For the longest time I was using a dustpan and broom to get my kid’s crumbs after meals. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but it was annoying. I finally decided to treat myself to a handheld vacuum, and I literally do not regret anything but waiting so long to get one. It’s one of those small things that did make one part of parenting so much less work. Now that my baby is a big kid, she happily vacuums up after meals that are somehow still messy years later. 

Promising review: “Suction, battery life, ease of use, ergonomics. This is hands-down the best handheld vacuum that I have ever used or owned. I use it to pick up where my Shark robot vacuum doesn’t or is not convenient to use. Around the coffee table, baseboards, kitchen stove top ETC.” —darryl

Price: $39.99 (originally $99.99)
