BLACK+DECKER Versatile Upright 3-in-1 VacuumI'm sure a lot of you parents have started your back to campus shopping for your children who are going off to college. My daughters are a few years into college, so they already know the basic essentials that they need in their apartments/dorms, with one of those essentials being a vacuum cleaner. You know college kids, they make messes. Maybe not nearly as much mess as a small toddler, but definitely still a significant amount of mess. With that in mind, on my list of dorm essentials would be a vacuum cleaner! |
Black + Decker’s ultra-lightweight Stick Vacuum with 3-in-1 versatility is perfect for quickly cleaning everyday messes on multiple surfaces. You have the ability to tackle hardwood floors with agile swivel steering, messes as they happen with the removable hand vacuum and conquer stairs with the handheld plus floor head. This powerful, efficient and affordable vacuum is ideal college students, as it can be used for fast and convenient clean-up. My daughter recently bought herself a new car as a part of her back to campus shopping, so naturally, she has been trying to take great care of her car, keeping it as clean as possible. However, my daughters love going to the beach. I'm sure you can already imagine that Sand + New Car = Not a Good Combination. |
All her beach gear goes in the trunk and her sandy feet go into the car. She hasn't gotten around to buying mats for her car, so the option of taking the mats out and dusting them to remove the sand isn't an option.
Product Features
- 3-in-1 Versatile Clean-Up Solution
- Ultra Lightweight & Swivel Steering
- Powerful Motor and Unlimited Runtime
The vacuum comes with different attachments (as pictured below) that make this vacuum cleaner versatile and convenient for everyday messes.
Before and After
As I mentioned before, my daughter's car has a ton of sand in it. Because of this vacuum cleaner's 3 in 1 versatility, she was able to use the handheld version of the vacuum to clean up all the sand remnants in her car. The pictures below are the before and after (you might have to zoom in) of the sand remnants in her trunk. In the picture on the left you can see all the sand particles, and the picture on the right shows her car all clean again!
Final Thoughts
This is a corded vacuum, so we did have to plug in the vacuum outside in order to vacuum the cord. The cord length was long enough, and we didn't feel like we were stuck right by the outlet. The first thing we noticed that the vacuum was quite loud outdoors, so I'm not sure how it would be using it in a quieter dorm setting with roommates. However, we were really impressed with how strong the vacuum cleaner was, being able to pick up tiny grains of sand.
Overall, this was the perfect vacuum that my daughter needed to have as a convenient tool to clean her car whenever needed. She will also definitely be using this in her college apartment, as it's a powerful vacuum, for a reasonable price.
