Cordless Upright without the weight

All tools on board to dust and vac my entire 23 sq house + alfresco without recharging! Wheels, led light, side brush, adjust to floor types, battery life indicator with huge dust bin, simple to empty and remove brushes for cleaning. This vac is perfect for me, 60 plus with arthritis and a long haired cat.

Purchased in August 2021 at Bunnings for $269.00.

Love it!

Brilliant cordless vacuum. Very handy for my pup that molts a lot, picks up the dog hair with ease. On my carpet and floorboards, it changes the power suction automatically depending on what your vacuuming. And the fact it converts to a handheld vacuum - is fabulous. Although I do believe it’s the turbo head on it that makes it super effective.

Purchased in January 2021 for $260.00.

Neat and versatile cordless vacuum

published

It performs great on all sorts of floors including all sorts of carpets i.e. shaggy rugs.
Suction power is decent but it could be a bit better.
Battery life is also decent but I imagine the battery capacity wouldn’t be enough for a place bigger than a two bedroom apartment. Battery lasts for 10-15 minutes while utilising the full vacuuming power.
Considering the great quality and competitive price, I would recommend this cordless vacuum for little households especially.

CUA525BHP (Pet)

Hello Black and Decker
Could you please tell me where I can buy the CUA525BHP from in New Zealand.

Sorry I dont know about NZ . I've been trying to buy another one for a friend that loves mine and they are out of stock everywhere in Australia. I've rang Black & Decker and was told they are not making them anymore ? Keep trying to locate it is worth the trouble, the best vacuum cleaner I have owned in 66 years

I've cleaned the filters but the red light still comes on - why?

Because when you replaced or cleaned the filter you have to apply a little pressure with the base of your hand and turn the plastic basket till it sits under the lugs or the light comes on give you a false reading to say it is full when it is not .

I was interested in purchasing this machine but I thought I better check out the availability of filters. The manual mentions that there are two filters that need changing every 6 to 9 months. I could only find one filter available at a couple of online stores after much searching and the other I could not find at all. Where do you get the replacement filters from?
