I’m obsessed with cleaning, and this mini cordless vacuum — on sale for 55% off

My family laughs now, because as a kid, my room was always the messiest in the house. But now, as an adult, I’ve had friends ask, “Is your home always this clean?” The answer is yes — I love to clean. And I own three vacuums: a robovac, a cordless stick and a mini hand-held one. The mini vacuum is my favorite for using in the kitchen after cooking to clean up scraps and crumbs, and it’s small size makes it a breeze to use. Want to get your own post-meal prep vac? Now’s a good time to buy. The Amazon top-selling Eufy by Anker HomeVac H11 is 55% off on Amazon, bringing it down to just $36.

Why is this a good deal?

While this handheld vac goes on sale every so often, this is the lowest price it’s been in the last three months. Plus, I promise keeping one nearby will save you so much time in the long run. No need to get out a big vacuum for small messes — this thing will do the trick and do it fast.

Why do I need this?

The Eufy by Anker HomeVac H11 is super lightweight — 1.2 pounds — and about the size of a wind bottles. It’s cordless, too, so it doesn’t feel like a chore to get it out of the closet. It’s rechargeable battery will give you up to 13 minutes of max power, though charging is easy; it connects to any USB port. Plus, it’s 2-in-1 crevice tool can help you reach all the nooks and crannies.

The brand describes this as a car vacuum, so of course, you could use it there. The fact that it charges via a USB port (available in most vehicles) means you could keep it in the trunk for when messes arise.

Personally, I keep my mini vacuum under the kitchen sink and use it at least twice a day. I rely on it after cooking to pick up any small pieces of food that may have fallen on the floor (or even on the countertop) and to suck up crumbs under the kitchen table after meals. But I occasionally use it for other things too, like to clean up dusty corners, couch cushions, hard to reach areas (like behind the toilet or under the fridge) and even my dryer’s lint trap.

This handheld vacuum is small enough to keep in your car, a drawer, under the sink or anywhere else you may want to grab it from quickly. (Amazon)

What reviewers say:

The eufy by Anker HomeVac H11 has over 3,500 five-star reviews on Amazon.

“Works like magic!” says one happy customer. “It is powerful and works wonderfully cleaning breadcrumbs on the table or countertops, or any mess on your couch. Pretty easy to operate and clean.”

In fact, it’s so easy to use, one shopper says their toddler can operate it! “This thing picks up my toddler’s crumbs from my couch really well,” they write. “My toddler was using it right out of the box, by herself —thats how light it is, easy to use and manageable.”

“Excellent kitchen vacuum,” shares another shopper. “Great vacuum to get into small kitchen spaces like stove tops, stove corners and [even] pet messes. Love the USB charger. Can fit in a drawer too!

One downside is that because it’s small, it can’t hold a ton of dust and other debris, but it’s super easy to dump out.

“We’ve had this for two years and it’s still running great and holding a charge,” another five-star fan writes. “It can’t hold a ton of debris but it hasn’t been an issue for us. We use it to pick up minor messes and spills and just empty it when we’re done. Compared to a full size vacuum it’s insufficient, but it’s not really meant to vacuum an entire room.”
