It worked great when I first bought it, except for the difficulty getting the canister out to dump it. I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. But, after about 2 weeks the brush stopped spinn8ng and it just started pushing the dirt and dog hair around the floor. I’m very disappointed now. I have shoulder problems and thought this would be my solution to the heavy vacuum.

This is a great little vacuum, but we have had two break in two years with normal usage. The suction is good for the size and the battery lasts long enough to clean a 1/2 bedroom apartment if you are quick. I wouldn't recommend if you want something that is going to last.

This is an amazing little powerhouse of a vacuum. The suction is great and adjusts to the floor surface, it is easy to clean both the collector and roller. The head swivels to easily reach corners. It's just great and cleans better than my large Hoover vacuum. I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Black+Decker POWERSERIES+ 20V MAX Stick Vacuum has become my new cleaning sidekick. It's super light—like, pick-it-up-with-two-fingers light—so I don’t feel like I’m going into battle every time I clean up a snack explosion or a trail of mystery crumbs. Battery life? Surprisingly solid. I can zip through several rooms on one charge and still have enough juice to chase down some dog hair tumbleweeds. Speaking of which—it totally handles pet hair like a pro, which is a miracle because my dog sheds like it’s her full-time job. It works great on both rugs and hard floors, and the way it gets under furniture makes me feel like a cleaning ninja. The only tiny complaint I have is the dustbin—it’s not the most graceful thing to empty, and I may or may not have created a dust cloud once or twice. Oops. But honestly, I use this vacuum every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and it makes those quick cleanups way less annoying. If you’re looking for something lightweight, cordless, and ready to tackle the chaos, this one’s a winner.
