Despite its small size, the Dirt Devil vacuum is powerful, suctioning up crumbs, hair, and dust bunnies with the push of a button. It has a wide 10-inch cleaning path to cover hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpeting with minimal effort and time. And although the vacuum is great on the ground, you'll probably want to use it beyond your floors, too. 

That's because the built-in handheld vacuum pops right off the base, letting you suck up pet hair on the sofa and crushed cereal on upholstered chairs. This Dirt Devil even comes with a long crevice attachment to clean things like fan blades and tight corners. 

And because it's compact and lightweight, some shoppers confessed to replacing their heavy-duty vacuums with the Dirt Devil for daily or light cleaning in their reviews. The 3.74-pound vacuum is easy to take up the stairs, push on carpets, and transition from one room to the next, they say.
