Black & Decker CHV1510
A powerful hand-held cordless vacuum, this 15.6-volt Black & Decker model features a long nozzle that lets you reach more areas without having to stretch or bend over. We liked how quick and easy it was to dump out the dirt cup without much mess, and the transparent container shows you at a glance when it’s full. On a single charge the vacuum lasts long enough to handle small areas like your car or couch cushions. With a wide mouth, it also cleans up dry messes on hardwoods quite well. It’s convenient having onboard tools, and you’ll also feel better knowing the vacuum is Energy Star compliant. The vacuum costs $44.99.
