What not to love hour charge great for car and areas in house to reach, light and compact. Fantastic suction for a small appliance and great led light a must buy
Cleaner is lightweight and very manoeuvrable which is great, however it has the most stupid charging dock I have ever seen. If you have flat walls and can screw the charging dock to the wall ,I am sure it is fine, but if like me you have skirting boards you cannot screw it to the wall so it is unstable, wobbly and hard to dock the cleaner into. Black+ Decker obviously did not think of this otherwise they would supply an adaptor which can click onto the charger to bridge the gap between the wall and charger so you can still screw the charging dock to the wall if you have skirting boards. Because of this there is no way I can give it 5 stars.
Purchased the vacuum as our old cordless Black and decker broke this is a huge inprovement on the last one we had and is more like an proper corded vacuum than our previous model .
Pros
It’s very moveable and is lightweight
Suction is good
We Like the power option (light to max power)
Auto setting for suction power is clever
Good option of additional tools
Easy to clean out
Who’s recommend as a everyday vacuum for short carpets and wooden floors as we use .
Battery life is very good .
Like the option to remove it from upright to portable .
Long hose .
Cons
It’s Bit noisy
Fiddly to fit to charging stand
Absolutely love this vacuum! Total life changer. So easy to use, lightweight and decent suction. Its so versatile I can use it anywhere! I wish I’d bought one long ago.
Very impressed with this vacuum cleaner, it’s easy to use, lightweight and has great functions. The light is higher up than most stick vacuums giving a wider area of clear view. I tested the suction on a very difficult carpet to vacuum and it did an excellent job leaving nothing behind. Its excellent value and a great vacuum cleaner, it is slightly cumbersome while using the hand held section but does have a shoulder strap if needed. It was delivered just 2 days after ordering. I would highly recommend this produc
I love this vacuum cleaner. It wasn’t a model I had come across before as you don’t associate Black & Decker with vacuum cleaners! It’s easy to use, and lightweight. There are probably other cleaners on the market that are lighter but it’s still great to use. I feel this vacuum has good suction power and a long charge time. You can choose whether to have the brush roller on or just suction. The middle disconnects from the main part so you can easily carry it around to use as a handheld. It is very easy to empty and clean also. This is the Pet model and has a couple of tools with it too. I am really pleased with my purchase! I have owned Bosch, Vax & Dyson machines in the past and for the price I am very pleased with it so far.
This is such a good product. It’s lightweight, you can control the power, it has a light to show the dirt. It’s slimline so it fits in my utility cupboard. Couldn’t recommend it more.
It’s lightweight and easy for me to carry upstairs. Easy to clean. Dust barrel is smaller than our old one but easy to empty and I get a few cleans before it needs emptying. Now, I vacuum every day. It’s easy enough to whip out and clean up small areas.
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Really impressed with this Hoover I have dogs so hair is an issue this collects it fantastically..
The suction on full power is strong and the battery lasts for approximately 25 minutes on full power which is fine for myself.
Found this easy to put together quite self explanatory and love the attachments and the fact it comes off to do stairs,sofa’s etc.
I have always had an Henry hoover but gotta admit I like this one better with the cordless feature.
Yes it takes a while to recharge but I just put straight back on charge after use.
I’m really pleased I went for this hoover at a reasonable price I’d say better than my Henry.
Very happy customer and highly recommend no issues at all!!
Very good vacuum great as comes off for use as a car vac as well.
The suction on this hoover is very good. This hoover has upto a 60min run time, which is far longer than my Dyson. The price was super. There is a kind of whistling noise throughout hoovering, not sure of the cause, may be normal for this hoover. I didnt even know Black n Decker did hoovers, always thought just man tools.
What can i say this is worlds apart from my old hoover for a cordless upright this is great the price is on point and it has great suction. And the auto surface is great.
Best hoover I’ve ever bought! So fast and easy glides round and picks everything up!
REALLY GOOD AND LIGHT:
BUT TWO ATTACHMENTS WERE MISSING ITEM 16 AND ITEM 17 FROM PAGE 2 OF THE HANDBOOK
Bought this after I bought a cheap stick one which was useless…I have had a black and decker vacuum before and it was great so decided to get this one. I have a black long haired cat which leaves fluff all over the place and this cleaner picks it up with ease. It is is as good as a corded cleaner in my opinion and I’m so glad I bought i
Does exactly what I wanted it to do. Very flexible also.
