We love the design of the Shark Premium Handheld Vacuum WV270UK. Sleek, slim and lightweight at just under 700g – what's not to like? From collecting crumbs on the kitchen worktops to pet hair in between the sofa cushions, it offers two suction modes so you can choose the perfect power for the task at hand. It charges while stored on its base and has a one-touch, easy-empty dust cup. 

Our reviews editor, Emily Gilbert, tested this and shared her thoughts: "As much as I love my Dyson V15 Detect, I was after something smaller that I could use for quickly sucking up dry spillages and pesky crumbs and the Shark WandVac has been ideal. Not only does it look great on our kitchen counter but it's lovely and lightweight and so easy to whip out and use whenever I need. I personally find the battery lasts long enough for my needs but I appreciate some with bigger houses may want longer."

Weighing less than 1kg, this handheld vacuum is perfect for people who struggle with mobility, but that doesn't mean compromising on power. As one reviewer said: "My wife wanted a lightweight hoover that had a strong enough suction for carpet edges around skirting boards. Excellent, very light and powerful. Happy wife, happy life."

We love that it comes with a dusting brush, so it's not too harsh on delicate surfaces, and there's two different cleaning speeds too. You can get about 30 minutes use from a single charge, which should be fine for cleaning up light messes.

Great to grab for those quick jobs, the Black+Decker Wet and Dry Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner will suck up crumbs and spills in a jiffy. The two-in-one functionality means that it's not just designed for dry messes, but it will effortlessly scoop up spilt liquids like coffee or juice, too. It's super manoeuvrable, so it can get into all those awkward nooks and crannies you may not be able to reach otherwise.

Customers have praised it for being "powerful, and picks up all small items, wet or dry," and saying "It is good for vacuuming things off the carpet, excellent for hoovering the car, not heavy, easy to use and comes with added attachments."

The clever BLACK+DECKER PV1820LGB Compact Pivot Vacuum features a nozzle that pivots up to 200 degrees, making it ideal to access those awkward spaces from any angle. It's perfect for cleaning lampshades, between sofa cushions, and higher shelves, as well as car interiors. The flip-out brush is great for those delicate surfaces, and there's also an integrated extendable crevice to tackle between sofa cushions and car seats quickly and easily.

Customers have a lot of praise for the suction, saying: "The suction power is great. I'd rate its power 5/5." But have also mentioned "It's a little heavy on the hand, especially if you've been holding it for the full length of its run time (approximately 10 minutes at full charge)."

However, they add: "The extendable hose at the front of the vacuum is very useful - as is the pivoting mechanism which enables you to reach otherwise difficult places."

Mini but mighty, the Eufy HomeVac may weigh in at just 1.2 lbs, but it certainly packs a punch with 5500Pa suction power to help you suck up every spec. The sleek, non-slip design makes it comfortable to hold with precise handling at the same time, so you can easily whip it out for those little crumbs and other messes on your countertops. Make use of the extension nozzle to help you deep clean the corners of your sofa, or, as this customer does: "I use this fabulous little vac in my conservatory for sucking up dead flies and small bits of debris the dogs bring in."

They go on to praise the length of charge, which we think is seriously impressive: "I was careful to fully charge it before first use and run it completely flat. The charge lasted two weeks, and I use it two or three times a day. Super easy emptying, storing (looks very neat) and charging."

Customers praise this vacuum as: "A handy little kitchen tool, always on standby and compact."
If you're after a nifty little vacuum to clean up smaller messes around the home and in the car without breaking the bank, we'd recommend the Beldray BEL01096 Airlite Handheld Vacuum. You can be tough on those more stubborn areas as it has dual speed settings to help you tackle them and a crevice tool when you need a more targeted clean, such as in between seats and sofa cushions.
It's also super lightweight, making it ideal if you have any mobility issues, and we love that it's suitable for allergy sufferers with its HEPA filter.
