BLACK+DECKER POWERSERIES+ 20V MAX Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with LED Floor Lights, Lightweight, Multi-Surface (BHFEA520J) , Gray

We love this vacuum! It is lightweight and powerful. It's easy to charge. We love that it's cordless and very durable. The trash co trainer fills up pretty quickly. We just empty it after every vacuum, it's easy to empty. We use it to vacuum the carpet, hardwood floors and tile and it does great on all surfaces. I also love that it changes suction on it's own when a stronger suction is needed. We are very happy with our buy!

****UPDATE as of July 2024- Sad news. My sweet vacuum only last a year (almost to the date). I didn't buy the extra insurance as I got such a great price I may have said something like "at this price if it lasts a year I've gotten my moneys worth!" Certainly not really thinking it' going to break. Specifically what happened was the roller brush bar cap (thats the little grey round attachment at the end of the brush bar that helps it sit/cradle in the vacuum) came off somewhere. Ironically I loved that it was removable brush bar for cleaning. Across my research I've found most others had a situation where that same piece melted to the brush bar. I am ordering a replacement piece and contacting Black + Decker. Also a different branded vacuum arrives today. So, do with that what you wish, but I was bummed . . . .**UPDATE- I said I'd add my comments about the mini vac & attachments once I've used so here I am... it works excellently just as the main Vacuum. It's also powerful unlike other handhelds that come apart + the attachment is sturdy and doesn't take away from the power either. Additional quick comment b/c it's now been used many times and still doesn't disappoint. Get this vacuum! ***I've been doing decent amounts of research on stick vacuums off & on for about a year now. My Mom purchaaed a Dyson and I immediately had a little bit of Dyson envy!Yes, i know this a Black & Decker review, I'm getting there.... the Dysons swivel head technology was the draw but also the amount it got up with little effort. To each is own, but for me, $500 on a vacuum wasn't happening.I looked into the 3 main features I just listed (swivel, ease & suckage), along with needing & wanting cordless and the mini vac option. This vacuum has all of that and so much more! It's filter is a good size and is placed on the front part of the stick as to have the convenience of getting under furniture, while still being easy to empty. There's a feature that detects rug or non rug automatically & switches accordingly, making that also convenient. It is not loud at all. It took 4.5 hrs to charge completely (all the while I impatiently kept checking). The amount of dust this vacuum sucked up and in only a few minutes, was not only astonishing but embarrassing as well. I'm a bit of a clean freak, so, I'm beyond impressed...The lights are a key design and seriously bright. Enough to use with little or no light as you would need for a quick spill clean up.This is all for the price of $100! I definitely recommend and suggest you purchase it!* I haven't had a chance to use the mini vac, but I will tomw and I'll update this review then.

Looking for a lightvweight stick vac to use between uses with a beast of a canister vac. I have a messy husband and a golden retriever, so married folk and dog lovers can relate. Put everything together and started in (it was not fullycharged, out of the box, so didn't last long). Fully charged, here's the scoop: it kind of pulls you along; it will stand upon its' own; almost fully made of plastic, so you have to be careful what you run over or bump into; it will pick up small debris from the doormat (indoor and outdoor); it is not powerful enough to "eat" the scatter rugs while picking stuff up from them; it's easy to dump out the dust cup and it holds quite a bit; the dust cup is easily washed and the foam disc pad that goes on top of the cyclonic unit; the unit will charge without replacing the dust cup (which is drying); easy to put together and easy to break down to clean; managed to sweep the entire house on onecharge, but didn't keep accurate time; the light in front illuminates all the dirt you need to clean up and things you missed. I'd say I like it so far.Some down-sides: the "owner's manual" is a joke as it is all pictures and warnings. I will visit the B&D website to find out if the plastic cyclonic unit can be washed and exactly how to remove the beater brush. Because it is plastic, I know that I will have to be extra careful when using this, but it is not my main vac, so it won't be getting the hard use that it does.If you want a good everyday alternative to a broom that will do some extra things, this might be the unit for you. It's a good price point and since I got mine on a Prime Day sale, it was a bit better. I'm on my second B&D Dustbuster in 15 years, so I think the brand speaks for itselfTWO DAYS LATER: contacted B&D directly with an email about cleaning the cyclonic unit and received a reply the next day. Yes, you can clean the unit. Also found additional foam filters on Amazon for a good price so one can be washed and be drying and another can be popped to keep going until the charge is done..

Nowadays, I would have to say that most things I purchase, I am disappointed in. This product is not in that category. I had purchased a black and decker vacuum years ago, It was one of the best I had ever purchased. This one I have to say, is even better!Good suction, lightweight, maneuvers very well with the tilting head and the light is great. A very good quality light vacuum, and I have had several of them. Definitely recommend, good job Black & Decker you've done it again.

I bought this cordless stick vac 13 months ago and so far it's still going strong. Battery life still lasts about the same as when it was brand new ~35 minutes. The suction has been great and picks up all the crumbs in the kitchen and the cat hair and everything else on the hardwood floors and a low pile area rug. I wouldn't recommend using this vac on a medium or high pile rug, it just isn't built for them. Not only will it wear down the batteries quickly, I can see it eventually burning out the motor. This vac has been a great purchase for me but like anything in life YMMV.
