Battery Issue – My first Dustbuster vacuum cleaner worked very well to the end of the warranty, then the battery started to play up and stops after 30 seconds! So, I… Read more
bought the newer model Dustbuster, after the end of the new cleaner's warranty, The battery started to play up, just like the old one, and last's just 10 - 15 second of vacuuming and then it stops working. Too bad Black & Decker could not fix the battery issue in all those years.!!!
Best dustbuster I've had. This one was bought from Godfreys when they still had shopfronts 2 or 3 years ago. The design is different to the usual… Read more
dustbusters and works better. I had bought traditionally shaped dustbusters over the years but was always disappointed. This one, on the other hand, is a stick shape and has a good amount of suction power. I'm glad I bought this item.
no offense, but you can hold the nozzle RIGHT UP to dust and debris and it just pushes it around ... doesn't actually suck it up. I reckon even a… Read more
feather is safe from this turkey!
I just presumed they had made something better than those old 'shovel-shaped' dustbusters from back in the day but if anything these are worse. they look great but they are incredibly loud and just don't have any sufficient suction ... do not mistake it as being in competition with a dyson-type handheld it is honestly a waste of money.

Probably one of the worst vaccums ever tbh, this is my 2nd one as the first was replaced due to it shocking everyone that used it this second one just spits everything out that it sucks up and has done since its second use. Would not reccomend.

Great suction but a nightmare to empty and clean – This machine just about lifts the carpet with its powerful suction and motorised head However, the dirt canister has such a weird design that it is… Read more
actually impossible to get all the dirt out of the convoluted channels. I have tried washing the canister with a hose jet and leaving it to dry for a day, but am unable to clean one dead end section. I am on the point of getting rid of it as I believe it is a health hazard for that reason.
I've only used it on carpets and rugs and it does a great job.
The battery life from full charge seems very short.
I am so grateful to find this terrific product! – I have been disappointed before with other brands. However, my Dad always swore by Black & Decker. So, I bought this brand. The price was comparable… Read more
with others - but the quality is beyond compare: It is splendid! I use it in the kitchen and bathroom. One water tank is sufficient for both. The floor dries very quickly, and then it feels like there is a layer of air between my shoes and the floor! Dirt disappears! The product is fast to use, and the attachable cloth is easy to clean. It is amazing! No wonder wise people buy reputable brands.
Terrible, dangerous, gives electric shocks – This vacuum cleaner is terribly dangerous, it gave me electric shocks!!! Show details

