KEROMEE Cordless Vacuum

Not really. The KEROMEE BW520 does its best work on bare floors like wood and tile, and thin rugs are about as far as it goes. It isn't a carpet machine, so a home with wall-to-wall pile needs something built for that job, while apartments with hard floors and a few rugs suit it well.

Good on light debris, mostly. Crumbs and dust on hard floors come up well, and for the price the BW520's pull is solid. It isn't consistent across every unit, though: one picked up very little. KEROMEE quotes 8,000 Pa from a 120W motor, which puts it in light daily cleaning rather than deep cleaning.

At first, yes. A charge commonly lands at about 30 minutes, which matches KEROMEE's low-mode rating and outlasts what many expect from a 2600mAh pack. Ageing is the weak spot: one unit lost high mode after roughly 9 months and fell to about 10 minutes on low.

Yes. At 3 lb, the BW520 is light and compact, goes together quickly out of the box and runs comfortably in one hand. The brush head swings 120 degrees left and 90 degrees front to back, so it gets around table legs and into tight gaps without much effort.

Yes. It converts to a handheld for stairs, upholstery, car interiors and above-floor cleaning, and a crevice nozzle is included for windowsills, curtains and desk areas.
