If you have pets, look for a vacuum with a motorised brush attachment to help lift pet hair from furniture, carpets and car interiors.

Handheld vacuums are designed for small, quick cleaning jobs, while handstick vacuums suit larger floor areas. Some handstick vacuums can also convert into handheld units.
Is a handheld vacuum worth having if I already own a regular vacuum?
Many households use a handheld vacuum alongside a full-sized vacuum cleaner. They are useful for quick clean-ups, stairs, furniture and car interiors without needing to bring out a larger machine.
What attachments should I look for?
Common attachments include crevice tools for narrow spaces, brush tools for delicate surfaces, and motorised pet tools for removing hair from furniture and upholstery.
Are handheld vacuums good for families with young children?
Yes. They're ideal for cleaning crumbs, snack spills and everyday messes from furniture, high chairs, and car seats.
Are handheld vacuums good for cleaning cars and stairs?
