Best Handheld Vacuum For Human Hair (2025 Update)

I wanted a handheld and cordless vacuum for sucking up small messes (hair in the bathroom, dirt tracked in by my dog, small stuff I see on the floor in between regular vacuum and mopping). I was a little worried that the battery life wouldn’t be long but I was wrong. The battery lasts a long time!! I have spot cleaned around the house 3 times on a single charge. I plan on removing this from the charger rather than leaving it charging all the time in order to preserve the battery life. The suction for a small vacuum is amazing. I decided on this vacuum because a family member owns the regular, green model and after using it at their home, I felt it would be right for me. When I saw the pet pro model, I decided on it instead as I do have a dog. I am honestly very impressed with this Shark. This is my first Shark purchase. I would highly recommend this vacuum.

I have bought now bought four of these first-rate rechargeable hand-helds, two for myself and two others as gifts. Thes are hands-down the most powerful and versatile portable vacuums I've ever had, and I've had many over the years. The suction is excellent, the filter is washable (I now keep a few spares), and this is perfect for tiny spot-cleaning jobs (like shelf corners in the panty), thorough car and household upholstery "sweeps," cleaning equipment and keyboards — well, just plain everything. I can't recommend this item highly enough! Brilliantly conceived and engineered, Bissel!!

This is the absolute best handheld vacuum I have used. You really do get 15 minutes of cleaning time from the battery. The ease of emptying, and removing the filter is the best of all competitors. I have peace of mind, that Bissell will be able to provide filters and parts…since I can order them direct from the manufacturer. Unlike buying vacuums in big box stores, who never have the filters or parts in stock. The motorized head is what sets this handheld apart from all others. It cleans area rugs easily, since it does not suck the entire rug from the floor. The motorized head is easy to take apart for cleaning, and is well designed. I cannot say enough good things about this handheld vacuum and I highly recommend it.

I love the suction power of this little hoover. It's so handy in my job as a childminder to quickly pick up crumbs. The jobs it makes so simple are pvc door frames at the bottom where dirt gets trapped or the cutlery drawer. Using the brush attachment on those jobs cuts the time it takes to complete the tasks. I have to give a mention to Eufy customer support who replaced my hoover after the rubber nozzle stopper was lost. It is a bit of a design fault and renders the hoover useless when it goes missing. Now my whole household are aware of the part we can take care when emptying the dustbin. The exchange was very quick and dealt with efficiently & friendly. Really pleased.

Good little vacuum. Suction isn't great, don't expect it to be anywhere near other cordless levels but it's good for the odd cleanup around the room. Sometimes can have trouble picking up things it's directly pointed at, closer approach to the floor is needed. Filter is good, a little too good because it clogs up with dust frequently. Regular cleaning / emptying required in order to maintain the already limited suction power. Battery was excellent out the box. Now about a month later I can see it depletes within 10 minutes or so. Charging with micro USB is a plus and 2/3 charge bar level can do a decent sized room comfortably. Overall good product; it's lightweight, off button can annoyingly be accidentally hit but no big deal, easy to clean reusable filters are a bonus, brush extension is good but with the extra length you can noticeably tell power is being lost. Nothing that will rival the big boys like Dyson and Shark but it's reflected in the price, great for cars or general dusting in hard to reach places with conventional vacuum tubes. You could look at the lack of suction as a positive; it won't grab objects, instead gently removes the dust. I'd recommend but buying at around £25.

According to the marketing materials and the product manual the filters are washable. The joke is that you can't separate the outside pre-filter from the inside filter as shown in the product manual or the marketing material. The outer filter is supposed to twist on and off (contrary to the manual, page 10, that shows it coming straight off) but it was so tight that I indented and almost broke out the fine mesh of the outer screen in the process. The reassembly process and the small icon on the filter show it twisting on and off. Even so, I had to use a pocket knife to get it loose enough to remove. I have no idea how a person with weak hands could accomplish this. Just another case of a techy designer using a CAD system and never testing it outside of the computer geek world, shoving it into production and screwing the consumer in the process. I won't buy another one.

