12 Best Handheld Vacuum Cleaners in Malaysia 2022 - Review

Overview:

A powerful 3-in-1 cleaning tool, the Dyson Digital Slim™ is a stick vacuum that can be transformed into a handheld one, allowing you to complete various cleaning tasks with just one device. Its versatility makes it a good investment in the long run. 

Weighing 1.9kg, it’s 30% lighter than the Dyson V11™. Its Slim Fluffy™ cleaner head can capture large debris with soft woven nylon, and sweep fine particles from hard floors thanks to the black anti-static carbon fire filaments. In addition, it comes with a crevice tool with LED lights, for easy cleaning of dark spaces.

Though lightweight, don’t underestimate its power. Equipped with a Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor, it spins at up to 120,000rpm to generate 100 Air Watts of powerful suction. Its 11 scrolled cyclones are designed to remove fine dust and dirt from the airflow.  On top of that, the Dyson Digital Slim™ has a 5-layer filtration system that captures dust and allergens. 

In terms of battery, this vacuum has up to 40 minutes of run time which puts it at the top of the spectrum as the average battery life of vacuums is between 15-40 minutes, though there may be outliers that can push a little longer than that. Further, the 3.5 hour charge time isn’t really a concern as you just have to leave it at the wall dock while it charges.

It has an LCD screen that allows you to receive filter maintenance reminders which takes the guesswork out of things and is helpful if you’re too busy to remember when it needs to be changed. It also displays the performance, settings, and blockage reports in real-time. 

Key features of the Dyson Digital Slim™ Fluffy Pro vacuum (Gold/Iron):

• Smooth bin emptying - The ejection mechanism with rotary catch enables no contact emptying of the bin 
• Easy maintenance - The components can be easily washed and wiped to keep them clean
• Removable battery -  Battery can be replaced with an additional click-in one(sold separately) to instantly double the run time

The difference between the Gold/Iron variant and the Purple/Iron colourway is that the former is a direct exclusive to the Dyson Demo store and www.dyson.my, and it includes an additional floor dock.

If you've got hair and pet dander all over the floor, the Corvan Cordless Anti-tangle Vacuum Cleaner is your new best friend.

Its anti-tangle motorized brush is its star quality and why we love it. You'll no longer have to struggle with disentangling human and pet hair from the vacuum brush whenever disposing of the contents. The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip that makes vacuuming a breeze.

Overview:

This vacuum cleaner has a smart charging function that auto-stops once fully charged, thus saving precious energy. Unlike most vacuum cleaners that require 4-5 hours of charging time, the Corvan requires only 2-3 hours to be fully charged. You will also love its narrow crevice tool that allows easy access to tight spaces, such as under the furniture or in a car interior.

Performance:

The Corvan is well-received mainly due to its anti-tangle feature that works wonders in picking up hair and fine dust. This makes the vacuum cleaner a piece of fine equipment for pet owners. One thing to note though; the battery power depletes quickly when running on turbo mode. 

• Power: 170W
• Weight: 1.4kg
• Capacity: 0.6 L
• Airwatts: 115Airwatts
• Run Time: 40 minutes
• Input Voltage: 230V

The Dibea F20 Max holds the title ‘best rated’ for good reason. It is an upgraded version of the company’s flagship product, Dibea F20, but made with newer technology and reinvented with 60% improvements on its power and motor, extending the vacuum’s lifespan by a whopping 5 times. 

Overview:

It includes three speed controls that pick up different kinds of debris: the eco-friendly mode is best for vacuuming dust and hair whereas the standard mode is used for picking up food crumbs. Meanwhile, the powerful mode has the ability to vacuum debris such as nuts and rock candy. Supporting its suction power is the vacuum’s wide-angle duct design that gives the brush head a double cleaning effect.

If you’re one of those people who view vacuuming as a vigorous physical exercise, you will particularly love how effortless it this vacuum cleaner feels. The Dibea f20 Max comes with a roller brush head that naturally drives forward, even when you push it with a light touch.

Performance:

Without too hefty a price tag, the Dibea F20 Max possesses good suction power that cleans most floor surfaces well. Reviewers have praised its easy operation. The only catch is that the floor brush isn’t very smooth when used.

• Power: 400W
• Weight: 2.5kg
• Capacity: 0.5L
• Run Time: 50 minutes
• Input Voltage: 29.6V
• Suction Power: 25000Pa

Light and affordable, the PerySmith 700W Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Storm Series PS7000 is an option you should seriously consider.

Overview:

This budget vacuum cleaner doesn't disappoint with 700W and a HEPA filter system. HEPA filters are an advanced and highly efficient filtration system that removes 99.97% of particles that are only 0.3 microns in size. On top of that, despite being so light, it has the capacity to hold up to 0.6L of dust and particles. 

Performance:

We are impressed by its powerful suction, a feature not common in most budget vacuum cleaners. However, many users have mentioned that it can be very noisy. It also tends to heat up very quickly; you may notice a temperature rise in the equipment even within 5 minutes of operating it.

Despite that fact, the vacuum is still safe to use, but we recommend not relying on it for long cleaning sessions.

• Noise: 68dB
• Power: 700W
• Weight: 1.50 kg
• Capacity: 0.6L
• Suction Power: 10000Pa

The best.

