- Can it pick up water and dry debris in the same session?
- Yes, it is a wet and dry vacuum. Empty and dry the bin and filter between wet and dry use to keep the filter working well.
- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime is limited and drops on high suction or wet pickup. Expect to recharge between larger jobs, and keep a spare battery if you clean often.
- Is it good for carpets?
- It is aimed at hard floors. On carpet, pickup is weaker than a dedicated carpet vacuum, so use it mainly for hard surfaces and spills.
- Does the HEPA filter need replacing?
- The filter is washable on most Black & Decker wet/dry models, but it needs regular rinsing and full drying. Replace it when it stays clogged or damaged.
- How does it compare with a corded shop vac?
- It trades suction and unlimited runtime for cordless convenience. A corded shop vac wins on heavy debris and long jobs; this one wins on quick, portable cleanups.
- What is included in the box?
- Typically the vacuum, battery, charger and a crevice or utility nozzle. Check the listing for the exact attachments included.
