About this deal
Another useful feature is the easy-empty, dirt cup that has a Max Fill line so you’ll know when it’s time to empty out. This vacuum does a poor job dealing with pet hair on furniture, as it leaves quite a bit of this kind of debris behind after cleaning.
Thanks to its cordless design, this exceptionally portable handheld vacuum can easily spot-clean stairs, which is handy for the occasional spill. It took other products less than 20 seconds to clean up the same mess, while we ended up just giving up with this one after a minute with plenty of mess remaining.
It did alright with some of the more challenging messes we threw at it and can get into some difficult to clean areas, but there are far better vacuums available that cost about the same as this one.
In addition to being Insider Reviews' mattress expert, James has extensively covered vacuums, air conditioners, air purifiers, and more within the HVAC space. The only area where it struggled was picking up flour on carpeting, where it only sucked up about half. On carpeting, hardwood, and in the car, the Shark Cyclone Pet came close to picking up all of the debris I laid out, including Cheerios, flour, coffee, cat litter, and pet hair, offering some of the best cleaning performance.The Black+Decker dustbuster Hand Vacuum and the HoLife HM036E are two cordless handheld vacuums with different strengths. It’s better-built, not to mention more effective in picking up debris on bare floors and high-pile carpet. The CHV1410L also did very poorly in our battery life test, only running for around 10 minutes before dying.
