Dyson V6 Trigger Handheld Vacuum

 

Dyson is known for making great vacuums and the V6 Trigger Handheld Vacuum lives up to the reputation. However, it comes at a price, as it is the most expense item on our list. That price tag will get you a portable machine great for cleaning on the go with a powerful suction and sleek design. While we have mostly good things to say about this vacuum, the battery life can be a little on the short side when it is in its most powerful setting. This is not particularly surprising considering the about of power that it packs. It also can die suddenly because it does not have a low battery indicator and it doesn’t lose power until it is completely out of juice.

 

Pros
⦁ Light weight.
⦁ Easily portable.
⦁ Powerful Suction.
⦁ Superb aesthetic design.

 

Cons
⦁ It is very loud
⦁ The canister can be difficult to empty without spilling dirt.

Dirt Devil SD20005RED Scorpion Quick Flip Corded Bagless Handheld Vacuum, Red

If you don’t need all of the bells and whistles of the other vacuums on this list then this Dirt Devil vacuum may be just the thing for you! At less than $30 (at the time of writing) this vacuum is the cheapest option on our list! So if you just need a handheld vacuum that you can rely on then look no further! This vacuum comes with a crevice tool for detail cleaning and a powerful suction, it also comes with a 3-year limited warranty. However, this is a corded vacuum so if you’re set on having a cordless, keep scrolling. Overall our biggest complaint is that the filters are somewhat flimsy and need to be replaced fairly often to keep the suction strong, they are reusable, and can be washed, so it’s not all bad.

 

Shark Rocket Corded Hand Vac (HV292)

This is yet another corded vacuum, but unless that is a deal breaker don’t let that put you off. The cord is plenty long for most jobs and this vacuum will supply great suction power that won’t fade. It comes with; crevice tool, dusting brush, TruePet Motorized Brush, stretch hose, and a 5 year limited warranty. Our only complaint is the weight distribution makes it seem heavier than it actually is. And, like the Dirt Devil, it comes with washable filters. Overall it’s a great vacuum for any job.
