Pack a Punch with New Lithium Cordless Hand Vacs
TOWSON, MD (May 12, 2014) – BLACK+DECKER announces a new, full range of powerful cordless, Lithium Ion vacuums. The collection includes the 20V MAX* & 16V MAX* Lithium Flex™ Vacs with Floor Heads, the 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot™ Vac, and the 16V MAX* Lithium Hand Vac.
The adoption of the Lithium Ion battery platform has enhanced the performance of BLACK+DECKER’s handheld vacuums. Other types of batteries fade and lose suction, making it difficult for users to complete their cleaning task before running out of power. Instead, Lithium Ion batteries offer strong suction and fade-free power throughout their use. Users will now have confidence that they can complete tasks quickly, efficiently, and conveniently with this new collection of handheld vacuums.
20V MAX* & 16V MAX* Lithium Flex™ Vacs with Floor Heads
Finally a cordless vacuum that does it all; from floor to ceiling and everything in between, the 20V MAX* & 16V MAX*Lithium Flex Vacs with Floor Heads offer limitless versatility. Choose between the four foot extendable hose or the new stick vac attachment with pivoting floor head. Having an optional stick vac attachment makes this the ultimate in portable and 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. The compact design and lightweight yet powerful 20V MAX* & 16V MAX* lithium ion batteries, make it easy to take the Flex straight to the mess.
The 20V MAX* Flex comes with a rubberized pet hair brush attachment that makes cleaning up after Fido a cinch. It also features a removable, washable bowl and filter for thorough cleaning. Included with the Flex is a charging base with tool storage, a flip-up dusting brush, a crevice tool, and the stick vac attachment with pivoting floor head. Each of these attachments and extensions helps get in to hard-to-reach areas like under the table, in between car seats, stairs, ceiling fans, etc.
