Innovation Meets Modern Style
with the Black & Decker Platinum Lithium Vacuum Series
Embrace the Luxury in Cleaning
TOWSON, Md.
(September 5, 2012) –Black & Decker® (NYSE: SWK) launches
the all-new 20V MAX* Platinum lithium vacuum series. This elegantly designed
performance line raises the bar for what shoppers can expect from a hand vac.
The Platinum series vacuums with
Signature ID feature lithium technology, giving users strong suction for the
duration of the battery charge and long battery life year after year. The powerful, lightweight units each hold a charge up
to 18 months. Thanks to Black & Decker’s SmartCharge system, battery
charging is digitally managed, eliminating memory effect.
“The
20V MAX* Platinum series places consumers at the intersection of luxury and
style with a premium vacuum series,” said Austin Wilcox, product manager, Black
& Decker. “With lithium-ion technology, the Platinum series
products maintain strong suction over long runtimes, allowing users to tackle
big messes around
the home, office or workshop.”
The Platinum series features three units, sure to fit the
most discerning user’s needs: The BDH2000FL, BDH2000SL, and BDH2000L.
The versatile BDH2000FL FLEX™ vacuum maintains strong
suction 2X longer than the Black & Decker Ni-Cd unit‡ and features
an innovative four-foot flexible hose that allows users to access hard to reach
areas and tight spots. The hose wraps around the unit for neat storage and
portability. The vacuum also includes a charging base with charge indication
and tool storage. Accessories included are a pet hair tool, crevice tool,
and a 2-in-1 brush tool. Long lasting suction is ensured by its electronics,
three layers of filtration, cyclonic action, and a filter cleaning tool.
Additionally, the filter is dishwasher safe and the bowl can be emptied with the
simple touch of a button.
The BDH2000SL vacuum offers
huge power in a lightweight design.
Offering the versatility of a replaceable battery and an innovative,
ergonomic handle, this compact vacuum allows users to tackle large messes with
ease. While weighing only 2.7lbs, this powerful unit maintains strong suction
2X longer than the comparable Black & Decker Ni-Cd unitα and
includes a charger with charge indicator light, washable filter, crevice tool
and brush.
The sleek BDH2000L vacuum features
a rotating slim nozzle with a built-in crevice tool and flip-up brush and is
ideal for everyday cleanup of dust, pet hair and crumbs. The triple layer, cyclonic
action filtration system helps keep dirt off the filter so users can blast
through large messes with long-lasting suction power. With its stylish design and washable filter
and bowl, users can confidently display this vacuum in their living or dining
room, keeping cleaning power handy when and where they need it most. The unit empties in one, mess-free step and comes
with a charging base, charge indicator light, and weighs less than three
pounds.
The
all-new 20V MAX* Platinum BDH2000FL, BDH2000SL and BDH2000L vacuums will be
available October 2012 for $149.99, $99.99 and $89.99 respectively. Each unit
will come with a limited three year guarantee and will be available only online
