No matter how often I clean and try different ways to reduce dust in my home, it’s not uncommon to still find the rogue dustball hiding somewhere. Which is why the idea of a mini, handheld vacuum cleaner sounds appealing to quickly tackle those light, dust-busting tasks — and there’s a dime a dozen on the market.
Since I test the best vacuum cleaners for a living, I’d become skeptical of such mini alternatives that claim to do a good job at cleaning. And in my experience, they’ve either lacked the suction or pick-up power to do an adequate job, or they were so small and poorly made that they would inevitably break in no time.
