Review of the Best Selling Handheld Vacuums

Hand held vacuums have become increasingly powerful over the years. Some of the handheld machines pack as much power that you would find in a regular vacuum. The most popular handheld models include the Eureka 71B, Black and Decker CHV4800, Dirt Devil M08220, Shop-Vac 999-19-10, Shark SV736K, DEWALT DC515K and the Bissell 33A1. Handheld vacuums make picking up the "Oops!" in our lives a little easier.

Heavy Duty Handheld Vacuums
Of the models listed, the DEWALT handheld vacuum offers the most features. Priced at $236 it is also one of the priciest models. Compared to other models, the DEWALT offers wet and dry cleaning and has a large 0.5-gallon tank. Like other models, DEWALT offers HEPA filtering and a one-hour charger. The DEWALT is a bit heavier than typical handheld vacuums weighing in around six pounds. The DEWALT can handle almost anything.

The Shop-Vac handheld vacuum offers the same features as regular models without the bulkiness. It offers wet and dry cleaning, however; the tank only holds one quart. The vacuum provides superior suction and is nearly a fourth of the price of the DEWALT at $159.

Everyday Use Handheld Vacuums
The Eureka 71B is ideal for the average user; it offers a rich set of features for the price. The 71B will pick up almost anything with 5.5 amps of suction. The device has two motors, one for the revolving brush and the other for suction. Like other vacuums the 71B is bagless and offers HEPA filtering. With a twenty-foot retractable cord and weighing five pounds, it makes cleaning the stairs or car upholstery a breeze. Priced at $59.99 the 71B is a high-end handheld vacuum for a fraction of the price.

The Shark SV736K offers the same features as the Eureka models with slight differences. It is a cordless vacuum that utilizes the proprietary Twister Cyclonic technology. There is a detachable brush that can be used to remove animal hair. The vacuum is perfect for hard to reach spaces. Without a cord, it is perfect for keeping in the car for everyday use. Priced at $39.99 anyone can afford to keep their house clean.

Light Cleaning Handheld Vacuums
Anyone with animals in the house knows how frustrating it is to put on a suit only for it to be covered in hair in minutes.

Priced at $29.99 it is a no brainer.

The Black and Decker CHV4800 Dust Buster is one of the first handheld vacuums to be invented - with a modern day twist.

It offers a wall mountable charger and is the lightest model out there. Priced at $19.88 anyone can have one of these.
