Vacuums with cords are so 2017
Continuing its expansion in the vacuum market, it appears Black and Decker has taken the approach that the best way to win market share is by delivering superior products.
Gone are the days of lugging around a massive vacuum when a small cordless vac can do the job for you, cue the Black and Decker 2-in-1 cordless multipower pet vacuum cleaner.
The 2-in-1 cordless multipower pet vacuum cleaner is for those with pets and for ‘whatever life throws at you’, so if it is on the floor and smaller than the Black and Decker Vacuum – it can be cleaned up.
The 2-in-1 feature refers to the pull out mini vac that can be used to clean up places the vacuum head can’t or high and hard to reach places.
The Black and Decker vacuum is for those who have pets and need an easy solution to clean up their mess.
The Vacuum comes with a ‘pet beater bar’ which has been designed to pick up hairs on any surface. This beater bar easily picked up hair and never missed a single strand.
The vacuum’s suction power is 46Aw with a total battery energy of 45Wh. The whole vacuum is weighed at 3.85kg.
The Black and Decker vacuum has four different power settings, from min to max. The beater bar can be activated on the control panel which according to Black and Decker ‘ensures that even embedded dust and dirt are whisked away quickly’.
The vacuum has smart floor sensor technology meaning the device realises what surface is on and changes the amount of suction, for example on carpet you get more power than when the vacuum is on tiles.
The vacuum head has a LED light above it lighting the area surrounding the head. This was very useful in dark corners and poorly lit areas. Because of the dark carpet all through the house I would miss a few bits and pieces, but the light made sure nothing was left behind.
The vacuum has an ORA 12-Air Cyclone Technology separating debris from clean air to prevent clogs appearing in the first place.
Black and Decker says the battery on the device lasts for 60 minutes. To fully charge the vacuum it takes roughly six hours.
The battery took about five 10-minute jobs over two weeks to fully drain the battery. The power supply seems to be tailored to quick jobs rather than large cleaning jobs.
The multipower pet vacuum is priced at $269, an affordable price for a vacuum compared to other cordless devices which can cost upwards of $1500.
It is available now at The Good Guys.
