BEFORE YOU BUY
■ Keeping your home clean can feel like an uphill battle, but having a handheld vacuum at the ready makes it quicker and easier to do. What’s more, these models can get into tight spaces that you might not be able to reach with a full size one.
■ While many cordless vacuums are multipurpose and can convert to a handheld mode, these versions are smaller and slimmer so they won’t need to be tucked away out of sight in a cupboard.
