POWERSERIES Extreme 20V MAX* Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

Surprising amount of suction. The brush is powering through the carpet and the suction is picking everything up so It isn't a breeze to push, it's busy grabbing everything out of the carpet. I love the vacuum but would warn elderly people that it is too heavy for them, a lot of weight right at the hand and it's not a breeze to push. I owned a more expensive cordless , the brand name starts with an e and ends with a lux. It was a great vacuum, I was very impressed with it, it was light and easy to push, did a very nice job but the battery faded and replacing it is very difficult. And with that said, this vacuum does a much better job than the more expensive one. There are caveats; It is heavy on the hands and it grabs and sucks up everything so it isn't a breeze to push. I want to be clear, it isn't hard to push, but if you are 80 years old and your arthritis is bothering you, it would be too much for you. Like I said in the title, this thing competes and might even out perform our 11AMP upright, when you vacuum with this thing you can see where you've been, it is surprisingly powerful. I highly recommend this product. And the replaceable batteries make it an easy choice. We have 4 Black and Decker devices that run on the same exact battery, 20 Volt lithium. We have the drill, lead blower, weed eater and the vacuum (happy with all of them). I don't know how they test battery the amount of time the battery last. It probably would last 50 minutes on wood floors? For us it's closer to 20-25 minutes (100% Carpeting with rugs) I can do the entire down stairs (1200 square feet) with one charge and if I need it for a longer period of time I can just swap the battery out with any of the other three we have. Again, I highly recommend this product.

I have many black and decker vacuums. And they are almost all car related. Even this one can break down to be portable. Black & decker is super cheap but they honor their warranties with lightning speed and zero hassle. Not everything is covered by warranty and warranties can be 1, 2, 3years etc. mostly 123 time frames tho. I've had some products that I let have it and aside from little minor things they are great still. This one I barely use but it performs fine. The fact that I can have multiple batteries so that I have a back up and one in the house charging is my main selling point and that alone coupled with the fact that unlike most no name vacuum brands it's not total trash. This one actually picks up dirt. The filter looks like something I would not want to replace tho. Although it pretty much will last a good long while. I even clean off my filter dry and reuse as well with the others so no reason why this wouldn't be the same. Use an old toothbrush some dawn soap good as newish. Aloha!

I have two of these and use them every day. I mounted them on the wall on their chargers. They're always ready to go; and being cordless and lightweight, they're never a hassle. I keep one in the basement in the "cat room" (where there's always bits of kitty litter around the litter boxes) and a quick pass with this vacuum keeps the carpet nice 'n clean! The other vacuum is mounted upstairs and it has more than enough power/suction to keep the carpets and floors spic 'n span. I'm hard-pressed to come up with anything negative to say about it other than the "hand vac" portion (when the lower assembly is detached) is not very effective. I still have an old Black & Decker hand vac that I defer to. But bottom line, this is a very useful vacuum; and I'm not seeing anything on the market (at this cost) that compares with it. Actually, I'm wondering if this model is still being manufactured in 2025.

I LOVE this cordless vacuum cleaner. The vacuum power is great! Have had several other types/brands, and the internal battery gets weaker and I am racing around my house to try and clean before the battery dies. After awhile, the battery doesn't charge at all and you end up throwing the whole vacuum cleaner in the garbage. I was hoping Black & Decker would have a cordless vacuum, and behold they did! It uses the same external battery as all of my lawn/garden tools. The battery holds a much longer charge so I'm NOT racing through the house; but if I use all the battery 'juice', I have another one already charged (because I have them from my other tools, but I can also purchase extra batteries if I want). Getting the dirt bin on and off is a little tricky but I'm getting better at it with time. Wish I had thought about looking into Black & Decker years ago. Would have saved me money and frustration. I definitely recommend this cordless vacuum cleaner.

I got this vacuum after reading lots of reviews and thought it would be a great option for our home. During the winter I thought it was a nice vacuum other than trying to suck up crumbs under the dining room table that my robot vac can't reach. however now that it is spring dirt, sand and rocks are coming in (i live on a farm and have 3 kids and 3 adults and a dog in our household) it is horrible. It doesn't have enough suction power to pick up small rocks and it will just leave them behind or worse fling them back at you when you go to move. This vacuum also doesn't like changing surface heights so if you have area rugs and exposed flooring it will not suck up where they meet. It clogs easily in the tube that goes from thr floor head to the pipe. Dirt bin is a horrible design to remove and replace on the unit. I only use this vacuum in our entryway, stairs and stairwell landing and part of our basement. So far the only thing I still like is I can make it short enough for my toddler to use. I also like that I can use the same batteries as my drills. It's fairly light weight which I also like. I guess I am still searching for a good vacuum that has the power i need to remove the dirt. The photos I posted are of the rocks it leaves behind. And the stair rug I already vacuumed.

