In college, there’s no end to the things that your young adult will have to worry about. Think grades, social life, keeping in touch with family and staying on their roommate's good side. An often overlooked part of college life is dorm room maintenance.

Getting your kid a full-sized vacuum for their tiny dorm space may be impractical. For something that makes a bit more sense, there’s a low-profile handheld vacuum that's easy to use and compact enough to stow in small spaces. This vacuum is a definite life-saver for any college student.

While this vacuum may be small, it’s equipped with numerous convenient features. Many vacuums plug into the wall or have a charging dock, but this handheld option only requires a universal USB type-C cable. Even if your child loses the included power cord, they can use a USB cable to charge it quickly. Fully charged, it can last up to 20 minutes, perfect for the fast cleaning jobs a dorm or car requires.

One of the benefits of shopping online is the access to multiple consumer opinions. With over 1,200 five-star ratings on Amazon, this handheld vacuum is definitely a good investment. One happy purchaser even says that it, “works so well” and that they “use it every day.”

This portable hand vacuum will work perfectly for quick cleanups in small spaces. Get one to send to campus with your child today and clip the checkout coupon for an extra 5% off the already discounted price.
