BLACK+DECKER Powerseries Extreme Cordless Stick Vacuum

It depends on the 20V pack in it. A small pack covers a room or two, and on an all-carpet floor expect about 20 to 25 minutes. The battery is removable, so if you already own other BLACK+DECKER 20V tools you can swap in a larger pack to stretch a session on the Powerseries Extreme.

Not well. It's strong on hard floors and low rugs, but the low-set head struggles with textured carpet, rug edges and small throw rugs, and gritty debris like small stones can get left behind. The BSV2020G suits homes that are mostly hard floor with a few flat rugs.

It's mixed. Some find it quick to dump. Others find debris clinging around the filter, and the bin can be fiddly to take off or come loose during use. Expect to pick some debris off the Powerseries Extreme filter by hand now and then rather than just tipping it out.

It can. The weight sits up at the handle instead of down at the floor head, so longer sessions can tire your wrist, especially with a large battery fitted. It's listed at 10.5 lb. Short jobs on the Powerseries Extreme are fine; a whole house in one go is where you'll notice it.
