Black+Decker​ Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum Review

Having the ability to clean quick messes without the inconvenience of a restricting cord or the heavy hauling of a bulky vacuum is a dream come true for any homeowner. We may have found the Black+Decker Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum provides this reality. It offers 2-in-1 cleaning as a cordless stick vacuum that also incorporates a hand vacuum right inside the unit. ​

We’ve gone in depth on this Black and Decker 2 in 1 Cordless Stick Vacuum review below.

​Product Specs

Black+Decker Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum

The Black+Decker Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum is a vacuum you might really enjoy adding to your cleaning arsenal. As a stick vacuum, its convenience make it easy to grab out of the closet and do a quick clean. Where this vacuum really excels is with its separate handheld unit that can make easy work of small messes (or large) as it allows for simple removable cleaning.

The hand vacuum, as well as the standard vacuum set up, uses 40 air watts of suction combined with 12 air cyclones to lift and clean dirt away. This is relatively strong suction power for a stick vacuum and will give you plenty of cleaning strength for your entire home.

With its cordless ability, the BLACK+DECKER Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum makes it a hassle-free way to clean your home without having to worry about tangled cords or trip hazards.

For its cordless operation, the Black+Decker Cordless vacuum incorporates a 24-watt lithium-ion battery. This battery holds a charge for 15-20 minute. This should be plenty of time to vacuum your entire home or use on smaller messes over the course of a few days. Charging of the batteries takes a full five hours, which is about average for cordless stick vacuums.

Specs

You’ll appreciate the Black+Decker Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum’s ability to move around objects, corners, and edges with minimal effort. It incorporates swivel steering that allows it to make quick moves with ease, helping you to get that vacuuming done quickly.

It is easy to pull out and clean your whole home in a hurry, as it automatically senses the surface you are vacuuming. This automatic sensing technology adjusts for multiple carpet piles as well as hardwood or concrete floor surfaces, making it easy to run around and vacuum before guests arrive. You’ll never have to guess if you have the right setting again.

Accessories

For this review, and as stated in many other BLACK+DECKER Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum reviews, there ​weren’t any accessories included with the device. This limits your ability to clean every nook and cranny of your home. But let’s face it, a stick vacuum is more of a quick cleaning tool than a deep cleaning device. It is designed to do its exact cleaning job with ease.

Price

The price of the BLACK+DECKER Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum is around the average to the above average price range.

If price is your only concern, we’d recommend looking at the Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum. The Hoover is typically less expensive, and gets our vote for the best stick vacuum on the market. However, with the BLACK+DECKER, you get a 2-in1, which just might be worth the extra dollars. 

This is a minimal investment to make in a vacuum that offers cordless operation as well as a small handheld vacuum integrated right into it. In most instances, you would have to invest in two vacuum models to get the same capabilities as this cordless stick vacuum offers.

What We Like

The advantage of the Black+Decker cordless stick vacuum is its unique handheld vacuum operation. This is an ideal feature if you are a busy parent trying to stay on top of messes or a homeowner who wants a quick pick up to your car or a small floor mess. The handheld vacuum feature is a convenient option that offers you two vacuums in one.

We also think you’ll find the cordless operation a nice feature as you can literally whip around your home vacuuming anywhere and everywhere without limitations.  If that wasn’t enough, the Black+Decker Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum’s ability to automatically sense what type of flooring surface you are on and adjust accordingly is just a boon for a stick vacuum. ​

​Pros

• Cordless operation
• Handheld vacuum included
• Automatic surface sensing

What We Don’t Like

As much as we are enamored by the Black+Decker Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum, we did find some drawbacks we wanted to list. The fact the unit does not come with any accessories is a disappointment.

But, we are willing to overlook this as it offers so many great qualities. We aren’t really sure if you would even miss these tools. Plus, we find most homeowners rarely use them to their full capabilities.

Additionally, the charge time and battery runtime could be longer. But, this is Black+Decker’s first foray into the market with a model of this stature. We are hoping they advance the battery life and make it faster to charge in case you forget to plug it in after each use.

We also wish this vacuum was a little lighter. At 9 lb., it weighs more than some other cordless stick vacuum models we have seen. Although, it is still light enough to maneuver with relative ease.

Cons

• No accessories
• Limited run time
• Heavier weight

Final Thoughts

​The BLACK+DECKER Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum is a high value, dual-purpose cleaner that is highly convenient to use. You’ll have no trouble giving your home the once over with this vacuum as it offers everything you need and more to make cleaning your home a breeze. 

It is offered at a reasonable price and gives you two vacuums in one. ​Its 2-in-1 feature sets it apart from other cordless stick vacuums in its price class, and make it a highly recommended vacuum from us.
