BEST Handheld Vacuums of 2024 - Vacuum Wars!

[@maggie2451]

Thank you for uploading this! I've been meaning to get my hands on a handheld vacume. You also helped me pick my mop vacume for my hard wood floor. Thank you for taking the time on reviewing all vacume products and helping us understand what works for each home :)

[@richardfischer1986]

It would be great to see some hand held vacuums from companies like Makita 40v and 18v and Milwaukee 18v and dewalt 20v and other brands that share batteries with drills and construction tools.

[@KelikakuCoutin]

Subscribed. Thanks for the quick yet thorough review. I took the runner up because of the power and also I'm not concerned with added filtration. I'm not using it for pets, perhaps if I were then I'd have gone with the Bissell. Additionally, Amazon had discounted the B&D unit, making the prices nearly the same, within a few dollars of one another. Great job. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס'ד

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks so much! We hope you enjoy your new vacuum!

[@KelikakuCoutin]

​@@VacuumWars You are very welcome! After your review video, I went to Project Farm's channel. He did a survey of fourteen different cordless handhelds. Several of the tests he made interest me, and he didn't test the models that you did, even though he had three Black + Deckers in his survey. Do you have the ability to test decibel level, suction (inches of water column) and cfm? If so, what are your readings for the model that I ordered (your second choice)? It was BLACK+DECKER's dustbuster furbuster AdvancedClean + Cordless Pet Handheld Vacuum. Thanks in advance. Link to Project Farm video is titled 'Best Vacuum? Fake Milwaukee Better? Let's Find Out!' Can't seem to put a link into the comment!! It's the Project Farm KZbin channel though.

[@CollegeMarine1]

Bought the Bissell pet hair eraser 2 years ago. It remains a great vacuum. The first one broke from user error, so I bought another and it's still excellent. Definitely recommend it

[@Texas_Made_]

Bissell definitely makes great products 🎉

[@arianaa.3448]

Which error did u make?

[@maxkelley]

Bought the pet hair eraser a year or two ago based on your review... It's priceless! We use it the most out of all the vacuums in the house. One thing that would be nice to have would be a little LED light at the end of it, and maybe a little more runtime, but otherwise it's great.

[@VacuumWars]

That is great to hear! Thanks!

[@boneman751]

Just bought the Dewalt a week ago and it's amazing. Have batteries already so just paid 100. Could you please review it and maybe the Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi, etc. Thank you.

[@prerecordedresponse9884]

I was wondering if he would include these. I have the Ryobi evercharge hand vac and I love it for what it is.

[@rickraub5448]

Tks. Am about to buy one too. I have multiple Dewalt tools with the 20 V battery that I could use. I can’t believe that the Dewalt was inferior to those other brands in this test.

[@rickraub5448]

I went ahead and bought the Dewalt vacuum. It is incredible. It sucks up everything in its path. There is no way that other brands were superior to the Dewalt. The light is bright enough even with extension tube on. Very happy with it.

[@robynj4839]

@@rickraub5448 which Dewalt did you buy? handheld?

[@Billyb0b557]

​@@rickraub5448not sure if you missed it in the video but he said he decided to cap the top end price at $100. Not sure of price in US but here in UK the Dewalt is over $100 so it wouldn't make the list. Not to say it isn't better though

[@maverick85]

Ive been waiting tor this. I have a robot vacuum and a handheld is all I need for above ground cleaning

[@coredadventure1]

What Robot vacuum do you have please? There are so many issues from I don't even know I would like one with a mop but the best one is 1500

[@f1ness3m24]

@@coredadventure1Hey there, I personally recommend the Roborock QRevo. Worth the money, I got mine for around 600-800.

[@MannyHaarp]

Great vid as always! Careful with the budget options, these look alike models have their batteries soldered meaning there's no way of replacing them without special soldering tools.Those batteries start degrading significantly at around 2 years and the whole unit needs to be thrown away. I'd like to see some content on the power tool brand portable vacuums like the Ryobis and Milwaukees of the world which offer swappable batteries which to me is a game changer.

