Best corded handheld vacuum

  • Inexpensive
Cons
  • Not cordless
  • Mixed performance on pet hair
  • Noisy
  • Filters aren't reusable

The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Corded Hand Vacuum, while praised in one professional review, doesn't get rave reviews for picking up pet hair from carpet; however owners enthusiastically praise this corded hand vacuum's ability to remove fur from upholstery. It has a 16-foot cord, and its HEPA filter minimizes the emission of allergens. If you prefer a cordless handheld vacuum, the Black & Decker 18V Pivot Vac PHV1810 (*Est. $55) seems to have on-par performance.