Pros: - Does a great job! The finest particles and dog hair are easily taken care of. - Dust bin is easy to take apart for cleaning. - Manoeuvres well for getting into tight areas. - The attachment is handy for between furniture gaps. - Charger can be mounted on wall or not. Either way it's easy to recharge. - Flat carpet and laminate floors are no challenge. - Has 3 speeds. The lowest setting is good for laminate floor, the highest for low pile carpet. Cons: - Feels cheap, but so far it's holding up well. It's been several months now. - Bin is a bit tricky to reattach. You need to get some bits out with fingers, and the pre-filter falls out sometimes. - Turning it into a handheld tool is awkward as you need to press the button hard and wrestle it apart. I used a bit of vaseline to make it slide off easier but it's still needs some muscle. Seniors might have real trouble with that. Same goes for removing and cleaning the roller. It should be easier to disassemble these parts because you will eventually need to clean them to remove string or hair. - Stands upright, albeit tenuously. Could be sturdier. - The brush attachment is almost worthless, collapsing when pressed even lightly. (See video) The attachment mount is a bit bulkier than it should be. (See image) Overall: I like it. It is a great vacuum for an apartment or small home, even with pets. Because it's so easy to maneuver it encourages me to vacuum more often. After using a canister vacuum and an upright with bag, this was a game changer. I would never go back now. UPDATE: I was emptying the dust bin when the pre-filter fell in the garbage. The garbage was gone before I realized my error. The window for a return was well closed by then but I contacted the seller — fully expecting them to say "tough luck", but to my surprise they offered to send out a replacement part. The new pre-filter is a different design. It has turbo-charged my vacuum and it can't fall out. In a world where companies are notorious for terrible customer service, this response made me feel so happy and relieved! The product now deserves the full 5 stars! Buy it. Good client support deserves your patronage.

In Dubai, 240 V

Got this to replace a Dibea cordless vacuum. The main reason was the replacable battery - I was already invested in other Black & Decker tools (weed wacker, drill, jigsaw, and leaf blower), so I had quite a few 20V batteries and chargers lying around. The problem with the Dibea was two fold: 1. If you ran it at high power the battery would die quickly (about 10-12 minutes), and then you would have to wait a few hours for the battery to recharge before finishing your vacuuming. 2. If you ran it at the lower power it picked up the dirt ok and the battery would last longer but the suction would be minimal and part of the dirt/hairs would wind around the power head’s spinning brush and eventually work its way into the connection at the end of the brush and jam/damage the drive mechanism. The Black & Decker battery also only lasts about 10 minutes or so on its fastest speed, but I have a LOT of replaceable batteries 😀! And the roller mechanism remains clear of debris at this high suction speed. I also worry about the Black & Decker air filter plugging up and slowing down the suction, so I bought a package with four replacement filters. I can wash one of them and let it dry while continuing on with one of the other ones. Now this vacuum is new to me so I don’t know how it will perform long term. But the initial impressions are good. Update Dec-21-2023: Things continue to go well with this vacuum. I purchased a 5 amp hour battery: Ahomtikk 20V MAX Replacement for Black and Decker 20V Lithium Battey LBXR20 LB20 LBX20 LBXR2020-OPE LBXR20B-2 LB2X4020 Compatible with Black&Decker 20 Volt Battery https://a.co/d/bYh6HCB This 5 amp-hour battery is physically about twice as deep as the original battery (and maybe about 40% heavier) but it still allows the vacuum to hang from its wall mount with the battery installed and charging. I was a bit concerned that I might notice the extra weight with the larger battery installed, but it feels about the same to me. It took just over 6 hours to charge the battery after I received it - long enough that I was a bit concerned that it might never fully charge, but it finally finished (I suspect that it came with at least a partial charge and I haven’t yet measured how long it takes to fully charge a dead battery). The good part is it allowed the vacuum to run for just under 30 minutes (measured twice so far) on high speed. This is almost 3x as long as with the original battery. No idea how long the battery will last but so far so good. I have yet to have any kind of issue with the power head collecting any kind of debris around the two ends of the spinning brush, so that continues to be a win. Emptying debris from the dirt canister is a bit messy - originally I pulled it apart and cleaned the individual sections under running water (including the filter) as recommended. But if you wanted to continue vacuuming, you had to dry the parts and replace the filter with a fresh one. Recently I tried using the compressed air duster (I use the Koonie Cordless Air Duster sold on Amazon for $69 and a $20 off coupon) that I had purchased to blow dirt out of my computer. You take the vacuum canister outside and just blow the dirt out of it. Then you pull the filter section off the top and blow it out as well. This only takes a couple of minutes and it seems to work well since the filter looks as clean as it does after I wash it (though I will probably still occasionally wash it just to make sure). Since this doesn’t involve water, the vacuum is immediately available to continue vacuuming - and you don’t have to bother hunting down another filter.

