But if you’d rather…

Black+Decker dustbuster AdvancedClean — cordless handheld
…SPEND LESS · Black+Decker dustbuster AdvancedClean — $44.99 · 73
Researched as the trusted-brand cordless: an 18,000-review dustbuster with a rotating, extendable nozzle that folds flat to reach under seats and along seams. Not the strongest suction here, but the fit-and-forget reliability and easy-empty bowl earn it.

Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ CH951 — cordless handheld
…SPEND MORE (+$24) · Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ CH951 — $99.99 · 75
Researched as the best cordless pick for pet owners: a multi-cyclonic handheld with a self-cleaning motorized Pet Power Brush that pulls embedded hair from carpet and seats. Runtime is short like all cordless handhelds, but suction and the anti-hair-wrap brush stand out in this class.
