4 Best Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaners

Which Lightweight Cordless Hand Vac is Best for You?

Handheld vacuum cleaners are among the most celebrated cleaning tools in history as they not only make cleaning fuss free, but also a lot less physically taxing. Powerful vacuum cleaners used to be large and
cumbersome that they need to be operated with two hands. Handheld vacuums, however, are much lighter and smaller but still quite capable of tacking challenging tasks. Listed below are 4 of the top lightweight cordless hand vacs in the market today. This should give you an idea as to what choices you have these days as far as capable cleaning machines go.

1. Black & Decker CHV1410L Cordless Dust Buster Hand Vac

BLACK and DECKER CHV1410L Hand VacExtremely Light and Portable -At 3.8 pounds, this vacuum cleaner is as light as some ultra portable laptops (Ultrabooks as they are called) on the market today. This allows for easy one-handed operation especially when you need to need to reach areas that you would normally forgo because it is such a pain. This cleaner has a slim profile as well so lugging it from one room to another would be a breeze.

On-Board Brush and Crevice Tool – For those who despise having to keep essential attachments in the box or in a separate storage container, the Black & Decker Cordless Dust Buster is an excellent choice. Both the brush and crevice tool are built in so do not have to attach and detach them for various tasks.

50% More Reach – Using this machine translates to being able to clean hard to reach places so you do not have to bend or stretch as much when vacuuming. It also has rotating slim nozzles that can get to really tight spaces such as couch crevices and corners.

Cyclonic Suction Power – This system separates dust and all sorts of debris away from the airflow, which allows for consistent suction power.

Washable Dirt Bowl – Once you fill the bowl with collected dirt, you can easily empty it, wash the filter, and let it dry.

2. Hoover Air Cordless Handheld Vacuum, BH52160PC

Hoover Air Cordless Bagless Handheld Vacuum for pet hairDesigned for Effective Pet Hair Removal – If you own pets and spend a great deal of time picking up stray hair, this machine would make things a lot simpler and less messy. Among the pet hair cleaning tools included in the package include Pet Upholstery attachment that has a three blade design for thorough cleaning. The blades are specifically designed to pick up stubborn pet hair from various surfaces.

Safe to Use Even on Delicate Surfaces – The Deluxe Dusting Brush that is included in the package allows for effective cleaning of delicate surfaces such as expensive plush rugs in the living area or bedroom. A great hand vac for doing stairs and vacuum the car.

Excellent Maneuverability – The 25 degree pivot design suction nozzle makes it a lot easier to maneuver the cleaner around tight areas without having to stretch your reach. It is definitely more ergonomically designed compared to most other handheld cleaners in the same price range.

Interchangeable No Fade Battery – The Lithium Ion rechargeable batter that powers this cleaner can be removed and swapped anytime. In addition, it is of the No Fade variety, which means it does not have any memory of how many times the battery has been recharged. The battery can very well last a lifetime, or at the very least until you decide to upgrade to a different handheld cleaner down the line.

3. Black & Decker Platinum BDH2000FL Handheld Cordless Flex Vacuum

Black & Decker Platinum BDH2000FL Flex VacuumUltra Lightweight and Portable – The design of this vacuum cleaner is as futuristic as anything can get. At a mere 1 pound, this hand held machine is as light as the iPad air (tablet), which should tell you that it is the next step in the evolution of cleaning machines. You can take it from one area to another (even outdoors to your car) and carry it for hours without experiencing any fatigue at all.

Heavy Duty, High Performance Motor – While this machine is quite small and light, it packs a lot of power as its motor provides excellent no-fade suction power. It works well as an all-around vacuum cleaner, but it is also capable of handling pet hair collection and comprehensive dusting.

4 Ft Hose for Longer Cleaning Reach – For cleaning tighter areas such as corners and crevices, this 4 ft house which wraps around the machine when not in use, comes in really handy.

Cyclonic and Triple Action Filtration System with Washable Filter – The machine owes its ever reliable suction power from its cyclonic air filtration system so that dirt, pet hair, and any other type of debris is separated from the air thereby allowing for constant airflow. Once the machine is full, you can simply take out the filter and load it in the dishwasher.

Long Battery Life – The Lithium Ion rechargeable battery in this machine is designed for heavy duty usage without any fade. In addition. it can hold a charge for up to 18 months at a time so it is always ready for use even when left idle for a stretch of time.

4. Dyson DC58 Handheld Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Powerhouse Performer in a Small and Lightweight Package  While this only tips the scale at 3.4 pounds, it is powered by a digital V5 motor that provides three times the suction power of most other handheld cleaners today. The DC58 is also ergonomically designed so it is easier to handle even by those who have relatively small hands.

15 Total Cyclones Arranged in Two Tiers – This patented technology allows for very fast air flow, which keeps the dirt in place while maintaining high suction power. This ensures that not a single spec of dirt or strand of pet hair will be left on any surface. In addition, people who are allergic to dust will be glad to be using this machine as it does not release any allergens back out (which happens a lot with vacuum cleaners with conventional motors and filtration systems).

Hygienic Bin Emptying – You need not have any contact with collected dust or pet hair when emptying the bin because of the unique one-push button design. Just push the button while placing the cleaner above a dust bin or trash can and let gravity take over.

Longer Operating Times – With the re-engineered nickel manganese cobalt battery, this machine can run for as long as 20 minutes on a full charge. Considering its suction power, this should be enough to tackle more than one room.

Wide Range of Utility – The included attachments such as the crevice tool (for reaching very tight spaces) and brush tool (for using on upholstery and carpets), makes this an all around machine that can clean all types of surfaces whenever you need it. Both the crevice and brush attachment can be used for cleaning car interiors as well.

Verdict and Recommendation

The vacuum cleaners listed below are among the most inspired machines in the handheld cordless vacuum category. Any one of these can provide a wide range of cleaning functions for homes that have pets or children who track in all kinds of dirt on a regular basis.

    If you wish for lesser hassle when vacuuming the house, go for robotic vacuum cleaners. They are lightweight and require minimal intervention. You can rest in the couch while the robot does its work.
