Black & Decker BDST1609 3-in-1 Corded Lightweight Handheld Cleaner & Stick Vacuum Cleaner, White with Aqua Blue

I purchased this because of the "Good" reviews. it does have a lot of suction, I was impressed with this due to being kind of small. It did pick up all the areas I was cleaning, (hard wood floors, carpet and rugs). I mainly bought this for quick cleaning but had to try it out in all the rooms. The vacuum head is about the size of a paint roller, easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean, I have read the low reviews but I think the reason dirt or dust would stick in the forefront of the canister is if the canister was damp, maybe from cleaning up wet spills and then going to dry. Swivels very well. If using on small rugs, you probably have to vacuum one way and then come back the opposite way, but it does do small area rugs and it did pick up the pet hair off of the rugs, and dust as well. I only hope it doesn't break as the other reviews states. I will definitely put it to the test within my 30 days. lol. Will update again soon.update 12/17/2020: The air vents do blow pet hair and dust away from the vacuum unit, not sure what I want to do with this now :-(

This vacuum is amazing, it is so light weight my 2 1/2 twin boys take turns using it vs their toy one, (opinion their interest to help in that department continues lol) love the fact the filter is washable, super suction for just a little vacuum, and the attachments are easy to change up, the entire thing is great on the surfaces I have used it on which are carpet, hard wood & my microfiber style couch. (It does not have rollers on the main vacuum attachment it's like a little rubbery strip that works great for pushing things forward! Awesome purchase for price and what I was looking for! I was tiered of lugging my big vacuum up and down floors, same for my income vacuum system (honestly though I think this little vacuum works better then my in home vacuum system anyways)

The media could not be loaded. Purchased this to replace an old cheaper lightweight vacuum cleaner.Pros:* Lightweight* Easy to maneuver under pieces of furniture (my old one doesn't have this feature. Definitely a great one).* Decent suction for a handheld vac.* Hook to hold the cord close to the handle.* Sturdy design.* Filter seems to stand several washes and quick drying time.Cons:* There's no where to store the extra attachment. This is the same issue I had with my old one. I ended up losing the piece.* One con that immediately discouraged me. The motor fan is located to the sides, with the vent pointing almost directly down, blowing a lot of the dirt/dust and in my case fur out of the way and everywhere else. This is why I gave it 4 stars.It will definitely take a little while to figure out the best way to avoid that issue but I'll still keep it because I got it to use it upstairs, since my dog doesn't go up.Keep in mind, this is not meant for carpet. We have exposed hardwood floors everywhere so it works just fine.Overall I definitely find it better than my old one, which I paid about the same price for but it was definitely cheaper quality.

I got this for a few reasons:Easy to assemble, very lightweight, easy maneuverability, plug in so no waiting for charging, no brush roll so hair doesn't get tangled in it, dust cup and filter, multiple options for cleaning (dust buster etc), and of course the cheap price.How it ended up:It's a stick vaccuum so it's not for anything that requires strong suction such as thick carpeting which I unfortunately have. I think it's just barely too thick ugh. So when I use it, I have to really lean into it to make it suction better (I hope I achieve this anyway, otherwise I'm killing my back for nothing lol).The cord is very short lol. I can not reach the other ends of the bdrm or living room using the the same outlets in each room. I use a bdrm outlet for the bdrm and I have to plug it into another bdrm outlet for the rest of the bdrm, kind of a hassle! The bdrm is a bit long but geez it's not a mansion lol. It's a very basic 1 bdrm apt!The size is very small and easy to assemble, when I first opened the box, I was shocked how small the box was lol. Unfortunately mine doesn't stay upright on its own, so you do have to always have it leaning on something. To empty the dust cup, you basically have to disassemble part of it and then reassemble. That's annoying. And there isn't anything to attach the extra tool to on the vaccuum so it just sits freely near it lol.I could go on lol. Maybe I should have returned it but oh well. I didn't want to deal with that during the pandemic. It could be ideal for you if your home situation is different and better for it than mine is. I should have listened to warnings.