A lovely vac for the house, we have wood floors too and it’s great on them. The attachments for the stairs in particular are no good and suction not good enough for the car but as a standard upright in the house it’s fine
Battery only lasts about 25 mins then needs charging. Otherwise really good. Easy to take apart to clean and resemble.
Does what it’s supposed to do. Battery life could be better otherwise a great vacuum cleaner.
Lightweight, easy to operate. Great for small flat. Battery life nearer half an hour than the 60 minutes claimed.
Light weight and very portable (no cord). Best hoover I’ve ever had in terms of ease of using. I only use it for a small apartment though so can’t comment on use for larger areas.
This was bought for my elderly mother for her new flat. She is over the moon with it. She is pleased that it’s so lightweight and is very impressed with the suction power. As she is only in a small flat the life of the battery has not been tested a great deal.
Easy to use, good suction – picks up pet hair easily. The light is a bonus and shows up any bits on the carpet.
Excellent buy.
Lightweight to use, no problems with trailing leads definitely recommend it.
After purchase I didn’t realise just how good it is! we only live in a small 2 bed house so the battery life is fine for the amount it’s in use for us. The fact it all comes apart its so easy to take out to the car or use on stairs. Filter can be take out and washed saving money on new ones, the dust collector is easy to empty after each use.
Only downside is the suction, it’s not as powerful as our old vacuum but it definitely does the job! we also have a large labrador and her pet hair is no match for this. Biggest bargain is we got a free steam mop from phillips as part of an online promotion so even better value than the Dysons!
Update.
Having used this now for a week or more, a few additional points. When the brush is turning its VERY noisy much noisier than my old Dyson. However, when the brush is off its pretty quiet.
The dust holder is fairly easy to empty apart from the fact that the slider allows hairs to be trapped between it and the body of the container and they can be tricky to get at.
Overall I’m still quite happy with the vac in general.
Further update.
Used it to try and vac up Vanish carpet powder and it failed to do the job. This is a reasonable vac for everyday quick cleaning but not really up to heavy tasks.
A fab vacuum cleaner. Picks up cat hair, dirt, dust, and bits of thread from my sewing machine with ease. Not the lightest, but handles easily. Good size dust container that’s easy to empty. Converts to a handheld and has a carry strap included to make it easy to use on stairs and furniture. Battery life could be a bit better (between 20 and 60 minutes depending on suction power used), but in the whole it’s a fab little vac and we’ll worth the price.
It works okay pretty good but of messing about changing implements but i haven’t got a lot patience so it probably is okay
Suction is not brilliant but the beater is good for moving dirt and the battery lasts quite a long time, gives me chance to do a good vacuum upstairs and downstairs .
Does what I hoped it would do.. perfect for my house size, and has plenty of running time.
First thing to note is that this is not going to replace a mains powered hoover. It does ‘suck’ well, but I’ve yet to find anything battery powered that can match a mains powered device. Additionally, the battery wouldn’t last long enough for a large family sized house.
With those caveats made, it is remarkably effective for a battery powered device and will do a good job unless there is ingrained dirt in the carpet. On the other hand, being lightweight and battery powered, it is a lot easier to simply grab the hoover and clean up a mess anywhere, immediately, before dirt has an opportunity to get ingrained.
There are a series of touch sensitive ‘buttons’ on the top of it, controlling the suction power, whether it is automatic mode or not, the on/off for the beater bar and the lamp. There are two displays; one for the remaining battery power and the other for the suction power presently set.
What’s great about it is:
– it is cleverly designed so that the suction/dust box section can be easily separated from the body to be used as a powerful hand held hoover. The main handle can be converted to an extension handle in the ‘remote mode’, and there is an ingeniously designed attachment which is three attachments in one. I’ve found that I use this mode more frequently than the main vacuum, cleaning the car and for small DIY cleanups.
– It is lightweight which makes it easy to grab and clean anywhere in the house and makes hoovering the stairs less of an ordeal.