Se nota bastante la suciedad que recoge cuando abro compartimiento (pelusa, polvo, cabello) que no lograba con una escoba tradicional, pero tiene algunas desventajas por lo que aún uso la escoba tradicional para los objetos “grandes” como palomitas, cacahuates, cáscara, etc. Puntuación que le doy para aspirar las cosas más comunes que salen diario en mi casa: Polvo 10 Pelusa 10 Cabello corto 10 Pelo de gato 10 Arena de gato 8 (Máxima potencia) Cabello largo 7 (Algunos quedan en rodillo) Croquetas gato 6 (tengo que alzarla) Piedritas 0 (no las levanta) Palillos de dientes 0 (se atoran en el rodillo) En general ayuda bastante, porque cuando usaba la escoba levantaba mucho polvo y parecía que sólo movía polvo de un lugar a otro, todos mis muebles se empolvaban muy rápido, dolor en los ojos diario por el polvo levantado, se hacía pelusa por el polvo y la estática, etc... La luz led es fabulosa, no compraría otra que no traiga ese sistema porque ves partículas que a simple vista no se notan, incluso me gusta más aspirar con las luces apagadas porque contrasta mejor dónde hay polvo, pelusa, etc. El sistema de recolección de basura se puede desarmar completamente por si algo se llegara a atorar en la “hélice” interna. Ahora lo negativo: Hay basura que le queda grande y no pueden pasar por el sistema de rodillos , aunque sean ligeros pero sí son “grandes” (palomitas, croquetas, etc) no pasan al rodillo, se tiene que levantar un poco el rodillo para que esos objetos logren entrar en la boca de la aspiradora ó usar el accesorio que trae (aunque estar cambiando entre accesorios no es práctico). Otro punto negativo es que el cabello largo se enreda con relativa facilidad por lo que si en tu casa tienes caída de cabello largo (sobre todo de mujer) vas a tener que estar desenredando, aunque no es algo muy complicado, sí que es un inconveniente. El siguiente es el peso, en piso parejo no se siente y es relativamente cómodo que un niño de 7 años puede aspirar pero en escaleras es donde sentirás el peso y llega a cansar al estarlo levantando entre los escalones. Las esquinas son un poco difícil de accesar pero creo que cualquier aspiradora lo tendría y se puede apoyar uno un poco con el accesorio que incluyen. Algo ruidoso, pero es hasta cierto punto algo “normal” para cualquier aspiradoras. De vez en cuando se llega a obstruir el tubo principal y pensarán que después de un tiempo ya no sirve o que disminuye su potencia, hay que quitarle el rodillo para ver que nada se haya atorado y esté obstruyendo. Con el seguro gris (foto) y algún desarmador se levanta el rodillo. ¿Volvería a comprarla? Muy probablemente, aunque sí encontrara otra más ligera con sistema anti enredo de cabello, creo que me iría por esa otra.

La aspiradora cumple su función. Escogí este modelo, porque el que le sigue solo tiene extra los accesorios para mascotas. Aspira adecuadamente, con manejo de velocidades que hacen rendir la batería. En mi casa no tenemos tapetes o alfombras, así que no la he probado en esos entornos. La batería basta para limpiar adecuadamente cuatro o cinco habitaciones de 4x4 mts y esto puede ser una limitante para casas grandes, ya que la batería provista tarda unas cuatro horas en volverse a cargar completamente. El problema principal con esta aspiradora es el diseño del depósito para la basura. Consta de un cilindro externo con una espiral que envuelve un cilindro interno más pequeño hecho de una malla. El cilindro central conecta con una sección donde está el filtro de polvo. El depósito se conecta a la aspiradora mediante un acceso que está bloqueado por una compuerta de hule unidireccional. La espiral no está unida con el cilindro externo, lo que provoca que la basura se acumule y atore entre la espiral y el cilindro externo. El cilindro interno acumula parte de la pelusa, cabello y otros objetos y como está envuelto por la espiral es complicado remover dichos restos; he tenido que recurrir a lápices y otros objetos para intentarlo. La compuerta de hule, no sella adecuadamente, lo que provoca que en ocasiones, la basura regrese y "salpique" al momento de remover el depósito. El polvo más fino pasa a la cámara del filtro, donde se retiene, pero por algún motivo, mi depósito guarda el polvo entre dos secciones de plástico que es imposible limpiar. La base de carga donde se guinda la aspiradora, permite acomodarla de modo que no estorbe o quede al paso, aunque atornillarla a la pared me resultó complicado pues para esta tarea, yo uso un desarmador eléctrico con puntas intercambiables que no cabe en los accesos para los tornillos. Aparte del producto, mi problema fue con el servicio de Amazon, ya que al darme cuenta que el pronóstico de fecha de entrega tardaría tres meses, decidí cancelar la orden, cosa que fue imposible de hacer aunque lo intenté al menos cinco veces. El producto llegó al mes de la solicitud.
