Can I give it more stars?
I have vinyl, tiles and carpet and this works well on all of them. I think the low setting is enough even for carpets.
I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was. The spinning brush head is loud when it vibrates near walls etc though.
My only negative to report (so far) is that it only comes with a crevice tool and no brush or upholstery tool. I can’t evdn find any to purchase. :/
I’ve improvised a solution to cleaning my skirting boards by shoving the tip of the crevice tool into my old vac brush attachment. So far so good.

sed by the battery though. Great life and the option of easy and cheap replacement in the future. My last vac had atrocious battery life even from the start (5 mins?) and the battery was fused in and not replaceable. What a waste of a machine! Honestly, feels as good (dare I say, better?) than the brand leader’s popular stick vac. Feels like great quality and shows how terribly overpriced the other brand is. I guess the marketing campaigns they run are VERY expensive, and that’s what you’re paying extra for.Purchased in May 2021 at Big W for A$199.00.

It’s good when it works.
It’s light, nifty, and has good suction on both wooden floors and carpet. The fully charged battery, however, does not last 30 minutes which is a shame. It’s quieter than the vacuum it has replaced.

Bang for buck
This vacuum really surprised, performing much better than my expensive popular branded one. Works great across our floorboards, tiles and carpets and yet gentle enough on a low setting to tackle delicate rugs. If you’re planning on using it on the highest setting regularly then consider investing in a second battery for uninterrupted cleaning. The battery takes around 5 hours to get to full charge.

Very good cordless stick vac
For a cordless stick vac this unit works really well. We bought it on special for only $189 from Big W and this thing punches well above its weight. We just use it on medium setting (plenty of suction) and the battery life is around 15-20mins?, which is ok. An additional battery can be purchased for around $50 if you really need another one and this is way cheaper than a replacement battery for other stick vacs. It transitions seamlessly from hardwood floors to carpet and works well on both.
The only minor downsides are:
- the removable canist...Read more

Better than the Dyson V6!
The B&D is more robust that the Dyson V6 that I had. It has better suction and I really like the 3-power settings for different floor coverings (ie tiles and carpet). Also it is much easier to empty the container. The only drawback (which I believe is common with all cordless stick vacuums) is the battery life. This one lasts for up to 58mins on the low setting and less on the highest power setting. The other good thing is that there is a battery indicator on the stick so you know when you're going to run out of charge. Also the Lithium battery...Read more
charges up real quick - you don't need to leave it overnight! Overall, I believe it's a much better vacuum and it only cost me a third of the price! I paid $199 from Big W. Overall, I am really happy with it!Purchased in April 2021 at Big W Retail Stores for A$199.00.

Great Vacuum
Bought this for $199.00, instead of the Dyson for around $1,100.00 .
Heaps of Power, only need to put it on medium . I have a small 3-4 bedroom house and I can do it all on one battery, I can swap batteries if it goes flat as I bought a spare, it comes with a 2ah, I bought a 4ah and a fast charger as well, I believe you cannot do that with the Dyson .
I can use the same batteries on the black and decker drills I bought.
It comes with 2 x attachments the head and crevice tool, but I am hoping to get the brush attachment soon.
It has so mu...Read more

I have this vacuum and it has worked great for me so far. The only thing that I miss is a small brush attachment. Can this be purchased separate?

Yes, I believe you can order it from Bunnings, you just need to get the part number, I believe it may be cheaper from Bunnings as they have deliveries coming in all the time.
