The Black+Decker PowerSeries+ is built to integrate with an existing 20V Max battery ecosystem, making it a practical choice for those who already own compatible power tools. This unit features "Autosense" technology, which is designed to detect changes in floor types and adjust suction accordingly. While there is a slight delay when moving from hardwood to carpet, the feature helps manage battery life by only using high power when needed.
The design focuses on ergonomics, featuring a low center of gravity that helps reduce wrist strain during lateral cleaning motions. The V-shaped brush roll is effective at picking up short hair and small debris, though it may require more passes on very thick carpets. The cyclonic filtration is washable, helping to maintain the unit's performance without frequent part replacements.
Weighing approximately 5.6 pounds, the vacuum is sturdy enough for daily use while remaining portable. The dustbin gaskets are designed to provide a firm seal, though like all seals, they may show wear after a year of heavy use. The multi-LED floor lights provide high-contrast illumination, making it easier to see fine dust that might otherwise be missed on dark surfaces.
If you require a vacuum with a fully sealed HEPA system for allergy concerns, the Levoit Cordless Vacuum offers a certified filtration path.
Proper battery maintenance is key to the longevity of cordless tools, which are essential for a modern cleaning routine.
