Best Small Vacuum Cleaners for Home


If the living space is small, you had better buy a good small vacuum cleaner, that is convenient to store but still powerful enough for your cleaning needs. We want to provide handy tips for selection and a List of best vacuums brands

based on small vacuum cleaner reviews.


1. Types of vacuum cleaner that come in a compact size


Today, there are various kinds of vacuum cleaners available on the market, such as handheld vacuums, stick vacuums, canister vacuums, upright vacuums, and robot vacuums. Upright vacuum cleaners usually have the most durable suction power but are too large for a small apartment.


Canister vacuums, stick vacuums, handheld vacuums, and robot vacuums have become popular choices for small studios because of their advantage in size. Among them, canister vacuums are the most powerful, followed by stick vacuums, handheld vacuums, and robot vacuums, respectively. Also, choosing between a bagged or bagless model, corded or cordless model depends on your requirements for the vacuum cleaner and its advantages and disadvantages.


2. Top best small canister vacuum cleaners


Below are three good small vacuums of the canister type from reputable vacuum cleaner manufacturers.


Eureka Mighty Mite 3670G Canister Vacuum Cleaner


The advantages:



  • Coming with a lot of attachments
  • A highly maneuverable with an extra-long 20-foot cord

The disadvantages:



  • Need to replace dust bags frequently
  • Noisy

This vacuum cleaner works well on any kind of floor (bare floor, rugs, and carpets). With the weight less than nine pounds, the Mighty Mite 3670G is maneuverable thanks to supporting by big built-in wheels and extra-long 20-foot cord. Its power suction is equal to an upright model. Besides, two extension wands and two specialty attachments help to vacuum stairs and upholstery. Its main disadvantages are the need to change the dust bag frequently and rather noisy operation.

Marcus, you're going to find weights all over the place, depending on many factors, including model, year, USA or Custom Shop, LP Standard or Custom, Klusons or Grovers, Bigsby or not, etc. Some of the featherweights that were ordered by Wildwood are in the low to mid 7 lb. range. Most Historics are in the 8 to 9 lb. range. Many 70's and 80's LPs can get into the 10+ lb. range. :hank

I have many light guitars but there's something reassuring about the weight of my Les Paul. However, I ordered a musicians folding stool for our 3hr rehearsals as I have to get the weight off my back after about two hours of standing.

My '02 Standard is fairly light. I don't have an exact weight, but I'm guessing 8.5 - 9 or so. My Heritage H150 (for all intents and purposes the same as a Les Paul) is a beast, at 10.5+. I have a wide strap on it and I still can't play it standing up for too long or my back starts hurting. This is the only guitar I have like that.

My 2014 Traditional Pro has 9-hole weight relief and weighs 8 pounds 3 ounces. That’s about perfect for me.

I've never weighed a Les Paul. Not a one of the many I've owned, nor the dozen I have now. I was never interested enough in mere weight as much as tone, feel and vibe. I do kinda break 'em down by light, medium and heavy. The 3 R9's and R8 were, (are), all closest to 9'lbs if I remember what the dealers claimed. A spread of 8lb 10oz to 9lb.

In the light category are a pair of chambered and at the other end are the Norlins. That's as specific as I can get.
