I don't have a handheld vacuum,but I own a Shop-Vac.

the only reason people think dysons pick up more dirt is because it has a rediculasly small dirt cup so they think it fills up quicker

The only thing people buy Dysons is because of the name!! People think they don't lose suction, but they do, they are a waste of money!! I hate them and I will never waste my cash for a stupid $500 piece of plastic which brakes!! And plus they are junk. I like Oreck & Simplicity Vacuums.

Orecks are hardly a powwerfull vacuum be glad you dont have them over there, go to your friendly independant vac dealer and get something worthwhile

You dont use a cordless for that crap how bout a dustpan 10 seconds you idiots the run your regular vacuum to finish and dont get any bagless vacuums as none are much good

WET DISGUSTING KITTY LITTER

The kitty litter is a good weighted product to use against food particles and any other kind of household dirt you would use to pick up with a handheld generally. Theyve thought well about this test with regard to the light, medium and heavy dirt pick up. Go figure!
