Since moving out on my own, I’ve admittedly become a bit of a clean freak. For me, cleaning my home is the ultimate self-care activity. After all, nothing feels better than waking up on a Sunday morning, throwing on a good playlist, and pulling out the Fabuloso, am I right? (Don’t answer that.) As someone who genuinely enjoys cleaning, I also love discovering new must-have cleaning gadgets — you could even say I’ve become a collector of sorts. From my go-to electric tub scrubber to the drying rack that transformed the way I do laundry in my tiny studio (which I wrote about on Kitchn’s sister site), I’ve come across some pretty awesome finds over the last year, but this latest one might be the best yet. Recently, after voicing my need for a small yet powerful hand vacuum, a friend of mine suggested I try out the eufy by Anker HomeVac H11 Handheld Vacuum, and dear reader, I’m officially obsessed.
Chic, cordless, and compact, the HomeVac H11 is the stuff of dreams. For the most part, hand vacuums can be rather large and unsightly, but this one puts a stylish spin on the popular cleaning tool with a sleek design that’s roughly the size of an average wine bottle. But don’t let the size (or price!) fool you — this vacuum packs a punch. With a powerful 5,500Pa suction power, a washable high-efficiency filter, and an included multi-use crevice tool to reach every nook and cranny, this dustbuster might just become the star of your cleaning kit. The best part? It packs all of this power into a device that weighs just 1.2 pounds!
When I first unboxed the device, I was truly taken aback by how lightweight and stylish it was, with its matte finish and slim design — so, yes, I was definitely immediately sold on its look, but its power was still up for debate. Upon first use, however, I knew this vacuum was special, picking up everything from dust to crumbs with extreme ease. But where I found it really shined was on my couch. With the included crevice tool, I was able to get deep between the cushions and the lining of my sofa, removing a lot of dust and debris that had been there for I don’t want to know how long. Something I also loved was that the crevice tool can be transformed into a brush tool, one that I found particularly effective on throw pillows, blankets, and even the keyboard on my desk. By the time I was done using it, my place was spotless, and I had found a new go-to.
Normally $60, the eufy HomeVac H11 is currently available for just $40 and comes in three chic colors: black, white, and mint. So if you’re like me and are in need of a powerful hand vac that won’t take a lot of space (and isn’t hard on the eyes either), give this one a try. I promise you it sucks — in the best way.
