Best Handheld Vacuums for Pet Hair in the UK

The Pro Breeze Wet & Dry Cleaner is able to pick up bits off carpets, corners, stairs and other tricky surfaces owing to the rich set of attachments it comes with. Actually, it's supplied with a squeegee tool for removing spilt liquids from worktops and hard floors; a brush tool for picking up pet hair from carpets, furniture, or even a laptop keyboard; and a crevice tool for cleaning tight spots and hard-to-reach areas like in-between cushions or cars seats. Since it's made with a 14.8V 2000AH Lithium-ion battery, it can run up to 25 minutes continuously, which should be enough for cleaning the whole car interior as well as for regular crumb lifting all across your house.

The full charge takes 4-5 hours, and when the vac becomes fully charged, the indicator light turns green. The charging base comes with screws and raw plugs, so you can either place it on a flat surface or mount to the wall. For sure, this is one of the most versatile hand-held vacuum cleaners you can find on the market. It can really save you from taking a bulky vacuum out of the storage and plugging it in a socket.

Regardless of the brand, cordless handheld vacuums have two weak spots in their construction: the motor and the battery. With the Novece cleaner, the manufacturer uses a HEPA filter to protect the motor from fine dust and guarantee its long service. As for the battery, the Novice VT-DH001 runs on a 2200 mAh Li-ion battery. It works about 30 minutes after the full charge which takes about 4.5 hours. There are 3 LED indicators on the handle that light up when the cleaner is ready. So you always know exactly how much charge you have. Also, the battery promises up to 500 cycles or even more, but this is not what helps the cleaner serve you longer. The detachable construction of the battery aids in this considerably. That is to say, if the battery runs dead due to extended use, you can replace it and continue to enjoy cleaning with the Novece.

In order to enhance the performance of the VT-DH001, the manufacturer has equipped the hoover with a dual filtration system. It contains the filter holder that catches large particles and the HEPA filter inside of it for very fine dust. Both the filter and the holder are washable and replaceable. As for the dust bin, its capacity (600 ml) is enough for a couple of cleanups.

Sometimes, these cordless models can be quite loud. Fortunately, loud is not the word we would use to describe this unit's operation. Quite the opposite, producing less than 70 decibels, the vacuum will not disturb kids and frighten pets, enabling quick touch-ups even when the kids are sleeping nearby.

They're not necessarily the sexiest parts but filters can easily break hoovers as much as they can make them. Here, we're pivoting more towards the "making" end. Made from stainless steel, the two HEPA filters are durable and reliable, making sure that the rubbish is sealed inside. The sponge on these filters is washable and reusable, so you won't have to replace them anytime soon. When the dust bin is full, all you have to do is press the release button and empty the bin without facing any challenges.

Despite modest dimensions, the NOVETE handheld cleaner packs a big punch. Built with a 75-Watt metal fan motor, it's able to generate fairly good power to ensure stable operation and overheating resistance, even at extremely high temperatures. What's more, the motor enables users to choose between two modes - 4.5 kPa or 6 kPa suction. And for even more flexible cleaning, the vacuum comes equipped with a brush and flat nozzle for all kinds of cleaning jobs.

To sum up, with the NOVETE slim cleaner, you'll be able to clean dust, debris, and pet hair from sofas, carpets, car interiors, office desks, and more. Of course, it can't beat full-size vacs in terms of performance, but it's great for light work nevertheless. And owing to its portable design, it may be an especially attractive choice for small houses, flats, offices, and other confined spaces.

Besides extra-large bins, the URAQT vacuum houses an extra-powerful 120-Watt motor and a strong metal turbine that generate 4.5KPa suction to easily suck dust, crumbs, cat litter, pet hair, as well as spilt milk and other liquids. With that, the vacuum cleaner produces less than 78 dB of noise, providing a comfortable cleaning experience without disturbing little kids and scaring particularly sensitive pets.

To maintain the high suction power, the vacuum needs 3-5 hours for a full charge. What is notable is that it comes with a USB charging cable that can be connected to any existing charger in your house, thus, ensuring less piling up of proprietary device chargers. Also, it may be especially great if you're going to use the vac in your car with the USB. The only slight complaint is that the vacuum lacks a battery indicator. But other than that, this little guy is a perfect tool for the money. It offers very strong vacuuming for its size, has a large dust bin, and is easy to charge with USB.
