Black + Decker Dustbuster cordless vacuum

Black + Decker is a historic American brand that revolutionized household cleaning with the introduction of the 'Dustbuster' in 1979, the first cordless handheld vacuum. The brand's origin dates back to 1910 when it was founded in Baltimore, Maryland, initially focusing on power tools.

Today, Black + Decker is a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker, a global leader in tools and outdoor products resulting from the 2010 merger of Stanley Works and Black & Decker. While the brand carries a strong American heritage, the manufacturing of their consumer appliances, including the Dustbuster range, is primarily concentrated in China and other Asian manufacturing hubs to optimize global distribution. The company continues to maintain its global headquarters in the United States, overseeing innovation and brand management for its international markets.
