- Is the Black & Decker UprightSeries good for pet hair?
- Yes, for carpet. The motorized brush roll agitates pile and lifts hair, and the HEPA filter traps fine dust. On bare floors you will still need a crevice tool for corners.
- Does it work on hard floors?
- Yes. The five height settings let you raise the brush roll for tile and wood. Keep it on the higher setting so the spinning brush does not scatter debris.
- How loud is it?
- Loud. The 900 W motor is typical of corded uprights and is noticeably noisier than a battery stick vacuum. Expect to hear it through closed doors.
- What comes in the box?
- The vacuum, an on-board crevice tool and a dusting brush, plus the HEPA filter already fitted. Bags are not needed because the bin is bagless.
- How often should I clean the filter?
- Wash the HEPA filter every few weeks with normal use, and more often with pets. Let it dry fully before refitting, or suction will drop.
- When is it cheapest?
- Corded uprights of this class usually drop around back-to-school and Black Friday sales. Check the price history on this page before buying.
