This piece was originally entitled "The best hand held vacuum cleaner." Up until the point when it occured to me that there is no such thing as "The best hand held vaccum cleaner!" What is "best" for your needs may not be so for me. It is a question of need, therefore a subjective, personal matter. Therefore, the "best hand held vacuum cleaner" for you is the machine that meets your personal needs.
The issue for the majority of people is not in identifying their needs, rather the perplexingly extensive variety of different hand held vacuum cleaners on offer and trying to sift through them to find the correct one.
It is my hope that our discussion here will help you in the selection of the right machine.
Corded/Cordless
The corded (which you can plug directly into your main electric supply) are more powerful and don't loss power as the cordless do as/when the batteries run out. On the other hand, the corded are not as versatile as their cordless hand held vacuum cleaner relatives which can go anywhere. What you perceive to be the main location/area of use may well enable you to determine whether corded or cordless is best for you. For example, if this is going to be used primarily as part of your weekly car cleaning routine then cordless is most likely the way to go.
Work rate
The power rating will give the best measure of suction. Again, your requirements are determined by where and when you perceive using the cleaner. There is point in paying a premium for an industrial hand held if you don't require that kind of suction.
Wet & Dry/Filter/Pet Hairs/etc
Have you a dog? Have you, like myself, girls with long hair? You most likely require an attachment which will ease the task of lifting the unwanted hairs from your carpets. Have you an asthma sufferer in the family? The filter in your cleaner is an important issue for you. A good filter will prevent dust being recirculated back into the air.
Weight/Size
May not be an issue for most users, but if you are elderly or weakened by illness you may find some models quite heavy/cumbersome for prolonged use.
Balancing the budget
No matter what other features you would like or needs you feel have to be addressed most people will ultimately have to try to strike a balance between what they would like if money were not an issue and what they can afford given that money really is an issue. Happily there is such a comprehensive range of hand held vacuum cleaners available with a wide range of price points that there is a price to suit every budget.
Guarantee
The various manufacturers offer various terms and conditions. Always read the small print and satisfy yourself that you are covered for any faults that may occur.

As with all purchases the buyer must use due diligence, determine your needs, consider the alternatives, set a realistic budget, and get the best price.
