Pack a Punch with New Lithium Cordless Handheld Vacs from BLACK+DECKER

Jeremy Lippenholz, Product Manager for Home Cleaning Products said, "Lithium Ion battery technology has enhanced the performance of BLACK+DECKER's handheld vacuums. Other types of batteries fade and lose suction, making it difficult for homeowners to complete their cleaning task before running out of power. Instead, Lithium Ion batteries offer strong suction and fade-free power throughout their use giving homeowners the confidence that they can complete tasks quickly and conveniently."

The lightweight and compact 20V MAX* & 16V MAX* Lithium Flex Vacs with Floor Heads offer limitless versatility and are the ultimate in portable, multi-functional vacuuming. No longer just a simple hand-carried vacuum, the Flex Vacs provide easy clean-up high or low, in the house or car, and on any floor surface – wood, tile, carpet, rugs, etc. Choose between the new stick vac attachment for floors or use the four foot extendable hose for detail work and hard-to-reach areas. Accessories include:

• Stick vac attachment with swivel floor head
• Rubberized pet hair brush attachment (20V only)
• Flip-up dusting brush
• Crevice tool
• Charging base with tool and accessory storage

Additionally, BLACK+DECKER's all-purpose 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot Vac has strong and consistent suction provided by the 20V MAX* Lithium Ion battery. The Pivot is not only powerful, but it's also compact and can be stored within easy reach to any mess. A distinctive pivoting nose feature enables easy cleaning for those hard to reach areas, such as under cupboards, above tall shelves, and in between couch cushions. Accessories include:

• Onboard crevice tool
• Onboard brush
• Charging base with tool storage
