Does this model have an undicator that shows when charging has been completed (to avoid over-charging, which can be a problem with B&amp;D hand-vacs)?

No, charging light stays on all the time. I leave it plugged in all the time and have used it till it is completely dead. It doesn't seem to have lost any time per charge yet. So far the only draw back I have with it is that there is no wall mount for it.

Yes, the battery and charger are separate units. The charger I received was smaller than the charger that came with my other Black & Decker tools, this unit slides over the post on the battery. The charger is very small but convenient if you are limited on counter space. The vacuum has much more suction than I imagined - it is a nice thing to have! Hope this helps.

I havent noticed any overcharging issues with mine. It indicates when each battery is fully charged.

This is not official, since there is no doucmentaion on this subject, but the way i do it, is pull it out, when the battery charger stops its animation (empty, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full and repeat) Damn i wish there was more documentation that came with this player. It could've been great. And yes, i already overcharged mine, it only last now for about 4 hours after a day of charging.

There is one light in the bottom left corner on the side with all of the B&D; and warning info. It is red when charging and changes to green when charged. Hope this helps.

No battery charge indicator. Not even an indicator to let you know the charging is complete. All it has is a blinking led telling you it is charging, but it never stops blinking!

There is a wall wort that plugs into the vacuum, on the handle. Not much trouble, but it would be cool if you could just charge on the hanger!

The light stays on anytime the Vac is plugged in. It does not go out when it is fully charged.

No charger with this bare tool. They're available from numerous sources online (obviously including Amazon) but I don't know how much they cost. I bought the vacuum at the same time and it came with a battery and charger.

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

I can only guess at this but I would look at the charger itself. If the red light is showing when plugged into outlet and it does not turn green, then I would assume you would need a replacement battery. If light not showing then I would purchase the charger. However, I had a similar issue with one of my sweepers. I happen to have two sweepers so it was an easy check for me. I thought the battery was not charging because I could not get the sweeper to work. The battery light on charger showed green or charged, bur when I plugged it into the the sweeper, it would not work. Turned out that the sweeper itself was not working, the battery and charger were just fine. I can only guess at this but I would look at the charger itself.

I plug mine in and a blue light turns on. I pump the handle a few times after a couple of minutes and I can hear the slight "hiss" of the steam. By mopping back and forth, I pump the handle and keep the steam flowing. If I were to dragged the mop off in one extended direction and then another, I would not be steaming but just regular mopping. I can usually give the handle extra pumps to see the steam. I usually prime the thick, shaggy purple duster with a little extra water directly on the floor or fibers to get the mop moving well. I also flip the mop over to use the top if the bottom gets messy (so the mop handle looks backwards). The steamer works just fine that way too, as long as I continue to pump and keep water in the reservoir.

perhaps you got a dud then. I keep mine on the charger all the time. this thing picked up all the dead pine needles from my xmas tree far better than my $400 Oreck vaccuum. It's unbelievably good.

When finished, it stops and plays a little melody to alert you that it has finished. Then you will need to pick it up and re-connect the iRobot to the charger. It does a good job; very methodical sweeping/moping.

I haven't opened up the box yet. I doubt it can replace the vacuum. My intention is to use my roomba vacuum first, then the mop. As fas as comparing to the mint, what I hated about my mint was having to plug it in to charge.the main reason I got it was because like the roomba vacuum, it should glide into its own charging station. I expect it to be at least as good as the mint, perhaps better

Not that I have noticed. And the charge rate is so slow that I'm not concerned about overcharging! Hope this helps!
