For smaller messes, a good handheld vacuum provides quick cleaning without a lot of heavy lifting and without hogging precious storage space. These mini vacs won t replace a full-size canister vacuum when it comes to deep cleaning, but they are handy for instantly tackling dry spills, tracked-in dirt and pet hair stuck to just about everything. With handheld vacuums, you might even consider more than one as they don t just tackle messes inside your home: stash one in the garage to keep a workshop, garden bench and your car clean, too.