– It has an intelligent ‘auto’ suction setting, which varies the suction power to save battery life.
– the built in light is bright enough to be genuinely useful.
– In use it is very smooth and manoeuvrable.
– There is a built in hand operated filter ‘wipe’ which will clear large debris away from the first filter layer on the fly.
– Accessing, removing and cleaning the filters is very easy.
– I don’t think you’re going to be able to hoover a 4 bedroom house in one go, but it’ll do a couple of rooms with power to spare.
However, I wasn’t so keen on:
– The build quality and plastics they used don’t feel like they will last for years.
– The colour scheme is rather unsubtle and garish.
– The charging stand really need to be mounted on the wall because freestanding, it is so wobbly that it’s hard to mount the vacuum to charge it.
– When the vacuum ‘foot’ is in the perpendicular position, as it is after charging, you can’t roll it over the floor because the wheels are locked; you have to click it out of that position in order for it to roll.
All in all, this isn’t designed as a mains hoover replacement, unless you have a fairly small flat and mostly hard floors. However it is ideal for quickly cleaning up messes as they happen, or for awkward jobs where it’s portability is useful.
This is so practical – great for whizzing around rooms or, in portable mode, blitzing a car or the stairs. I find it really intuitive to use and the suction is good. It’s easy to empty and the light on the front is powerful and makes it easy to see what you are doing. It’s a little noisy, but you can regulate the power with a touch. The only thing I’d say is that it takes quite a long time to charge and that it powers down quite quickly on full power (15 minutes or so). If it’s your sole vacuum for a larger house that might be an issue. Build quality is ok – but it could feel more sturdy.
As an aside customer service is excellent – my first one didn’t charge properly and it was replaced with no quibbles.
Overall a great machine – but probably best for smaller properties or as a second vacuum.
This is a good hoover that picks up well though feels fairly heavy and bulky to use.
Sitting it on the base can be a little awkward also but it usually goes on right in a try or two.
The hoover works as well on hard floor and carpet.
It seems churlish to compare this to the FX9-1-ANIM, a vacuum cleaner twice the price, but our usual steer actually highlights the charms of a competent budget example of the allergy free cordless vacuum cleaner. Yes, it’s a little more cumbersome, seemingly less powerful machine that is trickier to assemble and doesn’t have quite the same build quality. Example: our long brush rattles for no good reason. That said, this is actually better than our AEG in terms of having a harness and overall we’re pretty impressed at what you’re getting for the money. It’s not top notch but it’s competitive in its price bracket.
This is certainly an impressive looking item and a great deal of thought has gone into its design. The modularity concept allows you to assemble a smaller version of the cleaner is ingenious and works quite well. Quality of the moulding and the production values are quite high and chase the obvious rival model which begins with an “capital D”. I also did find it particularly good at working with pet hair-I got far better results with this cleaner than with any other I’ve tried.
The items only major flaw that I could see was an excessive complexity in changing the filters and emptying the refuse: this seemed very involved and I took particular care doing it as I’ve been caught out before – the cleaner was put back together as precisely as I could manage but has never really worked the same since….perhaps I need to persevere – you may have better luck.
Black & Decker 2 in 1 Cordless Vacuum
This is exactly what I needed, a cordless vacuum cleaner to clean around the house with and also use it for the car and in the garage without the need for annoying trailing cables. I am not sure it will do a whole hour on full charge as B&D claims, especially on the highest suction setting, but for me 30-40 mins is long enough for any job. Plus, this does feel light when you start using it, but like with anything else, after about 20 mins, it starts feeling a whole lot heavier.
The dust box size is nothing compared to conventional vacuum cleaners and fills up quickly. I have carpets and rugs and the head is really good at collecting all the excess fluff off the floor and you can see it filling up the dust box in no time.
Not as expensive as the big brand names, but also not the cheapest on the market, but a very good mid range choice. Don’t buy this (or any cordless) vacuum if you are expecting it to replace your Henry or a similar mains vacuum cleaner, these will never be as powerful or durable, but this an excellent option for frequent cleaning. The added bonus of it is it detaches from the body and becomes a handheld unit for cleaning stairs, walls and ceilings, inside the car and in tight spaces.
