Healthy Body, Healthy Business: How To Achieve Both

Best for: Multiple surfaces | Tools included: Crevice Tool | Cordless: Yes | Key features: Compact and easy to use

Looking for a handheld vacuum that does a little bit of everything? You found it. The Hoover OnePwr works on hard and upholstered surfaces to powerfully suck up debris with ease. It’s cordless, allowing you to instantly get to work without searching for the nearest outlet, and it has an on-board crevice tool so you can get into nooks and crannies. The device weighs just 3 pounds so you won’t get a sore wrist while you work.

Once you’re done, just remove the front and empty it into the trash. Plus, you can wash the filter if it gets dusty over time. It’s also compact, making it simple to use and stash away when not in use.

Best for: Multiple surfaces | Tools included: Crevice too, upholstery brush and motorized brush | Cordless: Yes | Key features: Motorized brush for capturing embedded dirt and pet hair

This handy vacuum comes with a trio of attachments designed to clean pet hair off furniture and upholstery, including a crevice tool, upholstery brush and—this is rare among handheld vacuums—a small motorized brush tool. The motorized brush appears to work very well at cleaning furniture so you won’t need to haul the full-size vacuum out of the closet. Cleaning the dirt bin is straightforward: the vacuum splits in the middle, separating the bin from the motor base, and the filter pulls out as well. Runtime is modest, though, clocking in at about 15 minutes. For most small cleaning jobs, this should be more than enough time.

While not a main selling point, it’s nice to know that Bissell donates $5 from each Pet Hair Eraser to the Bissell Pet Foundation. The company claims it has saved over 180,000 pets, which is right on brand for a handheld vacuum that leans hard into cleaning up after furry creatures.

The Max Flex Handheld Vacuum looks like a full-sized vacuum that’s been miniaturized. But it’s functionality is impressive. You can use this one-handed—like a regular handheld vacuum—or two-handed, extending the hose up to four feet away. The dirt bin is suitably oversized at 17 ounces and empties easily by unhooking one clip. It’s also washable for easy cleaning with a three-stage filter that’s designed to keep dust from escaping. The Max Flex includes a flip-up brush for dusting, a long crevice tool and a pet hair brush for cleaning fur and other stubborn debris from upholstery.

Best for: Multiple surfaces | Tools included: Built-in crevice tool and brush | Cordless: Yes | Key features: Holds a charge for up to 18 months

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good handheld vacuum, as proven by this Black+Decker Dustbuster. That’s not surprising; few companies have more experience making cordless handheld vacuums, since they pioneered the product back in 1979.

Despite the low price, this model brings a lot to the table, including a pull out crevice tool and flip-up brush for all-purpose dusting and upholstery cleaning. The nozzle rotates to any angle, making it easier to clean around obstacles and in tight spaces and the dirt receptacle is easy to empty and can be washed out at the sink. Black+Decker claims the vacuum can hold a charge for up to 18 months, so it will always be ready to go, even if you don’t leave it plugged in when it’s not in use. It comes with a charging base so you’ll need to sit it on a shelf or counter to charge and it is ready to go in about four hours.
