Handheld vacuums - FFA Consumer Reports (1 Viewer)

Right now, we have a handheld vacuum that is about 12 years old. It's OK, but it's on it's last leg. I was trying to find a good one that is great for pet hair, easy to use on the stairs but I don't want to break the bank on a new one. Hoping to keep it under $150. What do you guys use and/or what do you recommend?

TIA

We use our Dyson for this. I know it's not a handheld, but I use that thing everywhere and works like a champ.

Used it to vacuum out kids car funk yesterday for the family vehicle.

My wife loves these and they're cheap. We have two - one on each end of the house.

I'm looking for something that is more like this. A canister vacuum? Is that what they're called?

in another thread- maybe the "items you like" or whatever- people were talking about a Shark vacuum. or maybe just those 3d shark posters where you had to look really squinty or get high to see the shark. one of those.

At this price, you should buy it right away... Advertised as 3x stronger than any other handheld on the market and I believe it. I love this thing!

Saw complaints on this thing that it's too loud and the battery doesn't last very long.
