Black & Decker® the inventors of the popular Dustbuster® vac and brand leaders in the home DIY market for decades, has launched a completely new range of fully integrated corded cylinder vacuum cleaners that bring style, convenience and power to home cleaning.

Following extensive customer research, Black & Decker® has developed a range of vacuum cleaners that meet the needs of the modern household. Responding to the needs of the modern consumer, the new range is based around an amazingly clever design that minimises the amount of storage required, so it is suitable even for the most compact domestic spaces. Moreover, the appliances are both modern and colourful, with a chic aesthetic that is bound to appeal to even the most design-conscious consumer.

Black & Decker® has developed a unique CLICK & GO system for all models in the Cylinder Vac in the range. The CLICK & GO system literally means that with a simple CLICK & GO the vacuum cleaners are ready for use anywhere in the home. CLICK & GO also removes the need for the awkward hose assembly so common with other vacuum cleaners. This makes the Cylinder Vacuum range very easy to store a boon to modern households, where space is at a premium.

There is a choice of either bagged or bagless cleaners in the new range, which features 1600w, 1700w or 1800w motors delivering all the cleaning performance anyone could need. Most of the range also has electronic variable speed control for maximum performance.

The tube on all Cylinder vac models is easily adjusted and is telescopic for maximum comfort and reach. This combined with the flexible hose gives a ten metre cleaning radius when completely extended, for total convenience. Moreover, a six metre cable means fewer interruptions to change power sockets, while a handy push-button cable rewind mechanism is standard for all models for hassle free storage.

Black & Decker® Cylinder Vacuum Cleaners also offer superb filtration performance and quality air output, which is great for those with asthma or a dust allergy. Depending on the model, the bagged cylinder vacuum cleaners incorporate a seven stage filtration system; while the top of the range 1800w model has a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration system.

The bagless models feature HEPA CleanStream® filters that help keep the air purer and the home cleaner and more hygienic. The CleanStream® filters from the makers of Gore-Tex® are surface filters, which feature a specially designed membrane that stops dirt and dust, while allowing clean air to pass through. HEPA filters guarantee 99.97% dust entrapment from air passing through the vacuum cleaner. The complete range also have full bag or bowl indicators to help in ensuring that cleaning performance is kept at optimum levels at all times.

Black & Decker® Cylinder Vacuum Cleaners are as versatile as they are stylish. An on-board removable caddy keeps all accessories within easy reach, while there is a choice of carrying positions for moving them around the home or keeping them in hand when vacuuming tricky areas such as stairs or furnishings.

An extra floor brush is included on the top of the range bagged and bagless models for use on wooden and laminate floors, plus rubber wheels mean no unsightly marks or scratches are left on wooden floors.

The cleaning convenience offered by the CLICK & GO system, combined with the extendable hose and telescopic tube, is reinforced on the bagged Cylinder vacs by the inclusion of easy-to-change paper debris bags with a generous 3.5l collection capacity.

The bagged Black & Decker® Cylinder Vacuum Cleaners are available, depending on model, in three contemporary colour ways red, yellow and blue on a grey base colour.

The Bagless models also provide ultimate convenience with an easy to empty 2.5l collection bowl. And style and colour are not forgotten because they come in silver and blue and silver and lilac.

The Black & Decker® Cylinder Vacuum Cleaners range is stylish, powerful, easy to use and designed to meet all domestic vacuuming requirements. So whatever your vacuuming needs there is a compact, easy to use Black & Decker® Cylinder Vac for you.
