I remember being very skeptical about hand-held vacuums the first time I saw one. I already had one of those HEPA vacuums, and I found my vacuum to be pretty powerful. But cleaning those small rooms is much easier with those hand-held vacuums. They are not only portable and easy to carry around, but they make it easy to clean rooms without hurting your back or putting too much effort. And best of all, a lot of them are energy efficient as well. Whether you want to clean pet hair or just clean the rooms in your home, these 4 cool hand-held vacuums come in very handy:

Bissell 1400B Little Green Deep Cleaner: an eco friendly compact deep cleaner for small and large rooms. Removes stains and spills as well. If you’ve got stain on your carpet or rug, this is a good device to tackle it with.

Black & Decker PHV1800CB Handheld Vacuum: a very powerful and affordable vacuum for those who want to maintain a clean home. It’s an energy star vacuum as well. And you don’t have to deal with wires either.

Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum: comes with a 5.5 amp suction with stretch hose cleans cars, upholstery, stairs. Great for around the house. Weighs only 5 pounds.

Bissell 33A1 Pet Hair Eraser: this is my favorite vacuum. As someone who owns multiple pets, I can tell you that the pet hair is a big issue. If you don’t take care of the issue, you are going to end up with pet hair all over the place (on the couch, the rug, and everywhere in between).
Portable vacuums are great gadgets to own if you want to keep your house clean without bringing those large vacuums out. They are great for a quick clean-up and get the job done. And they are energy efficient too. Can’t get better than that.
