subject: The Best Handheld Vacuum Cleaner [print this page] When looking for a handheld vacuum cleaner keep in mind that some are made especially for users with a specific problem in mind, whereas some are made with more of a "one size fits all" way of thinking. Consider your planned use carefully to decide which is actually best.
Remember too that price is not always the highest indicator of best. There are many very high quality handheld vacuum cleaners that are lower in price than some. Do remember too when considering a handheld vacuum cleaner that they are not meant to replace the upright vacuum cleaner, nor are they even able to do the job of many of the electric brooms that are out there.
Most people want one to clean the car's interior, to pick up dropped items such as uncooked rice off the countertop, or to clean around the kitty's litter box for example. You may find that they are also handy for picking up a spilled ashtray on your pool patio too!
High on the list of best handheld vacuum cleaners is the Dyson DC16. It weighs only 3.5 pounds, and of course it has that impressive root cyclone technology. Many are impressed with its 0.21-gallon debris capacity. It comes with accessory tools, a washable filter as well as a battery charger, and features a 2-year warranty. Average price for this item is approximately $150.
Hoover has put out an interesting cordless hand vacuum, the BH50015 Linx. It features Hoover's Cyclonic Action Filtration, is bagless and weighs 6 pounds. It comes with a battery charger station, an 18-volt Lithium battery, and even has a battery life indicator, as well as cleaning tools and a very easy to empty debris cup. Best yet, it has two separate warranties, a 6-year limited vacuum warranty and a 2-year limited charger warranty. Average price for this item is approximately $140.
Considered one of the best handheld vacuum cleaners is the Black & Decker PHV1800 Pivot Vac. Those who judged it said that it was quite powerful, and the battery lasted enough time to clean a car's interior or a set of stairs. It can be stored while folded in half, and has a nozzle that pivots to 10 different positions. The charging base is wall-mountable too. Best yet, it boasts a two-year warranty. Average price for this item is approximately $70.
For those on a budget though, there is the Shark Cordless Hand Vac SV736. It presents a number of features that people liked, especially a motorized fully detachable brush that is able to pick up small items from carpet as well as pulling out pet hair. Its detachable filter is washable, and it even comes with a crevice tool as well as a LED-charging indicator. Average price for this item is approximately $40.
As you can see by the above, what is "best" is open to discussion and depends very much on what the reason is that you are looking for a handheld cordless vacuum cleaner. Basically most are for occasional use.
