How to choose the best handheld vacuum cleaner for you
Handheld vacuum cleaners come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they should all be small and manageable enough to use single-handed.
To choose an appropriate model for you, it’s initially worth thinking about what you already have. If you only have a large upright vacuum cleaner, then a substantial, powerful handheld cleaner will help you clean significant messes without having to get out your main vacuum. However, if you already have a stick vacuum, a smaller handheld might suffice.
How much should I spend?
You shouldn’t need to spend more than £200 to get the handheld vacuum cleaner of your dreams. This is where the very top-end models sit, so if you don’t want to spend that much, it’s perfectly safe to go lower. Lay out less than £50 and it’s likely the manufacturer has had to cut some corners to hit the price point, but you don’t have to spend much more than that to find some excellent-value models.
