✅ Features of BLACK+DECKER BHFEA640WG Cordless Stick Vacuum

The BLACK+DECKER cordless stick vacuum boasts impressive suction, claiming to have the most suction power compared to other BLACK+DECKER cordless stick models. It offers a runtime of up to 35 minutes in stick vacuum mode and up to 45 minutes when used as a handheld.

This vacuum incorporates Edge Cleaning Technology to effectively clean along edges and sides. Its Anti-Allergen 6-Stage filtration system claims to capture 99.9% of dust particles, sized 0.3 Microns or larger. Furthermore, an Anti-Tangle Beater Bar is designed to minimize hair wrapping, and LED Headlights illuminate hidden dirt. The Cyclonic filtration system aims to maintain filter cleanliness for sustained performance.

Storage is facilitated by a self-standing design for easy charging and a low-profile wall mount. It easily transforms into a hand vacuum for cleaning stairs, furniture, and other challenging areas. Accessories are readily accessible via the on-pole accessory holder.

The dustbowl is designed for easy emptying, and the Anti-Tangle Beater Bar is easily removable for maintenance. The washable filter should be washed and replaced every 6 months (BHFEBF1). A wall mount is included for convenient storage.

✅ What we like about BLACK+DECKER BHFEA640WG Cordless Stick Vacuum

This vacuum is incredibly convenient. The cordless design makes it easy to grab for quick cleanups, and I don't have to deal with annoying extension cords. Plus, it's compact, so it doesn't hog a bunch of storage space.

I've been impressed with its performance on area rugs and carpets. It cleans surprisingly well for a smaller vacuum. The headlight is a great feature too; it really helps to illuminate dirt and dust that you might otherwise miss.

The included attachments are a definite plus, giving you versatility for different cleaning tasks. The edge side brushes are also effective at cleaning along baseboards and furniture edges, although I've read that some users have experienced wear on these over time.

Emptying the dust collection tank is a breeze, and the washable filters are great for keeping dust and odors out of the exhaust air. The wall mount makes storage simple and out of the way.

Battery life is pretty good, and the charging is fairly fast. I've also found it to be quite durable, holding up well over time, even surviving the occasional accidental drop without issue.
