Handheld vacuums can go where bigger vacuums can’t, making it easy to ferret out lint between cushions, crumbs from car seats, and pet fur from every surface in your home.Since 2013, we’ve looked at 180 hand vacuums and conducted hundreds of hours of research and testing. We’ve concluded that the Ryobi 18V One+ Performance Hand Vacuum Kit is the best for most jobs.If you regularly contend with a lot of pet fur, consider the Black+Decker Dustbuster AdvancedClean+ HHVK515JP07. If you need a no-frills machine for occasional cleanups, try the inexpensive Black+Decker Dustbuster Blast HNVD220J00. And if a mini handheld vacuum is what you’re after, we recommend the Ryobi USB Lithium HP Compact Hand Vacuum Kit.