Features:

Beautifully built with an ergonomic handle, the Dibea D18 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner easily removes dust and particles from furniture surfaces, beds, car carpets, and tile floors. It can be placed almost horizontally to the ground, allowing it to flexibly clean the difficult-to-reach area under most furniture. 

Its multistage filtering system absorbs all debris with its high-precision cotton filter. The particles then go through the cyclone separation system that separates dust from the other particles. Lastly, the stainless-steel metal filter collects larger pieces of particles. 

Other interesting features include the LED lights firmly placed on the main tube that provide a better view of the floor and particles while you are vacuuming. Additionally, the indicator power lights in bars easily show you the battery percentage so that you'll know when it needs to be charged. 

Performance:

Overall, the Dibea D18 is somewhat similar to the Dibea F20 Max, but with weaker suction power. Do note that, in addition to being less suitable for carpeted floors, the D18 has been critiqued as having less-than-optimal battery life. Nonetheless, its performance is satisfactory at this price point. 

• Power: 120W
• Weight: 2kg
• Capacity: 0.5L
• Run Time: 45 minutes
• Input Voltage: 22.2V
• Suction Power: 9000Pa

Overview:

It has an extra-long ergonomic handle. This is especially useful for reaching deep into small crevices and cleaning the surfaces between small corners.

The handy vacuum cleaner surprisingly has high suction power, an attribute not commonly seen among small vacuum cleaners. Its pro-cyclone technology separates dust and air extremely effectively in one go; this explains why it’s so easy to clean the appliance.

Performance:

The Shimono has always been popular among netizens, having a reputation of being small yet powerful. Unfortunately, the vacuum cleaner is not cordless, and there is no mention of it being able to connect via a USB cable. Also, unlike many other small vacuum cleaners, it is rather noisy and heats up quickly.

• Power: 600W

Here's a value-for-money recommendation. 

Overview:

As its name suggests, the Samu Giken UV Vacuum Cleaner Dust Mite Killer effectively removes mites, bed bugs, E. coli, salmonella, and other airborne allergens in your home. This is only possible because of its Germicidal UV Light Technology which can kill up to 99.9% of bacteria.

Therefore, the vacuum cleaner is perfect for cleaning fabric surfaces on sofas, curtains, and mattresses; home to a myriad of harmful bacteria.

What makes the Tineco S12 Ex Smart Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner so fascinating is its iLoop smart sensor technology that senses dirt in real-time and automatically adjusts suction power according to the varying dirt amount.

Because of its smart battery management system, the Tineco has an impressive runtime of up to 100 minutes whereas most vacuum cleaners have a runtime of only 45 minutes.

The vacuum cleaner can even be integrated with a mobile app to receive real-time updates, set cleaning reminders, and keep track of your cleaning reports. Up to 99.97% of particles are captured with its stringent 4-stage filtration system, consisting of a HEPA filter that expels non-allergenic fresh air, a pre-filter that blocks fine dust, a mesh filter that blocks hairs and dust, and finally a cyclone system that separates large particles.

Performance:

Users are impressed with its superior battery life, premium material, and top-notch smart technology. However, because of its weight, the vacuum cleaner is rather difficult to manoeuvre, especially in tight spaces like in-between chair legs.

• Power: 500W
• Weight: 3kg
• Capacity: 0.6L
• Airwatts: 145 Airwatts
• Run Time: 100 minutes
• Suction Power: 26000Pa

A lightweight vacuum makes cleaning easier as you won't have trouble lugging it around.

Overview:

Say goodbye to blind spots in cleaning, because the Airbot iRoom CV100 Vacuum Cleaner has a slim and flat design that easily cleans corners. It helps that the vacuum also comes equipped with smooth wheels for ease of manoeuvring.  

In addition to its slim design, the Airbot is almost feather-light; weighing just 1.9kg. 

One interesting feature is that the Airbot has double-sided exhaust valves that cool the equipment easily, ensuring heat dissipation and preserving efficiency. This feature ensures that there’s no need to worry about the vacuum cleaner heating up excessively.

Performance:

The Airbot is frequently praised for being light, versatile and easy to manoeuvre. On the downside, the battery isn't very long-lasting and its suction is rather weak. With that said, the Airbot is best for light usage only.

• Noise: 50-60dB
• Power: 150W
• Weight: 1.6kg
• Capacity: 0.6L
• Run Time: Lowspeed: 30-45 minutes; High speed: 10-15 minutes

For those who prefer a corded, handheld vacuum with strong performance, the Pensonic PVC-1000H is for you.

Overview:

Made with an aluminium telescopic tube in a beautiful orange colour, it is fairly easy to assemble; its main body and dusk tank can be swiftly disassembled to clear out debris in the tank.

Its 4.5-metre-long cord makes cleaning easy as you won't have to frequently plug it into different power points to clean another part of the room. The wall-mounted hook is convenient as enables the vacuum to be kept neatly in an upright position; no more struggle with reassembling the vacuum cleaner every time you need to use it.

Performance:

While the Pensonic has been largely complimented for its good value, it is rather heavy for handheld vacuuming although only at 5.4kg. Several have said that they get tired easily from lifting it. Therefore, it is recommended for vacuuming floors instead of walls and other upright surfaces.

• Power: 600W(Max: 690W)
• Weight: 4.9kg
• Capacity: 0.5L
• Input Voltage: 220-240V
