A full-size vacuum cleaner is great for deep cleaning, but for quick sweeps at home and on the go, a cordless handheld model shines.
Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Thursday, November 20, and an array of handheld vacuums are among the best deals to snag right now. We found six picks with impressive discounts -- ranging from 70 to 80 percent off -- but these deals are exclusively for Amazon Prime members.
Normally $150, this handheld vacuum is down to just $38 today for Prime members, thanks to Black Friday savings. The compact tool weighs about 1 pound, but it packs powerful suction into a small package. A washable HEPA filter traps dust and debris, preventing particles from traveling back into the air.
It includes a flexible hose, a wide-mouth brush tool, and a long suction nozzle attachment, all tailored to specific cleaning needs like freshening up upholstery and reaching into tight nooks and crannies.
"[This] vacuum cleaner is an absolute must-have for anyone seeking a hassle-free and efficient cleaning experience for smaller spaces -- car, crawl space, whatever, really," one reviewer raved. "Its combination of cordless freedom, impressive suction, illumination, and effortless cleanup makes it such a valuable addition to my cleaning routine."
With a run-time of up to 34 minutes, you can easily tackle a messy keyboard or pair of sandy car floor mats in a single go with this vacuum. It has a sleek, ergonomic design and includes a charging dock to conveniently store the vacuum and its attachments. It also has two suction levels to boost power when you need it and conserve battery for smaller jobs. It's equipped with bright LED lights to illuminate dark corners and make it easy to spot hidden debris.
"It's a lot quieter than the other handheld vacuums I've used in the past -- even my cats aren't bothered by the sound," one shopper shared.
This whisper-quiet model emits less than 75 decibels of noise when running, so you can clean in the dead of night or early morning without waking up the entire house. It has a conveniently-located on and off button on the handle and a separate button to easily empty the spacious dustcup. To charge it, you simply plug the device into a USB-C cable, of which you probably have several laying around your house, and it’s fully powered in just three hours.
“It easily picks up dry debris like crumbs, dust bunnies, pet fur, and even the little pebbles my kid sometimes brings in from the playground,” one shopper noted, adding that “the included attachments are genuinely useful—not just throw-ins.”
Simplify your cleaning routine and grab one of these small yet mighty handheld vacuums while they're on sale at Amazon. Then keep scrolling to shop more models with deep discounts for Prime members.
