A handheld vacuum is a great tool for getting into nooks and crannies, sucking up crumbs in car back seats, spot-cleaning tumbleweeds of pet hair, and more. The Black + Decker Dustbuster was one of the original handheld vacuums when it debuted in 1979, and it still packs a punch. “It’s so tiny that I usually just tuck it under my coffee table,” says tech worker and longhaired-cat owner Marina Frances. “But don’t be fooled by the size — it still sucks up hair.” If you’re looking to get a jump-start on fall cleaning, the vacuum is 33 percent off today, down to just $34.
