It is therefore a very useful device for household cleaning, whenever the standard vacuum cleaner is too bulky.
When choosing such a small and functional appliance, there may be several aspects to keep in mind, here are some of them:
Various battery-powered vacuum cleaners are widespread on the market, offering the possibility of detaching the motor to become a convenient handheld vacuum cleaner.
These are called “2-in-1 vacuum cleaners”. When deciding whether to buy a 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner or a handheld vacuum cleaner, it is important to consider the model of vacuum cleaner you already have, a brand-new or an old one.