[@febobartoli]

Thanks for this great review! I own the Black & Decker, your budget pick. Important: replacement filters have square holes (from the manufacturing process) that I just seal up with a hot glue gun, otherwise, dust will go right into the motor!

[@axonjogi]

Omg I had it happen

[@axonjogi]

Dust sucked into motor

[@MaysField]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this informative video! I was so overwhelmed by the choice of hand vacuums. This helps a lot! As a side note, I almost thought this video was made by an AI. Because no human face is shown and your voice is a bit too close to Al. My two cents: adding a bit of a human touch might help the channel more.

[@JocelynMeadows]

This is great but I would love if you did another video on “countertop” handheld vacuums!! Id love to know the best vacuums that have a *stand* and are cordless and beautiful and very compact.

[@kc5077]

I don't like any cordless vacuum with a fixed battery. When the battery wears out the whole vacuum is useless. I've owned Black+Decker cordless vacuums and they are the worst. B+D vacuums have weak suction, they are still loud, and the battery wears out and doesn't hold a charge very quickly.

[@yourbrokenoven]

We call those Dust Busters. They were popular in the 80's and maybe early 90's, but I only ever see them in thrift stores these days.

[@kiwikid4688]

Well it's not grandpa's (you) Dust Buster anymore...

[@Ubeogesh]

What I would like in handheld vacuum review is how well it can fit in various tight places

[@HerbertWingfield]

I miss my original Dust Buster...

[@bonnierae7159]

Me, too.

[@LeahE16]

The Black+Decker Furbuster is excellent for carpeted stairs, which is what I bought it for.

[@kittykisses2257]

This channel has been such a great asset for me.

[@VacuumWars]

That is really nice to hear. Thank you.

[@JeanieNelson-f7m]

If only all product reviews were this good

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks so much!

[@alexsummaria371]

Please review more canister vacuums

[@jules5853]

This was so helpful. Thank you for your help!!

[@VacuumWars]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MythMSV]

When I was just thinking about this, you post a video.

[@kippaseo8027]

It would be interesting to show one of these up against an old school dust buster

[@bonnierae7159]

I had, and used daily, what you call an "old school" Black and Decker Dustbuster for almost twenty years. Absolutely fantastic suction. It finally stopped keeping a charge. So I bought the Black and Decker Furbuster-- that's scored so high here--and it's been a total disappointment. I'm returning it today. Maybe I bought a malfunctioning one. I don't know. But it won't even suck up scattered cat litter. The attachments are worthless. I guess I was spoiled by all those years of trouble free service from my old one. My old one had a wall mount. This thing doesn't. My old one would suck up M & M's--several at a time--and this one can't even handle cobwebs. So I agree that this You Tuber should make his comparisons with vacuums that weren't made in China.

[@hrdcpy]

The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser works for 15 mins before needing a 5 hour recharge. It's a major let down and I regret buying it. The charger is slow AF compared to other common battery tech. I'd avoid these sealed battery edge case vacs. It's 2024 and the expectations of new products efficiency have risen. The charging and battery quality experience in the first 24 hours reminds me a lot of cheaper disposable Black&Decker products of the 90s.

[@mmeyer1952]

You should do a video about keyboard vacuums sometime... the world wants to know!

[@tanyademillo8695]

Just got the Bissel a few weeks ago. I’m very happy with it!

[@audreyfischer8662]

Hi, Which one is best for broken GLASS? We have a winery and a broken wine glass is not uncommon. Noise level matters. Easy touchless emptying of broken glass is important for staff safety. Cheers to nice & clean 🎉

Have you tested the rowenta x-touch?