Bought this when we were trying to find a litter substrate everyone agreed on- my little guise STILL hold litter in their forepaws and distribute it through my apartment. This hand vac, and it's attachments, quickly became the only vacuum in my studio. we've moved to a much larger apartment and this is still the only vacuum we need- a pass or two over our couch takes ALL of the cat hair. It also pulls the sisal thread out of the carpeted cat tree on a single sweep! Storing this thing, though. I'm here to see if theres an official wall mount. (I can't find it, if there is one.) I tend to leave the narrow tube attached to it; i need that one the most. Even without it, its too long for every drawer and cabinet I have; its current home is under the low coffeetable my TV is on. As such, its kicked sometimes. This thing does not care. I'm glad that the dust bucket is so well connected, and so thick that it resists cracks. My only gripe is truly that this needs some sort of dock to hold or sort the accessories, keep the cable somewhere memorable, and hold the vaccuum somewhere easily accessible.

I received this product less than two months ago, and used it once or twice per week to clean cat hair off my couch and door mat. At first I was very pleased with how much dust and hair it picked up. But by 6 weeks in, the filter was so badly clogged that the vacuum barely picks anything up. I had been dutifully cleaning off the filters and knocking as much dirt out as possible in between every cleaning, even though the instructions say you don't need to do this very often. I'm just not willing to buy new filters every 6 weeks to keep this vacuum running. Right now, a lint brush is doing a better job in 10% of the time it would take to try to clean that couch.

I had been holding off on buying a cordless vacuum for a few years now as I seriously doubted their ability to rival the power and usage time of a corded vacuum. However, since I took the plunge about two months ago and bought this shining machine from heaven, our (still awesome) 8-year-old corded Dyson hasn't left its closet. We vacuum a lot. We have three small-ish children, and I can't stand dirty floors. Before our familial cordless revolution, this meant after every spill/meal we had to drag a heavy vacuum out, unwrap, plug in (possibly in multiple locations), vacuum, unplug, wrap up, return heavy vacuum to closet. All this meant we were more likely to opt out of cleaning up due to the pure hassle. But no more! Now it as simple as: lift off charger, vacuum LITERALLY ANYWHERE YOU WANT, return to charger, job done. This has led to an all-around MUCH cleaner house; we even use this for dusting the ceiling and walls because it is SO convenient. But you might be thinking that I forgot about my reservations due to loss of power in a cordless vacuum, but no! I have not once found this vacuum to lack the power I needed for a specific task; it automatically adjusts itself to different floor types as you go, leaving not a speck of spilled flour, nor a crumb of toast on the floor once it is finished, on carpet or hardwood. This also means the battery lasts far longer than we have ever needed it to. When the vacuum is removed from the charger and the trigger is pulled, it gives a running estimate of how long your vacuum session can be sustained as you go based on the type of floor and what power setting you have it on. The power settings are Eco, Auto/Med, and Boost. Eco is great for vacuuming lighter weight floor mats as it isn't so powerful as to try to suck up the mat itself (the suction adjustment on the cleaner head can also help fine tune for such mats). Auto/Med is great for just about everything else, it can easily go directly from the carpeted office, to the tile entryway, to the hardwood dining room, and it quickly adjusts itself appropriately. Boost is very handy for vacuuming a single medium sized room (maybe more depending on how you vacuum) very thoroughly, or for quick jobs in the car (also GREAT for those with kids). I have only had to use the Boost power setting a few times so far, and the countdown usually tells me I have about 12 minutes runtime when I begin. I have not yet run out of power on any job, and only drained it down to about 20% once on a particularly intense automotive cleanup. Obviously, this is not meant to last a full interior detail of a car while on Boost, but that's why we still have the corded vacuum for those occasional deep-cleaning-for-hours jobs, but in all other cases, this gem takes the cake! The included tools are sturdy and useful as well, we use the crevasse, stiff brush, and the mini motorized head most frequently. The only shortcoming is the lack of a flexible hose, but that can be easily remedied for a reasonable price as it is sold separately. Also, you may find it useful to purchase expansion pieces for storing the tools, the charger and vacuum only come with space to store four tools, and the Torque Drive we received included five and we added the hose as well, making six. Overall, we could not be happier with the purchase! Yes, it was expensive, but man! It is worth every penny!
