BLACK+DECKER WDBD15 15-Litre, 1400 Watt, 16 KPa High Suction Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Blower with HEPA Filter and Reusable Dustbag (Red/Grey)

Good use at Home for daily cleaning

I really like this purchase of mine. Couldn't imagine the dust i was living in. This is a powerful shop-vac with ease to use and value for money.The product doesn't really need a demo. But I've been reading comments about "blower - vaccum working simultaneously". Well, in such vacuumes this is the norm. Air pulled in collects dust in the bag. Then it's further filtered by the HEPA filter and released back into the air (blower) after filtering dust and allergens. Makes sense right?. If it doesn't blow the vacuumed air out at the same time it pulls in, where will all that sucked in air go?I use the vac every third day, twice a week, and run it constantly for over half an hour to forty five minutes. It does get a bit warn, but not really a concern. U can constantly use for an hour and then let it rest for a bit to continue further use. I reckon that's not gonna be a problem at all.All in all, it's a worthy buy and an amazing product for cleaning your house up, thoroughly! Rather than just going for a vac meant for hard floors only, this one does a great job with upholstery, bedding, carpets etc.

Good product

1) The Build - Made up of quality plastic. Looks very sturdy. Size of 15 litres is good enough for a 3 bed room house. A mix of black and red makes the product very attractive. Assembly is easy. Slots provided to park the accessories are very useful. The power cord is allowed to wind up around the neck and there is provision to tuck the cord on itself. There should have been a provision to lodge the hose somewhere which is painfully lacking.2) The Function- Sucker is undoubtedly very strong. Hose is wide and tough, doesn't kink or bend easily. Though the curved handle proves annoying sometimes while cleaning wall hangings or curtains, there should have been a provision to use the hose without the curved portion. Number of accessories should have been more. Brushes must have been included in the set. I purchased them separately (VMTC basic accessories, fits this cleaner well). Bag is made up of good material and is reusable so no worries to purchase extra bags. I chose bagged one over bagless vacuum cleaners because I came across reviews stating that in some bagless units dust along with sucked in air comes out of the chamber while operating, so it becomes like cleaning from one end and littering from the other end. Central big hepa filter is mounted well over the sucker. In many reviews I read the complaint that blower works simultaneously but that is the property of all vacuum cleaners, somewhere the sucked in air has to exit, isn't it !Overall, a great and must have product by the reputed company. I am already using Black and Decker car cacuum cleaner since many years without any trouble and that made me take its product again.

Closing lid was not getting locked properly, Due to air leak dust indicator also not working & Scratch marks are in the item possibly an used item. Need to avoid these kind of quality issues. Time and energy totally waste. Hope in future they will correct these.

At this price point ( ₹4500) , this is a very good buy. Infact, barring the Amazon Basics W&D vaccum , this could be the cheapest one listed out here. It has very good suction and also the noise levels not so high. It is also very easy to handle and does not weigh much even if you had to carry it on hand. Where it fell falt for me is in the accessories provided . In addition to the suction hose and the extender, they are providing only 3 brushes out of the box. One for the floor cleaning, a small flat brush and a nozzle type one for cleaning corners. They decided not to provide an angular brush, which in my opinion is the most useful one . So when you decide to clean your window frames, you can't vaccum it effeciently. I had a Eureka Forbes nano type vaccum and I tried to use the angular brush provided by them. Guess what, the size doesn't match . So now I have to spend another ₹500 or so to get the additonal brush.Another thing that I didn't like is the quality of the plastics used in the brushes. The small flat one was already in a cracked state when I receive the product. They are not build to last unlike the Eureka Forbes accessories it seems. Other that these I am satisfied with the product performance so far.

Got it delivered today afternoon and by evening I cleaned 8 rooms, our stairs, 1 window, a sofa set and our car seats. Took around 50 minutes to clean 8 rooms and stairs with a 10 min break in-between. Love it!Suction power is really good especially when you clean the wooden surface, carpets and sofas. Even on hard floor tiles, it cleans decently. Suction and blow works at the same time.You get one floor brush, one sofa brush, one crevice nozzle, one dust bag, one sponge filter(for wet cleaning) and 3 extension tubes. Body is not cheap plastic but sturdy one.The sound is just like any other vaccum but bearable. Do take at least a 10 minute break after 20 minutes of cleaning.The motor heats up after 20 to 25 minutes of continuous cleaning. It is cumbersome to take it to the next room and plug it and clean it. But the cable length is decent 1 to 1.5 meters, so it reaches all the corners of a room and half of the length of our hall.Remember to clean the filter regularly. Wash your HEPA only if it is labelled as washable. It is not a good idea to rinse/wash your HEPA if it is not labelled as washable.You need to fill the warranty paper and send it to the given address within the specified time to claim the warranty of 6 months.Overall, all of us at home are satisfied with it after a single day use.A budget vacvum cleaner which does the job effectively.
