This 'tiny but mighty' handheld vacuum is half off on Amazon — take it home for just $35

Mar 12, 2025

In an ideal world, every household would have at least two vacuums: one full-sized model for deep cleans and one handheld device for tidying the little spills and messes of daily life. If you're on the hunt for that second type, the Powools Handheld Cordless Vacuum from Amazon Canada is a smart buy. It's nearly everything your big vacuum isn't — ultra-lightweight, easy to maneuver into tight spots, quiet and small enough to store on the kitchen counter or in a drawer.

With an average rating of 4.3 stars and nearly 800 five-star reviews, this cordless vacuum is a favourite among Amazon shoppers. Plus, it's 50 per cent off right now. Read on to discover what customers are saying.

This "tiny but mighty" vacuum is ultra-portable, weighing in at just 1.46 pounds.

Designed for tackling quick cleanups in the car or around the home, this petite vacuum is powered by a 2,000mAh battery — meaning no long, inconvenient cords. After 2.5 to 3 hours of charging, the battery provides 20 minutes of cleaning time.

Despite its small size, the vacuum comes with a powerful motor to suck up dirt, dust and pet hair from even the most hard-to-reach areas. It comes with an enhanced HEPA filter with a special filter wrap design to prevent clogging and ensure strong suction.

The vacuum also features a bright LED light so you can see dust and dirt in dark spaces like under the couch or next to the fridge.

Have a helpful kid? They'll be able to wield this ultra-lightweight tool. It's just 1.46 pounds.

The kit comes with a nozzle and crevice tool for reaching into small spaces, as well as a brush for tidying carpets and furniture.

🏆 "Convenient and lightweight for quick cleanups."

For parents of messy little humans and animals alike, this handy vacuum is a hero. Use it to clean up pet fur and dry spills — everything from "crumbs on the carpet and high chair" to rice and stinky bits of egg. "We use this thing multiple times a day," says one toddler parent.

The vacuum has surprisingly "strong suction." Though it won't have the same capacity as your full-sized vacuum cleaner, it is "very powerful and does a fantastic job" on those small messes where lugging out the big vacuum feels like overkill.

It's also super easy to clean. It has a "quite large transparent dustbin," so you can see when it needs to be emptied. Simply rinse the bin and let it sit out to air-dry.

Most reviewers say 20 minutes of charge is plenty for typical daily messes. However, some shoppers do complain that they "wish it lasted longer." There is also no charge display on the vacuum, so you'll have to guess how much power you have left.

It "isn't too loud," which is great for sensitive ears. It also has a handy light that you can turn on or off as needed for dark spaces.

Keep in mind that you'll need to "hold it parallel to the surface being vacuumed." If you try to use the vacuum at an angle, the suction won't work as well.

Reviewers love the portability and powerful suction of the Powools Handheld Cordless Vacuum. It's perfect for cleaning up small messes and reaching into tight spaces, whether you want to remove Cheerios from between your car seats or suck up pet hair from behind the couch. If you want to do a deep clean or tidy a large space, a full-sized vacuum will be better suited for the task since this handy little device has limited battery power.
