Black Decker Dustbuster

The best everyday pick — the original, most popular handheld: a light, cordless, rechargeable grab-and-go vac with decent suction for crumbs, dust, and everyday spills on floors, furniture, stairs, and the car, with built-in tools, easy emptying, and a charging base. Modest power and runtime, but unbeatable everyday convenience and value.

The Black+Decker Dustbuster nails the core job — convenient, grab-and-go cordless cleanup of everyday messes — reliably and affordably, which is why it's the original and still most popular handheld. It's a light, cordless, rechargeable handheld with decent suction for crumbs, dust, dirt, and everyday spills on hard floors, furniture, stairs, and in the car, with a flip-up brush and crevice tool for upholstery and tight spaces. Modern lithium models hold a charge well, empty easily (pop-off bowl, rinsable filter), and mount on a charging base ready to grab. It's inexpensive, light enough for one-handed use by anyone, simple, and dependable for the quick cleanups a handheld is actually for, with Black+Decker's reliability and everywhere-available parts. Its suction and runtime are modest (it struggles with heavy ingrained pet hair), but for everyday convenience, ease, and value, it's the one most people should buy.
