Best Mini Vacuums for Quick Cleanups

Trying to make cleaning as effortless as possible, Shark has come up with the new ION W1 vac, an extremely lightweight and portable dustbuster. It boasts a stylish design, weighs only 1.4 pounds and is very easy to maneuver, thanks to its sleek and compact construction, which is certainly a very beneficial feature, especially for elderly people or those individuals with limited mobility.

Another great thing that contributes to the ease of use is single-touch emptying. You simply need to push the latch to release the dust container, and all the debris will fall out right into the trash bin. This way is quick, simple, and, more importantly, hygienic - no getting your hands dirty.

Despite incredibly light weight and small dimensions, the ION W1 has very strong suction. Equipped with a high-speed brushless motor, this little beast delivers an 80-air watt suction, which is almost twice more than other cordless vacuums offer. Hence, it easily picks up both large debris and fine dust. However, the price for this unbelievable suction is relatively short run time. After a full charge, it runs about 15 minutes and even less (5-10 minutes) if used on tough surfaces. On the upside, it charges fairly quickly compared to other models - only 2.5 hours for a full charge. So, the vac can quickly get back in business.

The best thing is that the cleaner comes with the ION charging dock that can always keep it ready for work. Both the vacuum and the charger look stylish, meaning you won't need to hide them in the closet when not in use. This dustbuster really looks nice sitting on a countertop, desktop, or any other prominent places.

The Homasy handheld vacuum is a very efficient cleaner for daily use. Right off the bat, we would like to tell about its suction power, the biggest concern for most customers. The vacuum is designed with a 100W ultra-high power motor that can deliver fairly strong cyclonic suction to lift light or heavy debris. Once the dirt is sucked, it's filtered by a 0.3-micron cloth media. That means that the vacuum can suck out even unseen dust mites and bacteria hidden in your sofas and mattresses, let alone daily pet hair and other debris. The item has a 600-ml dirt cup and can collect quite a lot of debris per one go. Yet, the tradeoff for that large container is a bit heavy weight.

On the positive side, the Homasy cordless mini vacuum comes with a generous set of accessories. Besides the vac, the package includes 3 different types of attachments, a charging base, cleaning brush, and a pair of spare filters. Take note that even though the filter is washable, the manufacturer has thrown in an extra couple just in case.

With 3 attachments, you'll be able to thoroughly clean upholstery, walls, stairs, corners, and other hard-to-reach areas. And the unique rubber jar attachment enables you to suck up to 100ml of liquid if need be. Very handy addition.

Need something light, simple, and affordable for little cleaning jobs around the house? Then this BLACK+DECKER Handheld Vacuum can be a solid fit for you. It's small, competitively priced, and seems to be powerful enough for small jobs. The item is simple in operation and all you have to do to get started is push and hold "ON" button. Once the button is released, the vacuum will turn off.

This mini vacuum produces 16 air watts that are fine for picking up small messes like spills, dust bunnies, and other small debris from carpet, hardwood, and hard floor. This hand vac can really have many uses around the house. For example, it can clean kitchen tables, office desks, chairs, or countertops. Also, you can use it to remove dust from a computer keyboard or for cleaning other electronics. Moreover, you can use it on window sills, corners or any other areas where a full-sized hoover just can't get to. It can even vacuum inside your fridge to effectively remove crumbs. Or it may clean excess lint on top of your dryer.

Actually, you can find many uses for this little helper. The only thing to remember is that it's sufficient for 10-15 min cleanups only. And the bagless dirt bowl isn't that capacious accordingly - it's 12.5 oz. Yet, we believe that's enough for small messes.

The vac from HOTOR is a pretty good option for people who absolutely cannot stand seeing their car filthy and messy. That said, you don't have to be a neat freak to appreciate all that it has to offer.

As it is with most appliances, it is the power of the machine that is often the biggest deciding factor to its worth. Fortunately, there's not much to complain about here on that front. It may not seem like the most imposing tool out there but the 12v will easily handle just about anything you'll throw its way. The vac easily picks up dry leaves, crumbs, dust, and anything of the kind.

Of course, it is a bit of a different issue with trash stuck in the carpet. If you do not loosen it beforehand, this handheld car vacuum probably won't be able to lift it up. But that is where the complementary main brush comes in. With it, you'll be able to break up some of that trash and dirt. After that, the vac will pick it up with ease.

Along with that brush, you'll get a crevice tube that will allow you to clean the cracks in the car. That tube will also prove to be quite useful if you intend to use the vacuum around the house, especially in the kitchen, with its multitude of household appliances.

In addition to the brush and the crevice tool, the manufacturers have included a soft long tube. Using the latter, you'll be able to clean some of the more hard-to-reach areas.

Meet the premium car cleaner, the RYTEK handheld vacuum that looks fantastic and works even better. Although it costs less than other vacs from big names, you'll be able to see that it's a high-quality product immediately after unpackaging. The vac not only looks like a premium model, it also works like one.

The strength of the RYTEK is a powerful built-in motor. With 120 Watts power output, it allows picking up all kinds of debris, both large and fine, and makes this job super quick. Besides, it is also suitable for removing wet debris and stains, making it an affordable alternative to big wet-dry vacs.

What further adds scores to this vac is that, while being small in size, it is able to clean dirt in one quick pass, sparing you the trouble to go over the same area several times. This helps reduce time and makes the process of cleaning less daunting. Plus, the RYTEK handheld vacuum operates very silently; compared to some other entries on this list, this one hardly produces any noise.

Further down the list is the package, which is very good here. Out of the box, the item is supplied with a bunch of additional accessories. It includes a crevice tool for reaching tight corners, a soft hose for cleaning in the nooks and crannies under seats and a brush attachment for scraping pet hair and other fine debris from upholstery. The latter will also come in handy when you need to clean the interior of your car.
