This Tiny Handheld Vacuum 'Works Like a Charm' on Hard-to-Clean Items

They say the devil is in the details, and it's certainly true when it comes to cleaning. A quick sweep with your robot vacuum on your living room floor might pick up big pieces of debris like pet hair, food crumbs, and dirt, but it's much harder to clean tiny nooks and crannies all around your house. With handheld vacuums that have thin nozzles, it can be a struggle to get the angle right, too, and that's why it might be best to attack these small cracks, crevices, and openings that easily gather dust with an even tinier appliance—like this mini handheld vacuum by Dealswin that Amazon shoppers love.

The vacuum's small head can fit easily in cracks on keyboards, in air conditioning and heater grates, on delicate decor, and over appliances that might gather dust themselves (think Monica Geller and her vacuums), so it's no wonder shoppers keep raving about it. One reviewer said this little gadget "works like a charm" on crumbs, hair, and eraser debris, and right now you can find it discounted at Amazon for just $19.

To buy: $19 (was $22); amazon.com.

Don't underestimate this small vacuum because of its size. It charges via a USB cord, and after a full recharge, it will last for up to an hour of continuous suction. It even has two side air vents to prevent overheating. It's "very very useful and powerful for keyboard cleaning," according to a reviewer, and comes with two types of nozzles (one flat and one brush) to use on different types of surfaces.

Even shoppers who had doubts said the little vacuum ultimately "impressed" them. One said that they tested it out on several keyboards and it cleaned them so well, "each keyboard tapped almost like new again." They added that it's perfect to "get at those tiny areas that never seem to come fully clean" on items around your house.

The best part is that you can remove its filter, nozzle, and brush to wash for an easy clean, and since it's so tiny, you can easily bring it with you on the go—just think how convenient it would be to use on dirty cupholders on road trips and to clean out crumbs and loose bits of paper from your backpack or tote bag.

Others say it's perfect for hobbyists and household appliances like sewing machines that can easily be covered in a blanket of dust. A shopper called it "perfect for hobbyists" and shared that they used it to clean up around a model train layout. It "works perfectly," they added, since it only picks up dust and debris scattered around without disturbing the attached pieces.

At just $19—and measuring only 8 inches long—Dealswin's mini vacuum cleaner is a small, affordable appliance that really punches above its weight. Get it at Amazon here while it's on sale.
