Handheld Vacuum Cleaners

A handheld vacuum cleaner is a lifesaver when it's needed. These small, portable, cordless vacuums are quick to deploy and can pick up just about anything a full sized model can. And in addition to being useful for messes they can also be used on surfaces in your home where uprights or other larger vacuums cannot, such as stairs and crawl spaces. Since they are currently so popular there are offerings from just about every major manufacturer out there. With all those handheld vacuum cleaners to choose from, how do you know which one is right?

One way is by reading ratings or reviews from others who own them. You can find alot of reviews from larger shopping portals like amazon, and find ratings from unbiased review websites. One thing to remember is that while this information is important there may be an 'agenda' behind it. If one store that sells certain handheld vacuums rates those the highest it may be because they want to make a sale. It's best to read many different opinions to try to get a bigger picture about how other consumers rate each one.

Hoover, Kenmore, Dirt Devil, and others all offer very similar vacuum cleaners but some of them will have distinct features that would benefit your situation more. For instance, the new Kone hand vac from Dirt Devil has a real modern look to it. If your decor is modern and you are looking for a new conversation piece to display you should consider buying one. It has all the same great features of other handhelds like being lightweight, portable, and cordless but also does not look like something you are used to. They are even available in such interesting colors as champagne, charcoal, blue steel, light pink, white illuminated, and plum. This vacuum cleaner will also emit a glow in the charger, acting as a nitelight as well.

Hoover also has the Sidewinder which is priced just right for anyone looking for a bargain. While not being cordless, it is very lightweight and has a powerful brush roll that will first loosen dirt particles before the swivel nozzle picks it up. Ratings on this model are very high, so you know many other homeowners are using it with success. Hoover also offers a wet/dry combination handheld vac for those wet messes. This is a great machine for households that have pets or small children. These households tend to have more spills or muddy paws that can be tough to clean up with a standard vacuum cleaner. These vacuums can handle that situation with ease.
