Black + Decker debuted its latest and soon-to-be-launched products — including the bev, the expansion of the kitchen wand family of attachments and the POWERSERIES Extreme MAX Cordless the SUMMITSERIES Select — during the Inspired Home Show, which kicked off in Chicago over the weekend and ends on Tuesday (March 7).
“Making life easier so you can enjoy more is what drives BLACK+DECKER’s product portfolio,” said Kendall Nohe, Global Director of Product Marketing at BLACK+DECKER. “We are focused on expanding and innovating our cleaning products as well as bringing cordless to other entertainment areas of your home. We’re excited to display how infusing BLACK+DECKER into your household can help make life easier and more joyful.”
