You finally have a couple of hours on the weekend to do some much needed cleaning in your house. In between the last time you cleaned and now, dust has begun to build up, especially in difficult areas to reach. Worse, allergy season has picked up. A handheld vacuum is your best tool to clean and reduce allergy symptoms.Here are three things you should look for in a quality handheld vacuum cleaner.
1. Accessories are fun!
When your vacuum cleaner's cord or your arm doesn't reach those hard-to-get-to areas, you'll need a telescoping wand. This feature allows your vacuum to reach ceilings, fans, drapes and high shelves.
2. Cord or no cord?
Cordless and long battery life should go hand-in-hand. It's disheartening taking time out of your weekend to clean and then having the vacuum's battery fail half way through. It's even worse if you've bought a handheld cleaner with a cord that is too short to reach across your large living room, kitchen or master bedroom.
However, keep in mind that handheld vacuums with cords tend to be more powerful than their counterparts.
3. Where can the vacuum cleaner go?
Dust doesn't just settle onto the surfaces of your furniture. There are nooks and crannies it hides in and the only way to get it out is with a quality handheld vacuum cleaner. Remember to purchase a cleaner that does a great job sucking up particles in hard-to-reach places, as well as maneuvering in corners. There's nothing worse than staring straight at a clump of dust and knowing it has the upper hand.
