Cordless vacuums are notorious for having dinky batteries that die after a few minutes of cleaning, but one that wowed us with its lasting power is on sale at Amazon today.

The Black and Decker Powerseries Extreme Cordless Vacuum earned our distinction as having the best battery life among hundreds of sweepers the PEOPLE shopping team tested for cleaning hardwood floors. We were impressed that it had a full battery on its indicator after our cleaning session.

The Powerseries Extreme lived up to its name during our testing: The vacuum had such powerful suction on its maximum setting that it lifted our carpet off the floor. It’s got three settings in total and LED lights on the floorhead to uncover hidden debris. Our tests also found that it was easy to maneuver around furniture — a huge plus for any vacuum — and that it worked well on multiple surfaces, including tile, carpet, and wood floors.

Another great feature of this model is that its battery slides right off, allowing you to always keep a spare charged, and it can be used to power other 20V Black and Decker tools. We also liked that it stands on its own, which negates the need to hang it on your wall or lean it precariously against one. Plus, it doubles as a handheld device, so you can tidy up between couch cushions, along stairs, on countertops, and more tough-to-reach spaces in your home.

“The battery lasts long enough for me to do a quick sweep of my entire tiny house in the most powerful mode,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The suction is better than my canister vacuum, to be honest.”

Another shopper agreed saying the Black and Decker has outperformed their corded vacuum. “It is picking up all sorts of dust and hair the big machine missed,” they wrote. “It is so much lighter and easier to maneuver that vacuuming is less of a chore.”