[@SylvesterTheSupernatural]

I'll still stick with my Dirt Devil 103, i dont really trust cordless stuff

[@kiwikid4688]

Then wtf were you doin here in the first place🤷‍♂️

[@omarjimenez8895]

Will you ever cover vintage vacuums? Maybe a comparison between older vacuums and newer vacuums Have vacuums really gotten "better" over time or have they just gotten "fancier"?

[@wesfishcare]

I splurged on the Dyson Humdinger when it first came out, and its phenomenal

[@georgegoodman5213]

Wonder why Eufy H30 is not on this list, has been my go to vacuum for the last years

[@DarkMoxinho]

This guy is just amazing

[@VacuumWars]

thank you!

[@MisterSliBanda]

What’s the point of capping the price for vacuum reviews? I would like to see the Dewalt review

[@VacuumWars]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@Eric_In_SF]

This is a sour category for me. I purchased my vacuum and my carpet cleaner based on your reviews and both were a home run. However I finally got a hold of the homasay (it's sold under a different name on Amazon now) and held vacuum that you recommended a few years back and I hate it sometimes statistics just aren't the deciding factor. The ergonomics of it just kind of suck (pun intended). Not to mention I can't stand that big fat nozzle it has but it's just a little tiny hole that actually goes in so you have to vacuum every time with the long extension tube in for pinpoint accuracy. It does the job though so whatever. If I ever get around to it I may have somebody scan and 3D print a better nozzle

[@frame88multimedia]

Great job

[@VacuumWars]

Thank you!

[@joonlee7884]

Arent most budget cordless vaccums around this price range and also offer handheld mode? With better filters, suction and battery life?

[@StuffTested]

Yeah, these are in the same price range, especially if you find something like a shark cordless vacuum with hepa, refurbished for $100.

[@tektight]

Nice thanks for this!

[@VacuumWars]

No problem!

[@Jozefbonnar]

Are you ever going to be continuing quality comparisons?

[@mymoonny]

Can't wait for cordless vacuum of 2024

[@VacuumWars]

Our most recent Best Cordless Vacuums from late 2023 is still pretty relevant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH6keaqAnJJ8idk

[@dannyho6786]

Thanx !

[@VacuumWars]

You're welcome!

[@AnnaCarmean]

You missed Ryobi. It is great too.

[@SarahAvi]

Can you do a comparison on the slim hand vacs good for small jobs and countertop? I want to know which is the best in that category

[@helencho6280]

Any advice on the KitchenAid Go handheld? I really like that it has a separate removable/replaceable battery. They seem to be following suit in the ecosystem trend.

[@needsomewater]

Looking forward to seeing you review the eufy x10 pro! Ive been eyeing it for a while but i dont wanna bite the bullet until you review it haha

[@VacuumWars]

Our review of the Eufy X10 Pro Omni comes out today at 4 EST.

[@MustPassTruck]

That Shark Wandvac looks so tempting, but is isn't on any review sights top list. Seems line the best option for compact kitchen vac though.

[@Texas_Made_]

For ME: Being able to pick up fine dirt and particles in the carpet inside your car AND battery life needs to be good without overheating😫. Noise doesnt too much bother me🤷🏾‍♀️.

[@joshuaewalker]

If there's a man in the house then there's likely a DeWalt battery in the garage. The DeWalt handheld vacuum that was excluded in this video is hands down the best $99 handheld vacuum you can buy. It's funny because so many people have already gone out of their way to separately buy DeWalt batteries and chargers in order to upgrade their Dyson cordless vacuums. If you have even one DeWalt battery then ignore this entire video and get the DeWalt vacuum.

[@hopesonhigh]

I was wandering if any of these vacuums work while plugged...

[@MNIU_]

I have leather seats and particularly just want something for my car when traveling or road tripping where I would stay in an air bnb I think the shark will work . I wish you guys looked specifically for cars . Bc some of those heads seem like they won’t fit between or under the seats . And a brush roll is not important with leather seats and all weather floor mats . Even my trunk has the all weather floor mats so there’s pretty much no upholstery exposed . However I bought my house vac about 5 years ago bc of reviews from this channel I hope to see one for cars soon. But otherwise I may get the shark.

