I wanted an inexpensive modern bag-less vacuum cleaner, went for this one as it seemed reasonably affordable and thought I would try it. I've got two family hand me down kirby's and an electrolux all of which have their issues and I decided I wanted something basically cheap and easy to use. Very happy with this. It filled a container from my living room on its first use. I find it lightweight and the ball roller thing that you push to turn it on is very easy to maneuver. I love having the hose attachment instantly available. Two months in I am extremely happy with this and would by it again.
I do have a couple observations that I dont really consider deal breakers but a minor inconvenience. The power cord is long enough, however it is attached to the base of unit and I keep stepping on it, I have to get in the habit of holding it in my hand while I steer. There is a little clip type attachment at the top of the handle, however the cord does not stay in there and falls off as soon as any pull is applied which is inevitable I dont find it to be useful. If the cord could be more permanently attached near the handle of the cleaner that would be nice, I might just zip tie it up there. In any case a minor nuisance but easy to deal with. The hose attachment is not terribly long but is long enough when I want to get a quick corner or ceiling cobweb. I usually have to lift the vacuum off the floor to reach the ceiling with the hose but i dont consider this a big deal is it is pretty lightweight. I'm 6' 200 lbs so lightweight for me might not be for you but I think its easy to handle in this way. Be aware that using the hose attachment does not stop the roller brush from spinning so if the bottom of the vacuum hits my bed spread while I'm reaching for a cobweb the brush grabs the comforter, just have to keep an eye on where the brush is if I'm lifting the unit and getting cobwebs. It sounds like a hassle but you hit something once then its easy to avoid. The tip of the hose is interesting, it has a folding brush thing that I think I like but does tend to flip up while in use. Again not a big deal and that little flip up brush works really well, I just cleaned my lampshades with it and it was perfect, not too much suction and did a wonderful job taking up the dirt.
I love it, few minor caveats, bang for the buck it's great for me and its working well two months in with weekly use.

The B&D Airswivel is the perfect budget vacuum
For starters, I had no idea black and decker made vacuums. So to see this was a surprise, and peaked my interest quite a lot! I had an old stick vacuum that was awful for my needs, had terrible suction, and felt like a cheap toy. I was in the market for a compact upright vacuum perfect for multi-floor environments and that has a space saving design. After several contenders and comparisons, I chose the airswivel. Here’s my breakdown review -Design: I’d be lying if i said the design of this unit didn’t make me gravitate towards it. It looks much more expensive than it is. In fact it compares stylistically on par with my parents Shark Navigator Swivel Plus (which is double the price of this guy). Typically vacuums look uninspired at this price range and feel terrible tiny or cheap. Not this one, despite being all plastic it feels well made even while being light as a feather (just 9lbs). The metallic and rubber handle is a plus and really adds to the look and feel. Rubber wheels are a plus for hardwood floors and tiles as well! The bristles on both the brush and pet tool feel solid.Features: I love that it included a pet brush tool. It’s perfect for my butterfly chair and pillows. I also have a mat at the front door and it’s great for that as well. I appreciate the 3-in-1 tool and love the mechanics of it being slider and flip activated for whatever type of accessory you want (brush tool, crevice tool, or upholstery tool). Keep in mind, I purchased the Versatile model, and this particular model has a much longer hose and power cord compared to the Lite and Pet models. Which is great.Suction and Performance: Listen, I doubted this guy for a moment when unboxed. I was definitely unsure if it was gonna give my area rug the deep clean it needed just from the look at its size and stature (they really made it compact!). But boy was I wrong. This thing is strong! The minute I turned it on, it was getting deep into my rug to the point where it required a little muscle to push! Sure it’s a workout, but that means it’s really digging and working it’s way into your carpet. It also performs wonderfully on my tile flooring throughout the rest of my space. It was visibly sucking up all the dust and dirt and debris surrounding it. Amazing. All the tools have great suction from the hose as well. The swivel feature is so great for my space, there’s a lot of tight corners. Navigation with this thing was smooth. On my area rug it was a bit tougher because of the suction making the glide less fluid but it’s workable still. It’s a little disappointing that the brush doesn’t turn off but I have to remember the price point. Typically that feature isn’t seen in this range but, neither is a swivel feature and at least I got that. Just from one session so much dirt and dust was lifted I couldn’t believe I was living in that filth. The dust cup dispenser is easy to use and is a nice capacity for regular use. Overall it cleans and it cleans really well! It’s small foot makes it easy to store and non invasive after you’re done cleaning.Bonuses: an extra belt was in the box which is great if any mishaps occur. All filters are washable, limiting money and time spent for orders of new filters.Conclusion: overall the B+D Airswivel is a great vacuum within the 50$ range. It gives carpets and rugs a nice deep clean, and sweeps through hard floors and leaves them spotless. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a compact vacuum that’s not lacking in power. I see this working at its best in smaller areas like apartments. It’s cleaning path is not the widest for larger homes. Keep that in mind. Other than that, this vacuum cleaner is great.
