Continuation of below...I reassembled vacuum and still had power loss, which I suspected would happen, I was hoping for resolution, though, because now I knew I had dying batteries (after 1 yr. 8 months & heavy use). I was afraid they'd cost more to replace then the vac is worth, but at "Batteries Plus Bulbs" they sold me the 10 batteries I needed and did all the re-soldering for $34.63. Now my Flex is like new. The B&D Pivot is better. More power (18v for Pivot vs. 12v for Flex), same cost.

Lovely review many thanks! I use a wheelchair and needed something like this that was cordless. Mine arrives tomorrow can't wait!

Thank you so much for yr video.I was looking for the manual and your illustration is useful.

I've had the B&D Flex for 1 year and 8 months. It began losing power a few weeks ago. I completely disassembled it, and I believe you MUST do this approx. ea. 2 years. Mine was incredibly dirty, every part. I washed/ran under water every piece (except motor & batteries, they got toothbrushed), the thin exhaust filter was clogged. Whole vac was absolutely full of pet hair & cat litter. The Flex is not hard to disassemble, I labled screws & took a couple photos for reassembly. Continued above...

After my 2 comments below...I think the Flexi is a very good vacuum. It has enough suction, sufficient battery time, and having the hose & tools helps get into tight places. I just don't want you to throw it away in 1.5 years because it's lost performance. B&D says 1.5 yrs on the batteries. I got 1.7! Totally disassembling, I mean EVERY part, & cleaning mine was necessary, as well as new batts ($34). B&D Pivot = more power, same price, but won't get tight places as easily. Flexi is a good vac.

The B&D Flexi is a good vac, but I use my B&D Pivot more often because it's smaller, more powerful, & easier to clean, but it can't get the super-tight places the Flexi's hose & tools can get into. Both are the same price in the U.S. ($60) but Pivot has more power (18 volts), Flexi is 12 volts. Flexi also has more places suction could be lost but still does a good job. It will be necessary to disassemble (not hard) & clean these (& replace batts.) unless you want to buy a new vac ea. 1.5 yrs.

Just saw this on the Walmart website, I was looking fro something portable to use in the car, Great review, definitely buying one myself!

Everything works great!

Thanks! I need a vac that will clean window sills/tracks etc. without the weight of a shop vac. This looks like a great choice!

*There should be an app called "things that work like their supposed to"🌼 **allabout.wiki/Cordless** I had a Bissell bolt and it's internal battery failed. I did not know that it could not be replaced when I bought it. The Hoover out performs the Bissell in every way possible. Twice the suction, even picks up pine needles which the Bissell would just push around. The control switch from floor to carpet is controlled by your thumb and allows for immediate transition. This machine works!*

Next time let us here how loud the vacuum is instead of muting the motor sound.

Yeah, there's no way that's correct, Black&Decker's website even states that it's only about 10-12 minutes of run time after a 21-hour charge.
