Discover the Power of Portable Vacuum Cleaners: Cleaning on the Go

Portable vacuum cleaners might be one of the best investments you ever make. They offer the power of a full-sized vacuum cleaner but take up less space and are easier to carry and handle. As a result, you can use them for less conventional cleaning tasks, from sucking up spilled cereal on the breakfast table to removing sand from your car’s floor after a trip to the beach. Here we look at the power of portable vacuum cleaners and the many benefits “cleaning on the go” brings to your home.

The Power of Portable Vacuum Cleaners

Efficient Cleaning

Handheld vacuums are very efficient because they are small and easy to manage. You can use them to clean all kinds of surfaces, including hard-to-reach spots between couch cushions, along the dusty, crumby edge between your mattress and box spring, the corners on your stairs, cobwebs along the ceiling, or the tops of dusty shelves. Instead of dusting areas by hand, you can use attachments to tackle all kinds of surfaces quickly and efficiently. 

Portable Vacuums are Small and Lightweight

There is a reason size matters when it comes to vacuums. You can maneuver portable vacuum cleaners with less effort, which makes it easier to reach those awkward spaces like dust bunnies in the laundry room, salty boot trays in the winter, dusty closet floors and shelves, crumby kitchen cabinets and drawers, etc.

They are very compact, so you can clean with them on the go without dragging a vacuum hose around like you would with central vac systems or trying to manipulate stick vacuums that are clearly designed for floors. Their weight is also easier to handle, making them the ideal cleaning tool for people who can’t manage heavy lifting.

Cordless Convenience

Portable vacuum cleaners are just that – portable. Because they are usually cordless, you can charge them and use them around the house, as well as in the shed, garage, car, etc. You can also take them along on camping trips and vacations, or use them outdoors to help keep your backyard furniture clean. As a bonus, you also don’t have to worry about tripping over the cord.

Pet-Friendly

If you have pets, life is always easier with a portable vacuum cleaner like the Bissel Little Green Pet Eraser. You can remove pet hair in seconds, whether it’s from furniture, on the stairs, curtains, pet beds, and just about anywhere. Better yet, you can choose a dry/wet portable vacuum to tackle pet messes before they set in and start to smell and cause stains.

Cleanup on the Ready

Tackle spills and accidents like overturned houseplants quickly with a portable vacuum. Various attachments make tackling different kinds of messes easier, and as mentioned, wet vac features are also available.

Perfect for Small Spaces

Smaller homes need smaller cleaning tools due to limited storage. The portable vacuum is a great small-space solution ideal for condos, apartments, campers, boats, and more.

Affordable

Portable vacuum cleaners are also affordable, with a wide range of options available to suit any budget. Adding more features and attachments costs more yet allows you to tackle most of the work a standard vacuum does at a fraction of the price.

As you can see, the portable vacuum cleaner is a powerful cleaning tool designed to make life easier. Whether you choose a Karcher, Dyson, AirStream, or one of the many high-quality brands available, having a handheld vacuum makes good sense, providing a valuable tool to make house cleaning more efficient.
