This vac is about 2/3 as powerful as a henry on standard mode, so its quite powerful considering its battery powered.
At last, a portable vac that’s comparable to a mains powered vacuum, you could probably get away with cleaning a betsit or small flat with this alone.
The attachments are good, one has a brush which clips over and back again, which is good for dusting and cobwebs, there is a thin attachment for corners etc, but the best one for our purposes is the pet hair removal tool.
This tool is made of rubber on one side, which moves the hair into the hole in the middle, but most importantly, it stops the vac from sucking up sofa throws, curtains etc, as it cannot get a proper grab to do so.
Very impressive, well worth it.
feel confident going into your shed again.
cons : the brush bristles could be a bit stiffer and more suction would of course be nice
pros: Very nice design .. extremely ergonomic. the extending flexable hose is so useful for cobwebs on the ceiling .. this little vacuum is perfect for cleaning the car … in fact with the different attachements its the easiest I’ve ever vacuumed in all the crevices and down the sides of the seats. This is not as powerful as a corded vacuum and therefore takes a little patience and extra time, but I have to say that once I got used to it … the convenience of the size and design of it does make up for the gentler suction. Also in some cases the gentler sucking action is a bonus .. for eg when cleaning shelves with models on . ie gentle delicate dusting . Mind you … with the brush folded back I cleaned dried mud off the kitchen floor and the end nozzle is tough enough to use as a scraper and then the loose dirt is sucked up. The little door that opens at the side to empty it is lovely . I mean honestly the person or team that worked on this really got it right. I’m also hoping that it will be good for sucking up spiders… oh i just realised … you know how sheds are scary with spiders in … you could take this with you for protection . bonus
I actually thought I was going to be disappointed with this. I bought it mainly to try and get rid of pet hairs on the car seats and it failed to do that.
I was going to send it back until I realised that I had been using it every day to get the pet hairs of the furniture which it does very well. As we have a Husky, a Dalmation and several cats, that alone makes it worth the money.
It also proved useful when a bag of rice burst!
I don’t know why it doesn’t work in the car, perhaps it is the material the seats are made of. Anyway I would recommend this produc
Best hoover I have ever owned. So small and efficient. How could I ever lived without it??
100% recommend to anyone looking for a small, handheld hoover. The charge last good 25-30mins, enough for me to go around the entire house and clean up cobwebs and small debris brought in by the family & pets during a week.
The pet adaptor is great – I also use it on the main hoover and it gets rid of all pet hair – we have 3 cats so found it very useful!
It does not overcharge so once you’re done with it, just pop it back in and it’s ready for your next clean. My relatives seen it last week and now want one too!
Cannot recommend it enough to anyone needing a small hoover. Forget those cheap, 15-20 models that have no suction power – better to spend a bit more and end up with a hoover that actually works!
This is a lovely, powerful little fancy dustbuster. It charges quickly and lasts about 15 minutes or so in use. The pet head is very effective for furniture, rugs and stairs. The brush is very good for hard floor edges. It’s light to handle. The only real quibble I have is that I have to stoop to clean at floor level. It would have been nice to have a longer nozzle for reaching down, or up, for that matter. I recommend the product.
Battery charge lasts for ages. Easy enough to clan the big saloon car footwells and boot. I keep it plugged in and always ready to go when I need it. Simple to empty and the hose is an added bonus. Also comes with 2 tools – per hair remover and a crevice tool which are both very handy.

I’ve had a few cordless vacs and this one is streets ahead, surprisingly powerful and lasts far longer than previous ones.
Unlike my last one this is capable enough to do the car.
It’s a good design and light weight too
Only 4 stars because the charger base is so flimsy.
I did a fair amount of research before buying this. My wife wanted a “dust-buster”, but it seemed to me that most of them on the market seem to have little suction and low battery life. We have a Dyson as our main vacuum cleaner, so wasn’t expecting this to be anything like that in terms of suction power. For a wireless vacuum, I would say this is great. It’s no Dyson, but neither does it cost what a Dyson does. It does a great job of picking up small things, which is after all, what it is for. I can’t say I have used it for any considerable time (i.e. for cleaning the car, etc), but I did find myself cleaning the stairs and other parts of the floor with it – the battery didn’t die on me and hasn’t done so yet. It comes with a neat base to put it on which you plug the charging cable into. You then simply pick it up to clean, then place it back to charge when finished. It is easy to empty and comes apart well to wash when necessary. The fact that you can detach the head/hose from the base while cleaning is a real upside as it makes it a lot more flexible in terms of cleaning different areas. Ideal if you are like me and have two small children who create a never ending wake of mess, but you would rather not deploy the usual (large) vacuum cleaner after them every time.
This is a great product. Nice and light weight. It is used a lot more than I initially thought it would. Good for quick clean up in the kitchen and car and then it sits back on its charging dock. Enough power for minor clean up jobs but would not replace main vacuum. Wish I had ordered one of these years ago it’s so handy.
Good and lightweight design, just a little loud
Very effective vacuum cleaner which is light and easy to use. It holds charge well enough to run for about 15-20 minutes without loss of suction. The design which allows the hose to be extended is excellent – actually far better than the equivalent Dyson which is far more expensive. It is easy to empty and the filter shows no signs of clogging
The one downside is the noise – hence 4 stars. It is very loud and high-pitched (similar to the Dyson) which means that you are likely to want to stop using it well before it runs out of power, but it is fine for small cleaning jobs and ideal for cleaning the car.
