handheld vacuum

Cordless crumb collector

A handheld vacuum is a small, portable vacuum cleaner designed to be operated with one hand.

Unlike full-sized vacuums, handhelds are lightweight and cordless, meant for quick cleanups rather than whole-room jobs: I keep a handheld vacuum in the kitchen for crumbs.

They're especially useful for cars, upholstery, and tight spaces.
