BLACK+DECKERBagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Anti-Allergen HEPA Filer, Corded 1,200 Watt Motor & 5-Position Carpet Height Settings, Gray (BDXURV309G)

I had just moved into a new apartment and was in need of a vacuum. After much research, I stumbled on to the page for this vacuum. I was initially put off by some of the negative reviews before realizing they were for older models. Seeing that this vacuum had just come out and a video of it looked promising, I decided to risk it and put in an order.The chief complaints about the older models seem to have been resolved in this new one. There's a height adjustment and it works great with both bare floors and carpets. It's easy enough to switch between the main vacuum and the more compact extension. I was done with my one bedroom apartment in less than a half hour including cleanup after. There was definitely a good bit of dust caught inside, but there was still plenty of room. I feel this could easily do a two bedroom and maybe a three bedroom living space before needing to clean out the dust inside.There were some useful cleaning attachments for those with pets, but I didn't get a chance to test those out. All in all, this is a pretty good vacuum if you want the minimum amount of hassle with powerful enough suction to clean most anything up. I feel that any model a step above this would cost much more and be overkill for the average person. I'll have to see how well this performs after a year or so, but for now I'm pretty happy with my new vacuum.

This is the best “low” end vacuum cleaner made, it replaced a an 18 year old of the same make and model, value for the money.

I bought this upright Black and Decker bagless vacuum cleaner in 2023 mainly on the name of Black and Decker. The cord is very short and the wand doesn’t fit good, loss of suction, the cord is set low and gets caught up on your feet as you vacuum. My main gripe is that the vacuum doesn’t pick up small bits and pieces of paper or litter on the floor even on the hardwood floor settings. It scoots it out the back and you have to keep running over the little piece until it is vacuumed up. Not a good vacuum, but I paid over $100 for it so am stuck with it. Now I see by the other 1 star responders that Black and Decker no longer makes this unit. I wonder why? Look elsewhere other than Black And Decker for a vacuum is my advice. If this unit breaks down, (probably just when I need it the most), I will look closely at other brands that are generally only in the vacuum cleaner business.

I bought this because it was cheaper than most, but it is so much better than it's price! It picked up so much dirt and hair off my floors. It kind of makes the dust swirl around on hardwood but picks up so much from carpet, and I love the height adjustment. My complaint is that the accessories I got didn't fit onto the vacuum. My extended piece that should allow me to use the accessories wasn't made correctly so I'll have to jimmy-rig something to use the pet hair head. Also when I release the dirt trap it get onto the outside of the canister and can be a little messy.

Pros: I only used it once and so far it did a good job. Its powerful enough to pull kitty litter granules out of the carpet and the floor level option worked good on my kitchen and bathroom tile floor.Cons: The extension cord is not retractable, so you have to deal with wrapping it around the hooks at the back of the vaccum. Biggest issue... is the extension adapters for the hose DON'T FIT!! I tried and tried, twisted and prodded and couldn't get the adapter to fit into the hose. Fortunately, I didn't throw out my broken Biswell vaccum and was able to fit the extension adapter to the Black & Decker hose. Lastly, dumping out the dust bin was a pain. The debris doesn't fall out, you have to reach in and pull the debris out with your fingers. The more compacted, the more trouble. So don't let the dust bin get too full.For the reasonable price, its a powerful vaccum, but also for the price the adapters should fit.

Bought this through Amazon because I saved a few bucks. Vacuum cleaners are $150 and higher where I live. It work two times, today I was vacuuming and it stop as I was using it. The power is not gone out because the power light is still on. It’s just not working. I unplug and cleaned out the reservoir that keeps the dust and it still didn’t work. So I cleaned the filters and cleaned out the hose and voilà its back working again. Moral of the story if it stops working, clean it out thoroughly. So far the device works well.

I’ve had several crappy vacuums in my time, but this is not one of them. My household is full of hair both human and animal, and this guy handles it like a champ. Super easy to clean as well. However, might be a bit chunky for hauling up stairs if I had them.

This thing let me down from the get go. I bought it specifically for hardwood floors. First of all it’s loud as hell, then it did a horrible job. Like even going over the spot multiple times wouldn’t pick up loose dirt. No way to adjust the height any lower, so what the heck. I have one flat rug, that took very long to vacuum up the carpet freshener powder. I began to treat the thing like a red headed step child and put it through a shop vac style cleaning in an old storage space, needless to say that was the last day of the vacuums life. (Motor burnt out completely) I couldn’t even bare to look at the thing or clean it out, it died dirty and was thrown into the dumpster the same day where it belonged all along. Only 2 stars because the attachments were the only positive thing to say.