I wanted a mini vac to save me having to drag the big Dyson out every time I wanted to clear the couch of husky dog hair. They shed a LOT and when blowing her coat you can literally pull handfuls of hair off ours, creating epic fluff balls all over the house but especially the couch where she likes to sleep. I was worried this might not be powerful enough but the 18v version didn’t have the pet hair tool so I bought this. I needn’t have worried!
This little vac is almost as powerful as my DC14 Animal with very impressive suction for its diminutive size. It actually clears the couch better thanks to the pet hair tool, which has little rubber fingers to drag the hair out of the fabric without damaging it. This works quite well on clothes too. The other tools are also useful for various vacuum tasks around the house.
The vacuum is compact and lightweight and the hose means it’s very easy to reach all those corners and awkward bits. The on/off switch is a push through type which is easy to use and solid enough not to get knocked accidentally. I like the little charging stand which keeps all the attachments tidy and means you always have a spot to keep the vacuum rather than wherever you can find space. It’s not the quietest of vacuums but then again neither is my Dyson and to be frank you’re just not going to get really powerful suction in a whisper quiet appliance! It’s not unbearable and as the vacuum is only in use for a minutes it really doesn’t matter.
I’ve found the charge lasts more than long enough to clear my 4 seater couch of excessive dog fluff and do a general pick up on the living room and hall floors. I haven’t tried hoovering out my car with it yet but I’m sure it would last long enough to do the whole thing. It charges quickly too.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this mini vac. It won’t replace my big vacuum but I’ll certainly be using it less often.

Bought this to clean the car, to get into all the little places – for this task it is great.
Battery lasts for about 15-20 mins and provides full power for all but the last few seconds.
Useful in the house for localised cleaning, spills etc, stairs & crannies. Not a substitute for a proper vacuum cleaner, but a useful addition.
Better made than I was expecting for the price.
Best hand held vacuum I have owned
Best hand held vacuum I have owned. Love that its not too heavy to hold in my left hand and can use the hose with attachments with my right. The hose is so easy to reach areas that I could never get to using an old fashioned dustbuster! Have not used it that much yet so hope that when I do the car I will find the suction strong enough.
This is excellent, got this for my carava
This is excellent, got this for my caravan. It is perfect for those vacubags I use for bedding as it has strong suction on it. I use a dyson at home and because the hose no longer has a flat end on it I cannot use it on the vacubags, so I use it at home too.
It is also great for doing the stairs and is so lightweight. I will also use it to hoover the car too.
The charge lasts long enough for me to do what I have to do. The suction is excellent for such a small thing.
I would highly recommend it.
but it turned out to be quite good. It is very ligh
I was a little apprehensive about buying this, but it turned out to be quite good. It is very light, although very loud, and it blows out a lot of air at the side. The suction is ok and better than most portable vacs. In terms of battery you’ll get a realistic 15-20 mins out of it before it starts to turn off (it doesn’t slow down). It does occasionally turn itself off which I think is because it detects there is no actual suction occurring (which is a nice feature).
I would say it is best suited as a regular top up to a normal power vacuum. I used it in my new Mini Cooper and I was able to do the inside before it conked out (wasn’t enough battery to do the boot), although it was the first time using it properly, so next time I’ll probably be quicker. You will have to go over some areas a few times. The hair attachment worked well as it is a massage type (it looks like a shower head). I like the fact you can change the attachment, and the long hose is a boon.
This is a great little tool. I was about to buy the previous Black and Decker model but this newer model was available – and at a lower price! The main change from old, appears to be the new Lithium battery – sounds like Black & Decker are aware of the fairly short battery life of the previous model, that a few reviewers picked up on. I haven’t used the previous model so can’t compare but to give you an idea on this the charge lasts for a good 20 – 25 minutes on constant power with a full charge. This is the main and pretty much only drawback, although not enough to deduct a star, but I had expected a little more. It took approximately 4 hours to charge the battery up on first use.
I have a pug that sheds LOADS of fur in my car and this was the main reason for my purchase. It is much easier than lugging out the main hoover, plugging it in, etc. However I will definitely be using this to get fur off the sofa and elsewhere too. If you have a Henry Hoover (for comparison) which is of course mains , the suction is of a similar level to that. There is no Turbo button because of course that would zap the battery life even more – but the suction is really the main selling point of this. If you are unsure – as I was – I can safely say, do not be.
The pet hair piece is absolutely brilliant. When I unwrapped it I thought it was a cheap piece of plastic that would soon find its way in the bin, but it loosens and pulls up fur with ease, making it so much easier. Also includes a thin nozzle and brush piece.
PROS: Great suction, half the price of a Dyson, pet hair removal is brilliant, has small filter, easy to empty (bagless obviously).
CONS: Power only lasts for 20-25 minutes on full charge. Slightly difficult to maneuver in tight places given ‘plastic bend’
I haven’t tried the Dyson equivalent … but I can’t see how it can be any better at 2x the price. I’m the sort of person who would never pay a premium just for a ‘brand’ – I have a Henry Hoover for the house and it’s so much better than any Dyson I’ve ever used, so I’m very glad I bought this and didn’t waste 70+ more on a Dyson.