It mounts and stands nicely for charging and storing, once you get the hang of it and doesn’t look unsightly. Could do with a compartment to store the attachments. The battery takes about 5 hours to fully charge, so if you do run it down, you’ll need to pick up where you left off a good while later. To sum up, it does what I expected a cordless vacuum to do. It doesn’t blow me away with performance, but I doubt any cordless device ever will. It does however meet my expectations of convenience.
Good points:
Convenient
Easy to use
Reasonably good power
Good attachments
Good battery life
Bad points
No bad points as such
Rating – 4.5 out of 5 purely because no cordless device is quite perfect yet!
This is actually a really good vacuum cleaner from B&D, which surpassed my expectations. I don’t know why but on seeing it was cordless I thought it would be inferior to a corded cleaner but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Set up was quick and easy, you simply plug it in, charge it up and it’s good to go. Benefits are versatility – no cords getting in the way, and there’s no
Obvious trade off in power levels. The unit adapts to different floor surfaces which makes it ideal if you have a mix of carpet, tile, laminate etc. You can also detach the main unit for cleaning stairs or nooks and crannies, and it contains all the attachments you need.
Build quality is really good and the colour scheme is quite modern and not too garish as I thought
Overall a fantastic bit of kit and ideal for those homes with pets or allergy sufferers thanks to the built in filte
This versatility does not compromise suction power and it even coped with our daughter’s bedroom purple carpet and white cat fur combination. The ultimate test for any vacuum cleaner! The thing I like best is the removable centre section of the cleaner that means you can carry it in your hand – or over your shoulder with the supplied strap – and clean a staircase or hard to reach area with ease. Whilst in ‘carrying mode’ a wand attachment can be used to clean curtains, chair seats etc…
When finished, the vacuum cleaner can be kept upright on its charging base and is ready to go whenever needed. I really can’t fault it.
This is a brilliant vacuum cleaner.
Cordless, so easy on the stairs.
It has a big collection bag, which is easy to remove and clean.
The only thing I didn’t like was the weight.
It seemed so heavy to use, compared to other cordless vacuum I have had.
However the cleaning ability was more than compensated for.
This is a great hover. So far it’s been reliable suction, automatic sensor for the rug verses the laminate flooring which is a helpful feature!
I don’t think the colourway is for everyone and indeed, if I was buying it outright it’s something I’d consider but the grey and green fits into our eclectic family and works for us.
It’s a bit heavier than I’d have expected but it’s still very managable. It’s substantially lighter than the previous upright vacuum cleaner I had.
The charger just needs to be plugged in and attaches into the unit much like a phone charger does. This is vastly preferable for me as I found a solid charging unit to be a bit of a hindrance in the space it took and the machine sometimes didn’t connect into it. Theres no such issues with this black and decker vacuum cleaner.
I also am a fan of having everything you could need in one place so for me, this is definitely a vacuum cleaner I intend to use for a long time and would have no issue recommending to others.
The things I like:
– the centre of gravity of this vac is carried low, meaning that the weight carried by the wheels, rather than on the wrist like my Dyson cordless.
– it’s very easy to maneuver, perfect if your house is an obstacle course like mine.
– the on/off switch is one that you press on and then have to press again to turn off. This is much better for arthritic hands than my cordless Dyson, which I have to hold on all the time. My cleaner won’t use the Dyson but she loves this black and decker.
– once I got the hang of the power slide (put a finger on the >>>> and slide it right to get more power, left to get less power) I found it much more effective at picking up pet hair. Be aware that it doesn’t pick all of my labradors hair up, but then neither does any other hoover I’ve tried.
– the nosey parker tool is ok, not great, but ok. I like that there is a bendy hose, but it only works with full power on.
– I can get right round my entire house on one charge.
– it’s easy to empty and there’s an extremely satisfying slider to ram the dust (and dog hairs, did I mention those?) into a smaller package so that you can continue to hoover without needing to empty quite so much.
– the hoover will stand on its own without falling over.
Now for things I don’t like:
– it seems to take a long time to fully charge, several hours.
