Amazon Prime Members Can Shop This Handheld Vacuum for $28

How great could the suction on a vacuum cleaner that weighs less than 1.5 pounds really be? “Amazingly powerful,” according to the shoppers who use it to clean quick messes in their homes and cars each day.

Amazon Prime members can grab the Powools Handheld Cordless Vacuum for only $28 today with double discounts. Normally $50, it’s 28 percent off for Prime subscribers and there’s a coupon that takes  the price down to nearly 50 percent off. It’s a rechargeable cleaning machine that’s pleasantly surprised many shoppers with its battery life, suction power, and usefulness.

The compact vacuum has the look of a classic dustbuster, with an ergonomic handle that has a power button in easy position for your thumb to reach, and a cone-shaped cap that maximizes suction and doubles as the dustbin. It’s just over 14 inches long and 4.6 inches wide.

It takes up to three hours to fully charge and can clean for 20 minutes before it dies. That battery life is comparable to — and better than, in some cases — pricey cordless stick vacuums when they’re operating at their highest setting. In reality, you’ll probably never run the battery all the way down because it’s a vacuum that’s designed for cleaning up small messes in a hurry.

“It’s fantastic for quick little messes, as well as vacuuming the car without having to pull out a full-size vacuum and deal with the hose,” wrote another shopper. “The battery life has always been enough to get the job done.”

According to a third reviewer, its suction is powerful enough to pull up pet hair that’s stuck on fabric couches and that its motor is quiet enough to carry on a conversation while you’re using it. Another thoughtful touch is the LED light on top that toggles on and off with an easy-to-reach switch near the power button.

The dustbin clicks off for easy emptying and can be rinsed when it inevitably starts looking a little grimey. The vacuum also comes with an upholstery attachment, a crevice nozzle, a cleaning brush, and an extra HEPA filter.

Amazon Prime members should nab the Powools Handheld Cordless Vacuum while it’s less than $30. Sign up for a free trial if you want the discount but aren’t a subscriber.