[@Billyb0b557]

Not included in the list but get the dewalt 20v cordless vaccum. It can be expensive if you dont already have dewalt/other equivalent batteries laying around the house but if you do then it's well worth it. It has a lot of useful tools to clean the car with

[@lasse9706]

I see new Vacuum Wars video, I click.

[@VacuumWars]

Thank you!

[@ewsopp]

Why is the Dyson Humdinger not included in this review?

[@henryvs]

Its more than $100. This list was capped at $100. Do you have the dyson humdinger? It has a 3.9 on Amazon so it doesn't sound great. Im thinking of going with the Bissell.

[@thenukemewing]

Hey do you think you can do a review on the vacuum cleaner called the Henry Quick next?

[@VacuumWars]

It's not in the plan right now but thank you for asking. We appreciate suggestions.

[@hilo9585]

I like the black and decker furbuster, but a major problem is there are no attachments beside the motorized one. At least not in my country nor on amazon. So no brush or anything...

[@karma-616]

I'm just looking for something that won't clog when picking up hay nor cost me $300 lol

[@seriaevans4963]

Can you do an updated video on the best robot mop! I know eufy is coming out with one!

[@VacuumWars]

There are so many interesting ones coming out this year! We will try!

[@Retinaplays]

wouldn't a good stick vacuum be better than these? like you could take off the long wand and you can also just plug in a turbo brush as well with out a wand?

[@aron2922]

Yeah good luck getting that for 90 euros

[@mbohone]

Based on review bought Black and Decker but it has fatal flaw. You CAN'T charge on wall mount. You have to plug in the cord and it is at the top of the vacuum and only goes in a certain way. This should be part of the review. Returning the vacuum. Boo. (note. I had red black and decker which DID have the wall mount that charges. It is the blue one that doesn't).

[@daniellemccall9273]

Im looking for a sealed hepa vacuum to keep in my vehicle. Any advice?

[@the4thj]

Which one would be good at cleaning my big Personal Computer?

[@DasJev]

Are there devices better than jigoo t600 for cleaning beds and couches?

[@artenman]

Isn't the Dyson a handheld?

[@VacuumWars]

This video is covering vacuums at a much lower price.

[@Ubeogesh]

Something's wrong with the budget pick, i cannot find it in google?

[@e2U]

How about the more expensive BEST, with a powered brush roll and Hepa filtration...

[@cameronburrell5651]

Havr you tried out eufys hand vac

[@svenno9951]

I'm looking for this type vacuum to clean cat hair and crumbs (I know) on and around my desk, keyboard etc. I just want it nearby and unobtrusive, works for that, and inexpensive. I have other vacs for other uses. Unfortunately, even the Best Budget winner here is costs twice as much as I want to spend for jobs that basic.

[@areen3982]

Why not have the Dyson option?

[@kukulut]

Price he is testing up to 100 Dollars Dyson is way up to that cap

[@randomvids5883]

Can you review an Oreck elevate?

[@DarkMoxinho]

What you think is best for car ? do you have a video for it ? thanks

[@VacuumWars]

not a car handheld, but we do have the larger car vacuum video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH7Nap6Cpp1_g7csi=6H8W7sU0xfu5Kd0P

[@deathstrider249]

Hey, Craftsman makes a dustbuster you can get with the batteries for under 244. I got my 2.5 gallon shop vacuum from the same brand for under that.

[@deanwilliams433]

I would add charging port. I will not buy any that is not USB C.

[@mralapenosarespicy]

The reason I’m here is because I own your third pick and it’s junk..the battery lasts 3 minutes. I’m looking for a good one and I can’t believe that trash that my wife bought is even on this list. I can’t trust your video at all now

[@fandydiadline]

It seems the faulty battery might be the culprit here.