– I have to have it on full power on the carpet
– some dog hairs are left behind on carpets and rugs
– when using the hand held bit on its own, it’s to easy to catch the emptying button. I emptied all of what I’d just hoovered all over my car seat by mistake. Luckily it’s fairly easy to hoover again.
– the charging stand is quite big
Other comments
– It came with a holster, presumably for the handheld bit. I haven’t worked out where it fastens but haven’t felt like I’m missing out on anything.
– the handle will extend. I haven’t needed this but I guess if you’re very tall it might be useful
– the pictorial instructions weren’t particularly intuitive, but we managed to work most things out quickly.
BLACK+DECKER 2 in 1 Cordless MULTIPOWER Pro Vacuum Cleaner;
Works as intended it vacuums floors with ease, the suction is reliable and adjustable no issues on rugs / wood flooring may struggle on the thicket carpets but overall it’s perfect little bit of kit with only a few minor drawbacks.
Drawbacks;
– battery life isn’t 60mins on MAX you get around 40-43mins with maximum setting and brush head on.
– The dock station needs a rethink it’s cumbersome and annoying letting an otherwise good product down.
– takes longer to charge than it operation time. they should have taken the quick charge route.
overall 8.5/10
Excellent Hoover got rid of my dyson and bought this much better machine at half the price
The vacuum cleaner arrives in a nice robust box and enclosed is some instruction/pictures. I found the overall picture on the outside of the box as to what the completed vacuum cleaner should look like more useful, any way together with instructions its quite apparent how this fits together. I did have to check the video on the brush that can be used on cushions and similar how to use that, from the instructions purely I struggled with that initially. Plugged in and required around 6 hours to gain a full charge when placed on the stand. I fitted the stand against a wall upstairs in our house. I note that when using the vacuum cleaner it senses quite smartly the difference between carpet and wood flooring. There is a variable speed setting which is easy to manage and emptying the vacuum cleaner after usage present no issues. My wife commented that this was particular good on carpets and the motion of using this was good. However she thought the suction power is not fabulous but OK. We did deliberate about the charging time but if using on full power it will be fully discharged in 15 minutes and will take 5-6 hours to fully re-charge. I do not consider that unreasonable but might prove to be a hindrance to some. We like the overall quality and overall ease in using the vacuum cleaner despite some reservations this is a descent vacuum if considering.
The manoeuvrability is remarkable – the head will do a 90 degree turn. This means it can be pushed into places which older vacuums just couldn’t get to without being lifted – and again it fits into more narrow spaces. It just makes the whole process so much quicker and easier. But – the best part for me, is emptying the dust container. As with other lighter vacuums, there is a little less space, so I found it was best to empty at the end of vacuuming the house. But it is far easier than any other vacuum I’ve used. Simply push down the purple part to remove, take out, flip open the lid and the dust comes out. There is none of that coat hanger stuff as you try to get the dust out of narrow ‘corridors’ in the dust container. It is very easy.
Highly recommended. This is a great vacuum cleaner.
The control panel is easy to use and its touch sensitive it has the option to turn automatic mode on and off and to turn the rotating brushes on or off, and the suction power adjustment.
It cleans really well, I have 2 black cats and it does a great job of removing the hair from the carpets and rugs I would say just as well as my mains powered upright. The waste chamber can be compacted so it dosent need emptying as often but its very easy to empty also.
The charging stand can be a bit wobbly but the option is there to attach it to a wall.
It comes with some fragrange discs, this need to be stuck to the bottom of the white filter housing, this is not shown in the instruction i had to look it up.
This is a fantastic light weight hoover for the price.
The hoover was very easy to put together and use. Its very easy to empty and comes with freshener discs.
I’ve owned a few vacuums that are advertised for pet owner and usually the only difference is that they include a separate high powered brush that’s great for small areas but useless for the rest of your home. This vacuum however is a true pet hoover it has a rubberised brush bar on the main part of the hoover that would be great for pet hair.
The charging and run time is comparable to 2 other higher end cordless vacuums I have owned however I did notice a loss of suction as the battery got low.
The hoover is versatile and has a long reach hose and onboard tools which sets it apart from other cordless vacuums. The centre also detaches to allow further reach this makes vaccuming the stairs easy and safe.
