The 7 Best Handheld Vacuums for Small Spaces

As a big fan of snacks and a big maker of messes, it's important I always have cleaning supplies within an arm's reach. Having a teeny tiny vacuum in the storage ottoman next to my couch means that I can clean up tiny messes without having to get up and lug my stick vacuum from the closet to said couch. The tiny vacuum scene is strong with lightweight an cheap options designed for cleaning up cars or tight couch corners, to suction-heavy vacuums with long pipes for cleaning up bigger messes in equally hard-to-reach spots.

These smart vacuums span the range of pricing, too, with cheap options under $50 and heavier duty ones—like Dyson and Hoover—coming in with a heftier price tag but a more intense suction. The run time on these tends to be shorter, but that's the nature of the small, battery-powered, cordless vacuum. It's a drawback for most of them, but they also are cleaning spaces that often don't need a lot of time, like your couch cushions or car seats.

For your most efficient small-space cleaning, these are the best handheld vacuums to get. And hey, maybe one for each room (and for every person in the house), so they can contribute to cleaning up their own crumbs for once.

Wandvac Cordless Handheld Vacuum

Shark's handheld vacuum is elite when it comes to cleaning up after furry pets. It comes with a multi-surface pet tool to specifically suck up hair from corners and and floor boards. It also has an easy charging dock and that doubles as storage.

HomeVac H11

For a tiny handheld vacuum that doesn't take up space or cost a lot, Eufy's HomeVac is the way to go. The tip doesn't get quite as close to corners and sharp edges, though, making it a better fit for getting crumbs off the couch than sucking up hair or tight spaces like drawers.

Humdinger Handheld Vacuum

Now, if you want a tiny vacuum that'll get every last crumb, dust mite, and hair in sight, the Dyson is the best. It's still pretty lightweight (2.2 lbs), though not as light as some of the 1.something vacs. It has two speeds, brush and crevice tools, and it has a longer run time than most at 25 minutes.

Handheld Portable Vacuum Cleaner

Bluefeel's smart vacuum is the sharpest looking of the bunch with a clean, minimal shape and size. It has a wireless charging station and comes with a range of extension sticks to get even the tightest of corners clean.

Dusbuster Handheld Vacuum

Black+Decker's handheld vacuum is a crowd favorite with a tiny suction head and a bigger bin space. It's great for cleaning up dust or crumbs that have accumulated in hard-to-reach spaces like drawers or shelves. It's a little bulkier to store than some of the smaller vacuums but it does come with a wall mount if you have the space.

PWRHero Mini A1 Cordless Hand Vacuum

If you don't have storage space to spare—or are trying to keep this in your car—Tineco's vacuum is super narrow and easy to fit under car seats or in storage ottomans. It's easy to handle and to clean, and it's suction is a little stronger than some of the cheaper options.

ONEPWR Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Hoover's handheld vacuum did not come to play with an intense suction that's just as good as your standard vacuum, but a little easier to handle than your standard vacuum. In comparison to other handhelds, this is a little bulkier and heavier—but with that comes a powerful suction and extensions to grab every kind of mess.