so you can get under your draws and cupboards. Not so good, battery at first was not to bad for lasting the duration on low setting doing a whole 4 bedroom house but now it doesn't make on a full charge any more after having it a couple months and it takes a couple hrs to charge. But does the job and good picking up dog hair. Empting is easy too.
Hubby and I bought this little steam mop from Big W in July 2025. We have used it weekly for 3 months and are using it on tiled floors exclusively. … Read more
THE PROS:
- It steam cleans nicely once it gets going.
- Its light and easy to use.
- It heats up quickly and you get surprisingly far with just the small tank of water.
- The cloth pad part is a very decent size and is easily machine washed. I like that it comes clean quickly and easily just hand washing too though, so I can keep going to new areas with a new clean pad, without the need to buy more mop heads.
- The cord is very useably long. I really appreciated this. You can reach almost everywhere before needing to refill the machine or move to another power point because the cord is so long.
- I like the hook on the back to hold the cord, excess as I'm going around can be looped so its not a trip hazard paired with wet floors.
- Comes standard with extra attachments for smaller areas or thigns that require a brush to clean.
- Being so slender its only a small area taken up in the broom cupboard when not in use.
- Reasonably priced and easily sourced from Big W
- Does a very decent job at actually cleaning the floor. It doesn't just smear the dirt and oil and grime around the floor. It does actually remove it and leave the floor shiny and smoothe once dry.
CONS:
- Hard to refill in confined spaces because the main water holding part does not come away from the frame. If you have short nozzle taps or small rooms this could be difficult to refill to get it in close enough to the tap but also account for its length. A small jug should've come with it for the refilling purposes but didn't.
- Seems cheap but what do you really expect for $80? It's plastic and flimsy and will definitely not last decades, but for a cheapy fast way to clean your floors this is a winner.
- I wish it had more steam ports. From what I can see, there is only the one in the centre of the pad. I wish i had at least 4 across the length of the pad to evenly distribute the heat, steam and water to wash the floor.
IMPROVEMENTS:
- I'd like a larger water tank for larger spaces. So you can keep going without having to stop and refill every few metres.
- An alarm to beep to warn when you're about to run out of water would be super helpful. There were several times where I forgot to check how much water was in the tank and it was just about all gone.
- Following this- a light to show you when you can safely turn on the steam function would also be super helpful. How soon is too soon? They say to wait 20 seconds but unless you get your phone or a timer out, who is actually going to be exact with that? A light that turns green when the device is ready to steam and mop would be great.
Overall, if you're after a cheap and easy to use device to get your floors cleaned this will do the job. But don't expect Bissell quality in device or cleaning functions. She's just a basic machine that does a basic job, but for those on a tight budget it does what it needs to do. It cleans floors and it does it well for a cheapy. I probably would buy again if I just needed a quick and easy steam mop. If you want something that provides industrial grade cleaning or machine build quality- this isn't the one for you.
Does not work! – I wanted a duster to get rid of pet hair on upholstery. I was told this would do the trick over another brand. It did not. I gave up on it and… Read more
purchased a more expense unit which works perfectly. Was doing a clean out and found the receipt. Apparently there’s a 2 year warranty on B&D products. I was shy of 1 month in bringing my disappointment to B&D’s attention so they couldn’t help me. For what you pay, it didn’t deliver. Might be best to explore other options.
Not good – This stick vacuum never worked well, the sucking power is so weak. It was cheap but still if it does struggle with bread crumbs is wasted money. … Read more
After one year the battery started to last much less than the 11 minutes stated on the box. Now, after about two years the battery won't last more than 30 seconds making any attempt of cleaning quite difficult and frustrating. The vacuum has been treated well as instructions given in the booklet and used only for light use on wooden floorboards.The battery is not replaceable so it is a disposable vacuum (as acknowledged by the customer support that told me to chuck it in the bin and buy a new one) that will contribute to increase the Australian landfill even more. Black+Decker refused to help being the warranty expired by one week.
Update 12/09/22: after further communication with the company they kindly agreed to replace the faulty unit with a new one, so well done Black+Decker, 4 stars to them.
Worst stick vacuum cleaner – Product: Black and Decker 36V 4-in-1 Cordless PowerSeries Extreme Stick Vacuum Cleaner BHFEV362DA-XE - Purchased on September 2022 from Catch. -… Read more
Around mid December 2022, battery was faulty and not charged. I lodged the faulty product to the service centre(De Rossi @ Lidcombe) of Black and Decker on 3rd January 2023 (Job # S257234). Early Feb 2023, I received a replacement product from Black and Decker.
- Early May 2023, the main unit (stick vacuum cleaner) was faulty and couldn't turn it on. On 09 May 2023, I lodged the faulty product to the service centre(De Rossi @ Lidcombe) of Black and Decker again (Job # S258954). I received the replacement product from Black and Decker around mid June 2023. - On 03/09/2023, I had the 3rd problem with the vacuum cleaner. The main unit (stick vacuum cleaner) was faulty and couldn't turn it on again. So I called Catch and this time requested for the full refund. I was told by Catch that they would need to check with Black and Decker and let me know updates.
As you can see, the above mentioned three problems happened just in 1 year....
I purchased a spare battery from Amazon and wasted the money as a result...
Never buy this product...
Just bought it. Cheap, good size, good suction. However, this model isn't listed in the booklet that came with it, and the list of tool is very… Read more
confusing. Nothing about tool in the description or on the box, so the buyer doesn't know what's included and what's not! Has only one tool - for crevices, no brush or anything else. That should be clearly stated in the booklet and description. Not knowing what one's buying is extremely annoying. Without a brush tool it's no good for me, am taking it back for refund. Big thumbs down!
