Hand Vacuum Battery.

Hand vacuum battery life and charge time are the main drawbacks for budget shoppers. Manufacturers don't provide much information on this, so we gleaned our information from hand vacuums reviews. A user posting a handheld vacuum cleaner review at Walmart.com notes that the Black and Decker 18V Platinum Series Cordless Hand Vacuum is the only cheap handheld vacuum on the market that allows you to replace the battery rather than have to throw away the machine once the battery wears out. Another user says in a handheld vacuum cleaner review that the Black and Decker hand vacuum battery pack is large and seems to last a while.

Users are split in their opinions of the battery on the FilterStream DirtTamer Ultima V2510. Consumers posting handheld vacuum cleaner reviews at ActiveForever.com say the battery is pretty good at holding a charge, while users at Epinions report that the battery starts to lose its charge after only a few minutes; leaving it on the charger all the time only causes the battery to completely lose its ability to hold a charge. A user posting a handheld vacuum cleaner review on Newegg says that charging the Dirt Devil M0914 Extreme Power Handheld Vacuum for more than 24 hours at a time similarly shortens the battery's lifespan. Nonetheless, the user had one for more than three years before the battery stopped holding a charge. Other users posting hand vacuums reviews on Newegg are pleased with the run time of the Dirt Devil hand vacuum battery, which one user reports is long enough to clean up two to three messes on a single charge.

Battery life seems to be the main problem with the Euro-Pro SV75 Shark Cordless Hand Vac. One user posting a handheld vacuum cleaner review at Target says the machine must spend the majority of its time on the charger just to run for a short while. Several users posting hand vacuums reviews at Amazon report that even after they followed the charging instructions, the battery wouldn't hold a charge after the first use.

Power Cord Length.

Buying a handheld vacuum with a power cord allows you to avoid any battery issues, but the cord may not be long enough for the vacuum to reach all the spots that an upright can't. Users posting hand vacuums reviews at Walmart especially like the Eureka Easy Clean Handheld Vac 71B because the 20-foot cord is extra-long. One user says the cord is more than long enough to clean a flight of stairs. Many users comment that this corded model is way better than cordless options that have a limited run time. Users posting hand vacuums reviews on Amazon don't seem to mind the cord on the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Corded Hand Vacuum either. One user notes in a handheld vacuum cleaner review on Amazon that corded vacuums like the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser don't need recharging, so they're always ready to go.

Ease of Use.

Handheld vacuums are designed for quick, easy cleanups, and hand vacuums reviews indicate that all the models on our list are easy enough to use. Experts at Bestcovery say the 20-foot power cord and detachable hose on the Eureka Easy Clean Hand Vac 71B make it very user-friendly. Consumers posting hand vacuums reviews at Walmart say the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Corded Hand Vacuum is also a cinch to use; the upholstery pet nozzle is flexible and eliminates pet hair on any furniture surface. Most users posting hand vacuums reviews at Best Buy report that the Black and Decker 18V Platinum Series Cordless Hand Vacuum is easy to use, and in reviews of the FilterStream DirtTamer Ultima V2510 on Amazon, users find all the attachments useful and say the machine itself is simple to operate. As for the Euro-Pro SV75 Shark Cordless Hand Vac, one user posting a handheld vacuum cleaner review of a similar model at Best Buy likes the rotating brush attachment and another calls the vacuum lightweight and easy to maneuver.
