For versatile, cleaning abilities the HVFE2150L can be used as a handheld cleaner, ideal for small jobs or taking out to the car, with its extension tube to retroflex a cylinder cleaner or with the supplied turbo-brush head for more serious upright-style floor cleaning duties.
Cleaning Ability
The HVFE2150L surely packs a fair bit of suction for a lightweight cleaner. Yet, in spite of this low mass, with the handle placed towards the back of the machine, it fees rather unbalanced in the hand and more unwieldy than its weight would suggest.
The HVFE2150L really comes into its own in upright mode, where it feels much more comfortable in the hand, it is well balanced and highly maneuverable. We nipped around a carpeted room in quick time using a gentle turn of the wrist to steer around obstacles.
Hold it at the very back of the curved handle to clean at arm height, desktops and sofa backs for example, and it will rotate forward unless you have a firm grip. Similarly, clip on the extension tube and it takes a fair hoist to raise it to head height to clean a high picture rail, for instance.
While this model does feel like it packs good suction through the small hand-held nozzle, a fair bit of that power seems dispersed by the wide floor-head, articulating neck and tubes. It is surely enough suck to quickly pick up surface dirt, but you will not get a deep down clean or be replacing your home’s main cleaner with this B&D model.
The HVFE2150L on stairs, we plumped for a mix of a first pass using the tube and floor-head and then a second pass into corners and crevices as a hand held. For surface dust and dirt, it picked up well and any residual dirt in corners and at edges was quickly dispatched on a second pass in handheld mode.

The ORA technology characteristics three individual chambers climaxing in 12 air-cyclone chambers to remove ever smaller dust particles.
