BLACK+DECKER Stick Vacuum Cordless Rechargeable Lightweight Upright Vacuum Cleaner with LED Floor Lights, Multi-Surface, White POWERSERIES+ 16V MAX (BHFEA420J)

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.

I got this used at half the price. What can I say, it's a lightweight battery powered vacuum but it''s especially nice in that it stands on its own so you don't have to mount it and it does a very creditable job of minor vacuum messes. It has two features that make it very useful. One is that it has LED lights that really help you to see what is and isn't picked up; the other is that it automatically adjust the suction speed for carpets or bare floors. The second is a little bit hit and miss, but overall its useful. I mostly use it for cat litter getting tracked on Saltillo tile floors and its been terrific for that. The lights make the litter almost florescent, so it's easy to see if you miss something and it works better than any other vacuum for the uneven surface. But it does a good job on my area rugs as well.The capacity of the storage cup is pretty small but it's adequate and it's easier to empty and clean than other low cost battery vacuums I've used.

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.
