No matter how you clean your house, there's one thing we can all agree on: You simply cannot live without a vacuum cleaner. Sure, it's nice to have a steam mop that'll get rid of sticky spots, but you inarguably need a vacuum to suck up everything from teeny messes to big spills.
If you're not sure where to start, consider the Shark 2-in-1 Cordless & Handheld Vacuum, which is currently on sale at Amazon. The device is designed with two cyclonic air streams, which promote an incredibly powerful suction that effortlessly picks up all the dirt, dust, and pet dander scattered around the house. Weighing in at just under 3 pounds, the lightweight vacuum is easy to carry from room to room. Plus, it's outfitted with an extra-large dust cup with a hands-free disposal button, so you literally won't have to get your hands dirty.
Users can transform the vacuum into a handheld device as well, so you'll be able to target above-ground messes, such as cleaning upholstery, curtains, and car interiors. It also comes with extra accessories, including a crevice tool (to reach tricky corners) and a brush that can be employed to scrub away dirt. You can easily remove the filter and wash it for easy maintenance, too.
