By


Black & Decker PHV1810
Black & Decker updated their previous hand-held vacuum, giving it more suction power, cup capacity, and quieter performance. This whistle-shaped pivoting vacuum reaches all the awkward places you need to clean. The built-in brush in the nozzle makes it effective at cleaning upholstery of pet hair and dust. All the tools are onboard, meaning you won’t have to worry about losing them. The battery lasts long enough that you can clean the average size house, and the vacuum features an LED indicator light to let you know it’s charging. Cleaning up is simple too; the new version lets you pull out the dirt cup and filter to rinse them out in the sink. This Black & Decker model is available for $51.54.
