USERS SAID: “In 37 years of marriage and family life, we have certainly gone through a few Dirt Devils and Dust Busters over the years, and I can honestly say that this is by far the best hand-held vac we have ever owned. It is common for me to use it for 30 or 45 min at a time, and it has never slowed or faded in suction power. It is an easy grab for all the mis-haps that happen in a house with active children, and it is a convenient car vac.”

WHY YOU NEED IT: The flexible rubber nozzle on this vac lifts matted pet hair and dried crumbs from any surface.

HELPFUL TIP: If you’re cleaning a larger area, remove the rubber attachment and use the wide-mouthed cleaner to suck up crumbs, dirt, and debris. 

BEST FOR: Those looking to invest in a high-quality, top-of-the-line technology vacuum that will last for years to come

USERS SAID: “LOVE this vacuum! Have had a couple hand held vacuums in the past, but none have compared to this one! I first used it at an airbnb while I was cleaning up after a weekend stay, and I immediately went online and bought it for my house! It's amazing to clean tight corners, behind the dog food bowls, the stairs, vents, makeup powder that accumulates at your vanity - I feel like it has just helped keep our home so much tidier!”

LOVED FOR: The longevity of the lithium battery and strong suction

USERS SAID: “This vacuum is EVERYTHING! The suction is incredibly powerful for a little cordless handheld vacuum. I've owned many in the past and can say that this alleviates many of the problems that give cordless vacuums a bad rep...It holds its charge for longer and maintains its suction power until the very end rather than fizzling out after a few minutes like the cheaper ones.”