[@sixgradename]

budget pick, battery problem that could easily be fixed or replaced. got it.

[@fredperry3063]

Sounds like a battery issue, did you replace that?

[@Noctareus]

Had the same issue I understand your pain 😢

[@ActuallyGoose]

If the battery only lasts 3 minutes it's 100% a device fault, and I would 100% recommend taking it back under warranty.

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

"this year I decided to cap the price at $100 on the top end" wtf? why????

[@fredio54]

Dyson don't make a handheld vac? This cannot be!

[@fredio54]

Turns out they don't. Only stick types that can lose the stick as needed.

[@TheKingsComingAlefTav]

If somebody's complaining about weight of a vacuum or even a handheld vacuum they've lost already and that's completely ridiculous

[@janine8140]

Definitely a helpful metric for elderly or disabled people though I’m sure it’s appreciated by some

[@TheKingsComingAlefTav]

@@janine8140 not too many elderly or disabled people looking into the weight of a vacuum especially on KZbin

Finally

[@RTZ205]

Corded handheld vacuums don't make any sense! Hand vacuum are meant to be convenient to use so adding a cord to them just seem wrong!

[@HiCZoK]

what about more expensive? handhelds are trash without motorized rollers. 100% need them for car mats

[@coolnewpants]

The battery life on these always seem to be insufficient. Would be interested what your pick is for best handheld CORDED vacuum.

[@kc5077]

This is a great idea. Corded vacuums are cheaper and they won't have run time limits, both because they don't have batteries.

@@VacuumWarsWe have had ours for 3 years and aside from regular maintenance it's been working great. I would take points off because the powerhead attachment is very prone to clogging and getting tangled up with hair.

[@sandiegojoey1]

My brother sister in-law has the Shark WS642AE, it's for light work, just quick spot cleans, but my wife really like the idea of self emptying. I went to your website and unless I want to click on every cordless stick vacuum and read the reviews, I can't tell which ones are self emptying very easily. Any chance you'll allow a search by feature, or add that specific category? And if somehow you read this, which self emptying ones do you like the most?

[@pjaxy]

Whith a quantitative ranking system like this, a full sized upright vacuum will be the overwall winner. It will win all categories (power, battery life, fearures) except the one that defines a handheld vacuum: weight. Usability is so important to a vacuum cleaner especially in the handheld category. I'd like to see less focus on which one has the highest airflow and more information on stuff like: Which one is best for car cleaning duties? -comes with attachments like crevice tool -work well with low pile carpets and upholstery -can fit around tight spaces Which one is best for cleaning up quick messes? -light, easy to use and convenient Which one is best for cleaning up after pets? -good with hair, wet mess Which one is best for regular house cleaning? -long battery life, good power Which one stores best? -dock and storage for attachments

[@moe-eo7pr]

Truly agree

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

I was looking for storage (and how attachments are stored) info, too.

[@Okamine]

Vacuums ❤

[@marvinn3000]

This would be so much more useful if you'd have made available all of test results of all vacuums in all categories. Otherwise you only presented winners for your own defined use case, which is cool I guess if everyone's use case was the same, but it's not. Like when comes to attachments I don't care for spinning brush thing at all, what I do care is one which will get into tight crevices, or one with a normal brush at the end, or hose extension. Get my drift? For future videos, please remember that your own use case is not a universal one, fit for all, or even for a vast majority.

[@nblandfriends]

Great video as per usual. I was in the market recently for a handheld, with a new puppy in the house. I'm a bit of a Shark loyalist and the Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus, has been great so far. The motorized brush roll really does make a difference.

[@VacuumWars]

Glad you are happy with those, and congrats on your new puppy!

[@Aryck143]

I'm getting rid of mine, the cheap plastic piece on the end where you insert attachments has broken twice and it's not covered under warranty 👎

[@gj1234567899999]
