What is a "handheld vacuum cleaner"?
A handheld vacuum cleaner is a small, portable device used for cleaning up dirt, dust, and debris in tight spaces or on small surfaces. It is lightweight and designed to be held in one hand, making it easy to use for quick cleanups. Handheld vacuums are commonly used for cleaning upholstery, car interiors, stairs, and other areas where a regular vacuum may be too bulky. They are powered by batteries or a cord and often come with different attachments to reach various areas and provide more efficient cleaning.
Examples
