Advantages of Hand held Vacuum Cleaners

A vacuum cleaner is ideal for cleaning a big area rug or a room with full carpet, but they tend to be big and bulky and aren’t suitable for many other spaces and messes. A handheld vacuum is easy to use and can sanitize up places that a standard vacuum can’t get to.

Before discussing the benefits of handheld vacuums, let’s first highlight what these devices are and how they differ from the various types of vacuum cleaners available to consumers.

What Are Handheld Vacuum Cleaners?

As the name shows, a handheld vacuum is typically a smaller, portable type of the traditional vacuum cleaner. Because of its small size, it comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The most apparent demerit is that it is not a right solution for vacuuming significant areas of your home. On the contrary, here are some of its advantages.

1. They are tiny

Most handheld vacuums are half the size of their larger counterparts, with various models being so small they could almost fit in your pocket. Their small size makes them easy to move around with and easy to keep on a shelf or corner of a closet, pantry, laundry room, garage, or kitchen cabinet.

2. They are light

Many handheld vacuum cleaner models are less than five pounds. While this will differ from model to model, they will all be lightweight. This makes it easy to move the unit around the house for some quick, immediate vacuuming and carry them up the stairs with little risk of a fall than a heavy vacuum cleaner.

3. They are easy to use

A handheld vacuum is a great way to get your kids to contribute around the house. Not only are they small and lightweight, but they are very easy to use. Kids and adults similarly can use them with little complications.

4. They are easy to carry

In addition to their small size and lightweight shell, they all have a handle of some sort that is easy to hold your grip on when cleaning up a mess. The type of handle and quality of the grip will change from model to model, but they are all easy to clasp and carry around your home.

5. Perfect for quick cleanups

When it comes to handheld vacuums, this is the main advantage. Sometimes you are required to spot-clean or take care of one mess in a small area. Instead of carrying out my canister vacuum, let the easy handheld vacuum do the job for me.
