Cordless Carpet Sweeper

Handheld vacuums are small and convenient but lack power and endurance.

  • Cordless (rechargeable) vacuum cleaners should be seen as an alternative to brooms and dustpans, not an alternative to regular vacuum cleaners.
  • A corded handheld vacuum can be an alternative to a full-sized vacuum, but only for small apartments.

Popular brands include Dyson, Shark, Eureka, Black and Decker (Dustbuster), Electrolux, Hoover, Makita, Dirt Devil (Scorpion, Kurv, Kone) and Royal (Dust Devil).
