The Dyson V7 Trigger is a top choice for those looking for a cordless handheld vacuum cleaner.
It boasts the highest suction power of any smaller handheld vacuum cleaner we have reviewed; however it isn’t as powerful as some of Dyson’s other models, such as the Dyson V10 Cycle or Dyson Ball Multifloor Upright Vacuum Cleaner. Of course, if you’re specifically looking for a smaller handheld vacuum cleaner, then comparing it to an upright model is comparing apples to oranges.
While no handheld vacuum cleaner is designed for cleaning large houses, it’s an excellent household tool to clean up plant debris, dust, pet fur, and areas on the stairs that the regular vacuum cannot reach. With a run time of 30 minutes, it’s also a great tool to clean up the car, caravan or motor home too.
Rating: Ranked #1 in our Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaners buyers guide.
