Black & Decker Cyclonic Vacuum

Let’s face it. Dust bunnies happen.

No matter how clean, neat, and tidy you are; no matter how many times you sweep and scrub your apartment, there will always be the inevitable tumbleweed of dust rolling around and hiding cleverly behind your couch avoiding you when in cleaning mode.

The Black & Decker Cyclonic Vacuum is a hard wood floored apartment’s best friend and a dust bunny’s worst nightmare. The vacuum’s tiny handheld size is perfect for apartments or condos – both in cleaning and with its easy storage. Its lightweight feel is certainly no indication of its' (if you’ll pardon the expression) “sucking power.” I am able to scoop up cat hair, food crumbs, human hair that comes with blow-drying one’s hair in the bathroom daily, more cat hair, and yes even those pesky dust bunnies in one fell swoop.

If you live in an apartment or a space too small for an actual stand-up vacuum I heartily recommend this product. I’ve used it on my carpeted stairs with mixed results but have been very happy with its ability along hardwood floors and – a favorite dust bunny hide away – heating floor boards.

Average price: $35 (priced through Amazon)