One thing that I do not like is the charging unit. It is unstable and makes the hoover lean forward. It has on a couple of occasions fallen over. The wire and the way the hover charges means you unfortunately have no option but to use the stand.
I received this product as part of the Vine panel but I would not have been disappointed if I had purchased it. It’s one I’d recommend to other families, with or without pets.
Im going to give 4/5 stars as the charging stand unfortunately lets it down.
Does the job, just needed it to do my bedroom because it enables me to get to corners that otherwise I could not get to.
In my view cordless vacuum cleaners far surpass the old mains driven ones. They are simply quicker and easier to use. Of course the downside is the battery. You cannot get anything comparable to mains power and portability and a decent running time – the technology doesn’t exist. But you can get a good compromise which still leaves a better product overall.
I don’t like the docking station. It feels ricketty. But I don’t agree that putting it on and taking it off is at all dangerous or difficult. If you go to the trouble of mounting it on a skirting board it won’t even be ricketty though I agree that mounting it is a nuisance for the sort of lazy people like me who like cordless appliances.
I half agree with the comments about charging. It does take half a day to charge. But since you tend to put it away for at least a day after use, it hardly matters. The question is how far does the battery get you? It got me about three quarters of the way through my house. But my house is unusually large, with 5 bedrooms and 6 reception rooms, so I reckon there is enough charge to do most houses.
As for the performance, I have another cordless vacuum cleaner by Hoover. It is amazingly light and pleasant to use, and has a clever mechanism where you plonk it upright and the base clicks firm so that it stands up. It is such a pleasure to use, for me this outweighs the good design features of the Black & Decker. The Hoover is also much quieter. The Black & Decker is, however, more of a heavy duty machine. Although the suction doesn’t feel particularly strong, it has a powerful spinning brush which is presumably why they advertise it as specially good for pet hair.
I use it quite a bit in the portable mode which is very convenient for quick jobs and for the car. It is much much better than the car vacs I have seen before. I have tried 3 different types, two of which run off the car battery. You have to turn on the engine to get them to work properly and even then they are feeble and one of them blew a fuse in my car, which caused me all sorts of trouble (it meant my dashcam stopped working and of course I didn’t notice until I had an accident and went to look for the footage). So The Black & Decker is really a vast improvement for the car.
One final question mark. I once had a Black & Decker cordless mini-vac that cost about 30. It was great for 10-second jobs like picking up crumbs. After using it a few times the battery completely packed up and I had to throw the whole thing away (as the battery couldn’t be replaced). This was in 2009 so I would hope they are using better technology now. If not, this could end up in the bin too. Black & Decker, you are invited to comment.
Good suction and very easy to use. The battery lasts long enough for me to vacuum all of my flat, with about 30% of the charge left. I only use the vacuum on the max power setting.
Good points:
Versatility: It can be used as a regular upright and then the centre section can be lifted out for stairs, car etc.
Battery and suction: The battery has never run out on me, I maybe only switch on the mains charger every few weeks to charge. The suction is very good: I have never found it lacking, it’s better than my old mains unit, but I haven’t compared it to other cordless vacuum cleaners. There are many other vacuum cleaners of a similar design which start off as a handheld unit which is then plugged into a base/upright unit. This is designed as an upright first and foremost which does mean that the removable section is heavier, but it also has proper suction and a better battery.
Bad points:
Charge cable: When assembling the base station the charge cable wires from the wall straight into the unit. I would have preferred the mains connection to plug into the unit. Also: You need to be careful when assembling this because I think it would be quite easy to slice through this when assembling both parts of the base unit. But this is not enough to mark it down.
Attachment: The attachment is usable, but not very good: It doesn’t attach very well and is not very well designed. I also have an older, smaller B&D Dustbuster Flexi cordless vacuum and it’s good it’s accessories are interchangeable (because they are much better)
Overall:
None of the bad points are reasons not to buy, on the whole I am very happy with my purchase. The convenience of cordless means that I vacuum the house much more often and it’s much less of a chore.
Highly Recommended
Very light Easy to use Only issue is its a bit unstable so you have to make sure it clicks to stay uprigh
